Reed represents sponsors, developers, borrowers, and family offices in commercial real estate acquisitions, dispositions, and joint ventures across multifamily, build-to-rent, retail, and land. He also handles the financings behind them—whether agency, conventional, HUD, debt fund, or bridge. He has closed over $15 billion in transactions over his career.
A great deal of that work carries an affordable housing layer—HUD financed and project-based Section 8, 4% low-income housing tax credit developments financed with tax-exempt bonds, public facility corporation and housing finance corporation partnerships, and CHDO acquisitions of existing tax credit properties. Reed often serves as outside general counsel to single family offices and multifamily investment platforms, advising clients on a wide range of matters and ensuring their needs are met.
On the corporate side, he advises closely held companies and family enterprises on governance, entity structuring, and the transactions that come with generational wealth transfer, and he sits on boards of multinational private corporations and holding corporations, as well as non-profit charities serving the Dallas community.
Much of his work arrives by referral from other lawyers, frequently from national firms with Texas matters to place.
