Real estate acquisition: from lease to ownership

A real estate acquisition from lease to ownership can give a business greater control over its operating premises and create a stronger base for long-term investment. In the case described, ARROWS combined the property purchase with a holding restructuring, prepared the transfer documents, negotiated with owners and supported the financing process. This article shows how corporate structuring and real estate acquisition can be coordinated in one transaction.

Real estate team specializing in transitioning from lease to ownership.

Legal support included the preparation and execution of all necessary documents for intra-group transfers, ensuring compliance with legal regulations, and coordination with financial advisors. Our team of lawyers also led negotiations with property owners, prepared purchase agreements, and participated in securing financing for the acquisitions.

We would like to thank our excellent lawyers, especially Mgr. Jan Medek, who specializes in mergers and acquisitions, setting up holding structures, and resolving complex corporate disputes. His expertise and broad legal practice were key to the successful completion of the transaction and confirmed the high quality of the entire team's work.
