Real Estate & Lending

Since its founding in 1976, WKPZ has been one of Houston’s preeminent real estate law firms.

Our attorneys have decades of experience handling complex real estate transactions in Texas and throughout the country. We handle all stages of a real estate project: from the initial acquisition, financing, and development through the negotiation of leases with prospective tenants, management, and finally, disposition.

We think the way real estate developers think—enabling us to provide practical, creative advice to help clients achieve cost-efficient and timely results.

We have worked with a diverse range of clients, including developers, businesses, private equity firms, REITs, and entrepreneurial individuals, to realize their visions and attain their financial and business objectives. We provide comprehensive services, from assisting families in purchasing “absolute net lease” assets for stable cash flow to negotiating leases for first-time restaurateurs. Our multidisciplinary team assists clients with fund formation and joint venture structuring, real estate-related disputes and workouts, distressed asset acquisition, and more. We guide and support developers on adaptive reuse projects and represent joint ventures in assembling billion-dollar industrial portfolios. No matter the need, our team is equipped with the skills and knowledge to ensure our clients achieve their real estate goals.
