Kasowitz counsels Hudson River Park Trust on Pier55 lease deal

Law firm Kasowitz acted as pro bono counsel to Hudson River Park Trust in the negotiation of the Pier55 lease and related security documents for the construction of a $130 million public open space and performance pier. "Both Kasowitz as a firm, and our real estate group, have a strong commitment to providing pro bono services to our surrounding community, and it was rewarding to help bring this stage of what is a historic and transformative development along our city's waterfront to fruition," said Douglas Heitner, partner with Kasowitz's real estate practice. Heitner was joined by Matthew Deavers in representing the trust.
