GrayRobinson is pleased to announce that Shareholder Mike Tomkiewicz presented “Valuation of Leasehold Interests in Apportionment: Examining Anchor Tenant Methodology that Replaces Market Data with Size and Scale” at the 29th Annual Florida Eminent Domain Conference. The conference brought together attorneys, appraisers, and real estate professionals from across Florida to discuss emerging trends and challenges in eminent-domain law.
In his presentation, Mike critically evaluated proposed valuation approaches that substitutes anchor-tenant size and scale for traditional market-derived data in assessing leasehold interests. He explained why market evidence remains the foundation of credible valuation, highlighted the analytical and legal deficiencies in methodologies that attempt to bypass it, and demonstrated how such approaches can lead to unsupported or unreliable conclusions in apportionment. Mike also outlined best practices for ensuring that leasehold valuations remain transparent, data-driven, and defensible, even in complex or data-limited cases.
Based in the firm’s Tallahassee office, Mike guides clients through the complex and often lengthy process of eminent-domain takings. His statewide practice spans a broad spectrum of property types and business operations – from undeveloped land to sophisticated commercial interests in urban cores. As Florida continues to grow and expand its infrastructure, Mike’s work emphasizes rigorous valuation analysis and methodologies built to withstand scrutiny in high-stakes condemnation matters.
