Real estate is a strategic asset and each real estate decision must support the mission of the business. Those decisions must further benefit a company’s growth story and shareholder value. Our real estate services to corporate management are based on this conviction.

Effective real estate strategic planning is an essential tool for global corporations as they strive to build competitive advantage, enhance margin and deliver value to shareholders. We help companies develop and deploy financial and real estate strategies to achieve these goals. Our real estate planning consultants draw on a broad array of experience and competencies when developing integrated strategies that align real estate decisions with business objectives. Our value propositions include:

• Portfolio rationalization
• Cost reduction
• Operational support
• Organization and process design
• Branding and image
• Risk management
• Human resources

For a global bank, we developed a portfolio strategy for its North American holdings with a focus on reducing real estate and infrastructure costs, consolidating back office business functions, enhancing the workplace experience and minimizing exposure to real estate market risk.

For a Fortune 500 utility company growing by acquisition, we created a strategy which enabled them to meet the challenge of increasing revenues by greater than 10 percent, while holding real estate occupancy and infrastructure costs.

For a large software developer that had grown organically as well as by acquisition, we constructed a real estate portfolio strategy that focused on managing costs, enhancing customer service, creating productive places to work and increasing brand visibility.
