Dealmakers Q&A: Hunton & Williams’ Carl Schwartz
September, 2014 - New York, New York
Co-head of Hunton & Williams LLP's global real estate practice, Carl F. Schwartz has led numerous high-profile and complicated deals across the country. Recently, he advised DTH Capital Inc. in connection with a $240 million construction loan with respect to 20 Exchange Place, the landmark Art Deco building built in 1931. Schwartz advises some of the country’s most prominent owners and developers, real estate investment trusts and private equity funds in their real estate acquisitions, dispositions, developments, financings, workouts, restructurings and joint ventures, and institutional lenders in mortgage, mezzanine and construction financings.
Not only well-respected by his peers, Schwartz is often recognized by groups such as Chambers & Partners, where he has been commended by clients for his problem-solving abilities. The Legal 500 calls him “very diligent” and praises Schwartz and his team for being “reliable, exceedingly knowledgeable and very driven.” Out of the office, Schwartz reveals another true passion as he keeps the bottom groove with his bass in the rock band, Normal by Day — a name perhaps alluding to Schwartz’s engaging personality. He organized the charity concert, “Real Estate Rockers for Relief,” which features real estate executives and their bands.
