Eight steps to a strategic plan for corporate real estate and possible portfolio exit strategies

Abstract

Corporations face new imperatives to reduce occupancy costs for both investment and corporate properties and to eliminate redundancies in their holdings. After mergers or acquisitions pressure to ‘rationalise’ the corporate portfolio are even more intense. This paper will explore an Eight Step Strategic Plan to evaluate alternative structures for corporate assets which are no longer contributing to return on equity or which may be considered surplus. It will also recommend a Special Purpose Vehicle to move assets off the corporate balance sheet.
