Our service philosophy starts with gaining an in-depth understanding of a client’s motives and priorities in taking real estate decisions. On this basis we ensure transparency of all ratios and financials. We define and realise cost reduction targets to unburden the client’s profit and loss account. We advise our clients on the integration of acquired companies. Our experts support consolidation initiatives in defined geographic conurbations and expansions within Germany or abroad, including in emerging markets. Other tasks include the generation of additional liquidity and ensuring smooth operational processes.

 

Corporate governance and compliance have become important issues for an increasing number of companies. We devise mandatory internal processes for real estate decisions and ensure that all actions taken are properly recorded and stand up to audits.

 

Our Corporate Solutions team offers customised solutions for corporate real estate across the entire property value chain – from the provision of space or properties, to their day-to-day management and their eventual disposal. Our Corporate Solutions experts are often called in ahead of M&A transactions to offer professional advice on proposed transactions, e.g. relating to opportunities within a real estate portfolio and improvements of the existing corporate real estate organisation.

 

Our services can be used in integrated or modular form. They essentially cover the following activities, which are provided partly in conjunction with other specialised departments of Jones Lang LaSalle:

• New lettings/leases and renewals
• Sales of individual properties and portfolios
• Sale & Lease/Rentback
• Forward Sale & Lease/Rentback
• Purchases and sales of land
• Portfolio analyses (rented and owned portfolios)
• Portfolio strategies
• Reviews and management of rental agreements
• Sublettings
• Lease terminations
• Advice on usage and development concepts for corporate locations
• Project management for new construction, conversions, extensions and demolition projects
• Implementation of space usage concepts down to the workplace level (working spheres)
• Appraisals and price estimates for individual properties or portfolios
• Advice on the introduction or optimisation of CREM organisations.

 

Many real estate managers on the client side manage international property portfolios from a central location. Corporate Solutions provides each client with a defined contact who organises all worldwide tasks and mandates pertaining to the above listed services and ensures that they are fulfilled to the defined levels of quality. Our clients benefit from coordinated communication routines, report formats and processes. Available both for individual projects and under exclusive master agreements, our services save time and give corporate real estate managers additional room to manoeuvre.

At the bottom line, Corporate Solutions combines two areas of expertise that are key to success – expertise in real estate markets and process expertise. Both are derived from our global market presence, our employees’ interdisciplinary expertise, our competence in terms of advanced methodologies and our thorough understanding of client needs, no matter whether it is office, retail, warehouse, logistics or industrial properties. Our Corporate Solutions team is the first port of call for real estate related tasks faced by companies whose core business is not in real estate.
