Case Studies

Exchange of Real Property Between U.S. Army and Private Industrial Park

Kegler Brown acted as counsel to a privately owned industrial park to acquire adjoining land from the U.S. Army through a federal exchange program in which the private party obligates itself to construct a facility at another government-owned facility and then exchanges the new facility for the property it actually desired to acquire, namely the adjoining U.S. Army-owned land. Our firm was integral to the negotiations, including navigating through the maze of government requirements for the exchange that included approval of Congress.

Cargominiums

Beginning in 2015, Kegler Brown provided general counsel to Nothing Into Something Real Estate (NISRE), a faith-based non-profit housing organization in central Ohio throughout the complicated process leading up to the groundbreaking of their 25-unit housing complex, Cargominiums. To create this affordable, sustainable and eco-friendly apartment building constructed from repurposed shipping containers, NISRE relied on the advice of Kegler Brown to resolve issues in zoning and real estate, and securing and structuring finances.

NISRE’s Cargominiums are scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2017 and will be Ohio’s first residential building created from shipping containers. Kegler Brown will continue to provide legal services throughout the construction process.
