As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic spread to every sector of the US economy, construction contractors, landlords, tenants and borrowers are examining their construction contracts, leases and loan documents for provisions that extend times for covenant performance for delays that result from extraordinary or unforeseeable events, often referred to as “Force Majeure” (from the French, “superior strength”) or “Unavoidable Delays.”

Commercial real estate has been, and will continue to be, deeply impacted by the recent spread of COVID-19. Each time a state implements an Executive Order, real estate developers and general contractors need to take immediate action to evaluate whether jobsites that are under construction constitute essential business that is exempt from the “shelter-in-place” order. Some states will require developers/contractors to file an application for an exemption to continue construction operations. Certain states have imposed deadlines to file those applications, and regardless of whether a deadline applies, it is important to get your application on file due to the volume of submittals being made.
