Aligning a location choice with corporate goals eludes many companies. Often, a company begins thinking about specific sites much too early. The benefit of a strong location is not in the form of real estate cost. Instead, it’s driven by:

• Labor, tax and other operating costs
• Recruitment and retention of labor
• Access to critical functions, suppliers or customers
• Visibility and image
• Work environment and culture
• Risk

We have worked with many industries to identify optimal locations for headquarters, manufacturing, distribution, shared services, customer care and other facilities.

Our services include the full range of corporate real estate strategy. Since our practice is not limited to site selection, we provide a better perspective on what makes a strong location. Our business location practice incorporates business location, site selection and incentives analysis and negotiation in an integrated process that ensures a complete assessment of the benefits of a potential location. Our practice consists of dedicated specialists, including, market researchers, demographers, and compensation and human resource specialists working in conjunction with our local market real estate experts to provide a comprehensive approach to identifying and securing the best possible locations for our clients.
