Renee Covitt, a partner at Holland & Knight LLP, is a trusted advisor for major developers and nonprofit organizations navigating the New York real estate market. Covitt specializes in complex condominium structures and recently oversaw a $300 million mixed-use redevelopment project in Manhattan that required a mid-construction redesign due to zoning changes.

She is currently advising a school on forming a leasehold condominium to secure a real estate tax exemption and manages negotiations for the redevelopment of iconic Manhattan properties. Covitt also serves as the New York Hiring Partner, where she oversees recruitment strategy and lateral hiring for the office.

Her influence on the field is further cemented as the co-editor of the BNA Bloomberg national portfolio on cooperatives and condominiums, a premier resource for practitioners. In 2020, she was selected for the firm’s Rising Star program, a leadership initiative for high-potential attorneys.

She remains a key mentor for associates, helping them build technical skills in a fast-moving development environment. Covitt is recognized for her ability to chart a path forward when project interests must remain aligned under pressure.
