Align real estate to business objectives
Real estate is a long term asset class which is more capital intensive than most other corporate assets.
We believe that you need to mobilize your static bricks in the face of today’s uncertain markets, supporting your business goals and providing you flexibility and cash opportunities.
Our international expertise and knowledge of local real estate markets guarantee that you are able to free up to 15% of your real estate costs by challenging leases, ownership, facility management and operating models. Our out-of-the-box thinking helped Heineken, ING SREM, Arcelor, and DSM to identify hidden real estate opportunities and refocus on core activities.
What is Real estate RE-balanced?
It’s a new way of looking at your corporate real estate, not as a necessary expense but as a contributor to business. Real estate is not only about costs but also about cash opportunities. Working together, we gain insight in your portfolio in terms of core, non-core and surplus assets, enabling you to take the right strategic real estate decisions for your business. We provide you cost optimization opportunities in terms of re-negotiation of lease agreements.
We analyse your facility management, evaluating if it is supporting your properties in the most effective manner and checking if bundling and outsourcing are viable options. We scan your real estate operation model to check if it is a barrier or enabler to efficiency.
Our Approach
Based on extensive experience with corporates we have developed a corporate real estate framework with which we are able to challenge your portfolio and operation model in 2 to 3 weeks. Together we determine your real estate value adding principles in order to categorize your portfolio and address solutions like, straight sale, sale & leasebacks, redevelopment, re-finance and tax structuring. We will hold stakeholder interviews, assess contractual agreements, benchmark your real estate to best practices and provide you with the implementation roadmap for execution.
