What we offer
Restructuring and Portfolio Optimization
Complex real estate matters can compromise performance and pose significant challenges to a retail business.
Our Restructuring and Portfolio Optimization practice draws on our long history of fixing and avoiding problems that compromise performance. It may involve working with healthy retailers to implement the best strategy and tactics needed to enhance performance at lower performing locations. Or, it may be helping distressed clients work through the tough decisions needed to deal with turning around a business. Whatever the need, we work tenaciously to unlock the hidden potential within each client's real estate portfolio to optimize retail business performance. Our services include:
Portfolio Assessment – going well beyond the market-based rent valuations we perform to create a comprehensive strategy for every location. These site- and project-specific Real Estate Action Plans incorporate an entrepreneurial perspective and a range of broader industry insights.
Rent Renegotiation – using our unique combination of retail knowledge, real estate expertise and landlord relationships to produce the best results possible for our clients. No other firm equals our experience or track record in this highly complex, relationship-driven niche.
Lease Termination – securing the most favorable lease-termination terms and the best possible value for our clients' business interests. Our extensive landlord relationships greatly enhance our ability to negotiate economically favorable exit strategies for unwanted locations.
Property Disposition – putting surplus real estate to work to generate the maximum value from our client's asset portfolio. Our vast knowledge of the retail real estate market, creativity and resourcefulness enable us to identify third parties that can realize the greatest benefit from surplus real estate- and secure the terms most favorable to our clients.
Purchase Guarantees – providing opportunities to quickly resolve real estate problems with comprehensive and creative solutions that still enable our clients to realize value. We are able to purchase troubled and distressed assets, providing the precise figure our clients need to see the costs and value immediately available to them.
