Pillsbury partner Laura Hannusch was profiled in Daily Journal, which named her a top development attorney. In that profile, she spoke about real estate conditions and the need for buyers to seek creative ways to close a deal.
“There is lots of money chasing deals and buyers have to be able to react quickly,” Hannusch said. “If they have the ability to close with all cash, that can make a huge difference between getting a deal done or not getting a deal done.”
The article covers Hannusch’s real estate practice, mentioning long-standing clients such as San Francisco’s Bay Area Rapid Transit, or BART, as well as recent deals in Texas such as Crescent Real Estate’s simultaneous sale of a complex in Houston and an office tower in Fort Worth. Since she maintains a presence in both the firm’s San Francisco and Houston offices, Hannusch is well-versed in the different potential obstacles in each market.
“It’s easier to get projects built in Texas,” she said. “In San Francisco, knowing how the development process works is a very valuable asset to have.”
