About Kenneth G. Lore
Ken Lore, chair of the Real Estate practice – East Coast, has developed a nationally recognized real estate finance practice based upon his representation of owners, developers, investors and lenders by creating complex equity, debt financing structures and insolvency/workout matters. His transactions involve multifamily rental properties, mixed use development, affordable housing, public-private partnerships, office buildings and other commercial projects.
Solving complex real estate financing problems others can't
Clients do not come to Ken for a cookie-cutter deal or approach. Owners, developers, equity investors, lenders and other deal participants seek him out when they have stubborn problems others can't solve. He has frequently created entirely new financing structures that paved the way for third-party investors and governmental entities to provide critical and necessary funding. Ken secured Internal Revenue Service private-letter rulings supporting the structures and has gone on to use and improve those structures many times, making refinements to take advantage of changes in laws and market conditions.
