Real Estate Development

Corporate Portfolio Strategy

The competition for talent is hotter than ever. Can you retain key employees by optimizing your workplace?

· Find the balance between the acquisition of high-quality space and the disposition of underutilized assets.

· Define the value that comes from a smart workplace strategy and understand why making no decision is still a decision.

· Engage key stakeholders to understand the organizations’ current state, assess key metrics (e.g., engagement, retention, emissions, etc.), and identify priorities, gaps, and opportunities.

· Implement evidence-based strategies at the site- or portfolio-level to increase satisfaction &productivity, reduce attrition, and align organizational culture with business goals.

Existing Buildings

Reposition your commercial and residential assets in response to new market dynamics, preventing obsolescence as building stock ages.

· Understand current building performance and risk potential through auditing, retro-commissioning, and/or real-time monitoring.

· Conduct detailed engineering and cost-benefit analyses of building equipment, energy systems, and envelope to pinpoint and prioritize specific operational and capital solutions.

· Develop an actionable roadmap to increase asset value while considering capital limitations, and implement this optimized strategy.

· On an ongoing basis, verify savings, measure impact, and manage compliance submissions.

Design & Construction

Help your investment pencil out by embedding sustainability into the entire process, from conceptual design to monitoring & verification.

· Consider which combination of design strategies is optimal through energy modeling and building performance simulations.

· Assess design for feasibility and constructability to minimize potential change orders, and identify opportunities related to operational and budget risks.

· Secure green financing (e.g., state & federal incentives, rebates, tax credits) to combat the rising cost of capital and improve your capital stack.

· Pursue certifications to be recognized for setting the bar high, such as Passive House, LEED, WELL, and the Living Building Challenge.
