Mark Grobmyer is a member of Winstead’s Real Estate Development & Investments Practice Group, with a practice focused on condominium and HOA/POA governance and the legal infrastructure that supports residential, mixed-use, and office developments. He regularly advises clients on the creation, development, governance, management, and administration of condominiums and other covenant-controlled communities, including master-planned and mixed-use projects.
Mark works with developers, homebuilders, and community stakeholders on the governance and operational issues that arise across the lifecycle of a project—from initial structuring through implementation and long-term administration. His work includes advising on community governance frameworks for property owners associations (HOAs/POAs) and owners associations serving condominium, residential, and mixed-use communities.
He also represents build-for-rent (BFR) and single-family rental (SFR) owners and operators in transaction and governance-related matters, including acquisitions, dispositions, land-banking strategies, governance and control issues, exit-strategy planning, and regulatory compliance. Mark further advises master-planned community developers on planning and integration challenges associated with BFR and SFR projects within and adjacent to new and established communities.
In addition, Mark handles a broad range of commercial real estate transactions, including drafting and negotiating acquisition and disposition agreements, easements, and license agreements.
Before joining Winstead, Mark worked in Washington, D.C. as a legislative aide for U.S. Senator Blanche L. Lincoln of Arkansas. While in law school at the University of Arkansas, he served as a summer clerk in the Office of the Attorney General for the Republic of Palau.
