Situation
After a thoughtful, years-long planning process, our client, MasterCard, decided to move forward with the development and construction of a global operations and technology center near St. Louis, Missouri. It sought Husch Blackwell’s assistance as legal counsel for the project.
Result
Husch Blackwell represented MasterCard in the development, construction, and financing of the 500,000 square-foot project. Negotiation of a complex leasing structure designed to facilitate tax abatement assistance also was involved. The project later earned a LEED Gold rating for its sustainable practices and features.
