The Carlyle Hotel, New York, New York

Mr. Pachecano, while employed with the law firm of LePatner & Associates LLP, authored comprehensive due diligence reporting for the $137 million sale of historic landmark hotel for purposes of negotiating final terms of sale for closing attorneys, Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP. Mr. Pachecano's work helped provide insight of zoning issues and local law facade compliance concerns--these major items were addressed subsequent to acquisition by Rosewood Resorts in which Mr. Pachecano took an active lead in bringing about regulatory compliance.  Mr. Pachecano assisted in preparing a comprehensive capital improvements plan including a contemplated $5 million mechanical infrastructure overhaul. He also led the seminal Certificate of Occupancy analysis and resolved zoning conflicts which affected the legal use of the property. This work produced acquisitions savings for the client of over $5 million and yielded a clear, unencumbered title greatly enhancing the property's marketability.
