Real Estate Consulting

Through this uniquely specialized area, we evaluate all viable options available to our clients in order to identify solutions that minimize cost, maximize value and optimize the financial, accounting and tax implications associated with complex real estate transactions, occupier portfolios and development strategies. Expertise is offered in the following three areas:

Transaction Consulting
Working in conjunction with our business consulting and brokerage professionals, we help our clients understand the critical variables that impact the occupancy decision. We provide strategic advice on complex occupier alternatives, which includes detailed and customized analyses of the financial, accounting and tax implications in support of overall strategy development and implementation. Typically, our analysis focuses on pre-tax and after-tax net present-value cash flows, as well as the earnings impacts of various scenarios under GAAP.

Portfolio Consulting
We help occupiers maximize their real estate and align it to their business through the following services:

Portfolio Diagnostic Analysis – Real estate holdings are analyzed using statistical methodologies to uncover imbedded correlations and significant variances. This allows our clients to proactively identify opportunities, such as conducting realistic cost modeling, to maximize the value of their real estate portfolio.

Consolidation – We uncover realistic consolidation opportunities by analyzing market alternatives in support of our clients' vision. Our process includes establishing a baseline cost for all impacted facilities, identifying logical scenarios, assessing the financial impact of each alternative, and a multivariate sensitivity analysis.

M&A Due Diligence – We assist our clients' due diligence activities associated with mergers and acquisitions. Through the use of a best-in-class process, we provide our clients with the peace of mind that all logical steps are met in the exploration of an acquisition target as it pertains to real estate holdings.
