David M. Scolnic helps clients realize their goals in acquiring, developing, constructing, financing, investing, leasing, and managing large and small real estate projects and portfolios locally, nationally and internationally.
In addition to representing traditional real estate clients – such as developers, investors, lenders, and brokers – David represents companies that do not consider themselves to be in the real estate business but nonetheless have substantial ongoing real estate needs. Whether representing a budding business in leasing its first office or one of the nation’s foremost providers of rehabilitation services in creating a new hospital in Los Angeles, David meets the real estate needs of his clients.
With a master’s degree in City Planning, David has extensive experience handling projects using a myriad of public grants, loans and other participation – whether financial or otherwise – from various levels of government, including local, state and federal. David has helped clients bring to fruition both urban and “inner-ring” suburban redevelopment.
