A team of attorneys from Ballard Spahr assisted client CGA Capital Corporation in closing a highly structured, lease-backed financing that paved the way for construction of a $4.76 billion manufacturing facility that will produce the non-nuclear components for nuclear weapons. "This project was remarkable in both size and scope," said Fred Wolf III, a Baltimore-based partner in Ballard Spahr's Real Estate Department who led the legal team. "There were a lot of players involved. We were fortunate to have represented a very good conductor, who kept everyone singing in tune." The deal was one of the largest U.S. General Services Administration projects in history.
