NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2026 Building on an active 2025, Greenberg Traurig, LLP's Global Real Estate Practice enters 2026 with strong momentum in deal flow, fueled by investor interest and sound market fundamentals.

From the development of a new data center campus in rural Louisiana to one of the largest portfolio deals ever completed in the medical office building sector, the Real Estate Practice advised on some of the industry's most sophisticated projects and transactions in 2025.

"We are incredibly proud to have delivered on key opportunities for our clients across a broad range of asset classes over the past year. Our ability to help clients navigate a rapidly evolving market is a testament to the strength of our legal talent and the collaborative approach that defines our work," said Greenberg Traurig Co-President Michael J. Baum, co-chair of the firm's Global Real Estate Practice.

"As we begin 2026, the practice remains firmly committed to strategic growth — strengthening our asset-class capabilities, investing in our people, and expanding in ways that align with client demand and the firm's long-term priorities," Baum continued. "We enter the year with confidence, momentum, and a clear focus on building a platform for continued success."

The team's representations in 2025 included advising PIMCO funds on the acquisition of a significant portion of a $27 billion private bond package that will finance the development of Meta Platforms' Hyperion data center campus in Richland Parish, Louisiana — one of the largest private debt offerings ever completed.

Greenberg Traurig attorneys also represented Remedy Medical Properties and Kayne Anderson Real Estate in the acquisition from Welltower of a portfolio of 296 outpatient medical assets totaling 18 million square feet nationwide.

Additionally, the team handled major deals for other key clients such as Core Spaces, Global Net Lease, Global Student Accommodation, Invesco, Mesirow, Related Group, Ryman Hospitality, SL Green, and Swire Properties.

"Through these and many other transactions last year, our team continually demonstrated the depth and breadth of our experience in tackling an array of legal challenges to get deals done in a rapidly evolving market," said Miami Shareholder Richard J. Giusto, co-chair of the Global Real Estate Practice. "Many of our client relationships span decades, and we believe this speaks volumes about the strong trust our clients place in us."

With more than 700 lawyers worldwide, the real estate practice continued to strategically expand in 2025, bolstering its capabilities in key markets across the United States and globally, including a wave of new hires in the Middle East, where the team was recognized with a 2025 Law Firm of the Year Award – UAE by Media Law International. The practice also welcomed key additions in Boston, Houston, Las Vegas, Munich, Orlando, San Francisco, and Singapore.

"Real estate has been a cornerstone of Greenberg Traurig's growth and success since our founding 59 years ago in Miami," said Los Angeles Co-Managing Shareholder Gregory A. Fishman, co-chair of the Global Real Estate Practice. "Today, with offices in the United States, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, Greenberg Traurig has the necessary reach and platform to guide clients through their largest and most complex real estate deals worldwide."

The team's work in 2025 spanned the spectrum of property asset classes, including rapidly growing real estate-adjacent sectors such as data centers, energy infrastructure, and sports facilities. Toward that end, Greenberg Traurig integrated its Digital Infrastructure Group into the Real Estate Practice, further ensuring the team's ability to provide holistic counsel to clients in the data center, digital infrastructure, and telecommunications industries.

"As artificial intelligence and other technologies reshape our world, Greenberg Traurig's multidisciplinary Digital Infrastructure Group brings together about 100 lawyers from two dozen offices globally to support the diverse legal needs of developers and investors in this sector," said New York Shareholder Stephen L. Rabinowitz, co-chair of the Global Real Estate Practice. "We pride ourselves on staying ahead of market trends and working closely together as a team to help clients thrive in an interconnected world. Our extensive global resources, coupled with our collaborative culture, enable us to adapt quickly and strategically amid rapid market changes and increasing complexity."

The real estate team's work in 2025 also covered the gamut of transactions and matters, including asset management, fund formations, joint ventures, property development, litigation, and restructurings.

"Our clients rely on us not only for our legal skills, but for our proactive insights based on a deep understanding of their businesses," said Dr. Christian Schede, co-chair of the Global Real Estate Practice and founding chairman of the firm's office in Germany. "This unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class legal services will remain the bedrock of our growth and success, especially as we look to an active 2026 market."
