Emanuel Tsourounis II is a member of the firm’s Real Estate, Real Estate Special Opportunities and Restaurant and Hospitality Groups.

 

Experience

Emanuel’s practice spans a wide range of commercial real estate transactions including advising on the origination, servicing, and restructuring of mortgage and mezzanine loans, bridge and construction loans, revolving credit facilities, and preferred equity investments and related secondary market transactions, as well as negotiating joint ventures, acquisitions, dispositions, ground leases, and various development-related agreements, and involves real estate assets consisting of multifamily residential, office, retail, hospitality, industrial, and mixed-use properties located across the United States.

Emanuel’s clients include domestic and foreign banks, developers, real estate investment funds, real estate investment trusts, Fortune 500 companies, and other institutional clients. In his lending matters, Emanuel represents lenders in connection with the origination of loans intended for both securitization and to be held in portfolio.

  • An insurance company’s origination of a $158 million mortgage loan that refinanced a single-tenant commercial property in Seattle, Washington
  • A real estate investment fund’s $45 million junior mezzanine loan that refinanced two multifamily development projects in Irvine, California, which is subordinate to a combined $265 million of mortgage and senior mezzanine loans
  • A family-owned developer/operator’s $60 million refinancing of an office tower in McLean, Virginia
  • A family-owned developer/operator in the sale of two student housing complexes in College Park, Maryland

  • An international client in connection with the acquisition, development and $54 million financing of a mixed-use development project in Silver Spring, Maryland, including the construction of a replacement church for the seller
  • A publicly-traded REIT in connection with the negotiation of a joint venture for the development and operation of a 177-room hotel in a mixed-use condominium project in Rockville, Maryland
