Real estate mogul and D.C. United owner Victor MacFarlane has cut key personnel from his District office in a restructuring move as the legal and financial obstacles mount to a possible soccer stadium on parkland just east of the Anacostia River.

MacFarlane Partners, the San Francisco-based real estate investment firm, has laid off 14 people nationwide as the company returns to its “core investment management business of urban mixed use,” MacFarlane spokeswoman Julie Chase said. Included in the restructuring were two D.C. employees — principal investor Brad Dockser and his administrative assistant.
