Commercial real estate counsel for Jupiter businesses.
Skandalakis & Ross handles commercial real estate transactions for clients in Jupiter and across South Florida. Led by Jack N. Ross, the practice covers purchases and sales, office, retail, restaurant, and industrial leasing, development and brokerage agreements, and the lease terms that decide whether a business can later be sold with its location.
Jupiter's business community spans life sciences, marine industries, and professional services. In Jupiter, we regularly see businesses in life sciences, marine industries, and professional services, each with its own contract, diligence, and structuring issues.
The provisions that cause trouble rarely sit in the rent clause. Assignment rights, operating expense pass-throughs, personal guaranties, renewal options, and SNDAs determine whether a location can be sold, expanded, or refinanced. We negotiate them going in, and we coordinate diligence and closing with your title agent and lender.
The firm’s offices are in Oakland Park, Florida (by appointment) and Canton, Georgia. We meet Jupiter clients at the Oakland Park office, by video, or at your place of business. Florida matters are handled by Jack N. Ross, licensed to practice law in Florida.

Commercial Real Estate overviewAbout Jack N. RossOur attorneys
Commercial Real Estate lawyer questions from Jupiter clients.
Do you represent landlords or tenants in Jupiter?
Both, along with buyers, sellers, and developers. We represent one side of any given transaction.
How long does a commercial closing take?
Typically 30 to 90 days from contract, driven by diligence, financing, and title work. The contract sets the clock, which is one more reason to negotiate it carefully.
Is a lease review worth it for a small space?
A five-year lease with renewals is often a seven-figure obligation over its life. One bad assignment or pass-through clause costs far more than the review.
Do you meet with Jupiter clients in person?
The firm’s offices are in Oakland Park, Florida (by appointment) and Canton, Georgia. We meet Jupiter clients at the Oakland Park office, by video, or at your place of business.
