Overview

Nida is a transactional real estate attorney who co-leads the firm’s Retail Institute and focuses her practice on real estate acquisitions and dispositions, retail, industrial, and office leasing agreements, condominium developments, and real estate financing.

Nida enjoys being on the cutting edge of the retail space. She is a trusted advisor for retail companies looking to expand their footprint in existing markets and has worked closely with a major online retailer in its leasing arrangements for a new innovative brick-and-mortar retail concept.

She also regularly advises clients as they expand into new markets. She handled all of the leasing negotiations and arrangements for a Wisconsin-based coffee shop that expanded into the Chicago market with five new locations in under two years. When the same company needed to find space to establish a large bakery to service the new locations, again they turned to Nida to handle all the negotiations.  

Her experience also expands beyond the retail leasing space and includes advising developers, retailers and companies on acquisitions and dispositions of their real estate assets, creating and structuring commercial condominiums, and negotiating development and operational documents with co-investors and municipalities.
