By: Amy Wolff Sorter

Brian Lichter

Company: 

Davis Polk

Led team in handling $1 billion in acquisition and financing of 590 Madison Avenue

Handled a $565-million under-construction multifamily project

Brian Lichter is co-head of Davis Polk’s Real Estate practice. He represents property owners, developers, funds, REITs and financial institutions in commercial real estate transactions.

In one notable matter, Lichter led the Davis Polk team in advising an RXR and Elliott Investment Management joint venture in its $1.08-billion acquisition and financing of 590 Madison Ave. He led the team in representing Strategic Value Partners’ acquisition, joint venture and $565-million recapitalization of the partially constructed 829-unit multifamily Hudson House in New Jersey.

Lichter was recently inducted into the American College of Real Estate Lawyers (ACREL) and is frequently invited to speak and moderate panels at prominent real estate events.

He is a member of the Real Estate Board of New York and is an associate trustee of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Lichter is a member of the Combating Antisemitism Advisory Committee and serves on the Real Estate Executive Committee of UJA-Federation of New York and is on the board of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York.

These are some of the reasons why Brian Lichter received Connect CRE’s 2025 New York & Tri-State Lawyers in Real Estate Award. The award celebrates real estate attorneys who have distinguished themselves in their practice and the larger community.
