Scott’s practice spans a broad range of asset classes, including retail and shopping centers, office, multifamily and mixed-use developments, condominiums, raw land, residential developments, senior housing, and healthcare facilities.

He has led the development and sale of hundreds of single-tenant, net-leased retail properties operated by national retailers, managing the full transaction cycle from site acquisition and build-to-suit development through lease execution and investor disposition.

Scott has managed the disposition of more than 100 REO properties across the country, spanning retail, office, multifamily, mixed-use, senior housing, and healthcare assets.

He represents both landlords and tenants across all major lease types, including commercial, office, industrial, retail, medical, and ground leases, as well as build-to-suit arrangements. He has handled hundreds of leasing matters across more than 25 states.

Scott represents developers in securing economic incentives for real estate projects, including negotiating incentive agreements with local governments and quasi-governmental entities.
