Property Advisory and Project Management

Mid-market companies quite often have significant property investments in their business portfolios. Property assets are typically acquired throughout the business growth cycle to facilitate operational and geographic expansion. Commercial, industrial or retail property is acquired rather than leased by business owners as it is seen as a growth asset over the medium/long term. Property also acts as "bricks & mortar" security for financing business operations and growth.

As business strategies should be motivated by the desire to create, enhance and maximise enterprise value, property assets must be seen in this strategic context. The capital employed in holding property assets must be viewed against the return generated and the alternative uses for this capital. Surplus, underperforming or "lazy" property assets erode enterprise value. Where property assets have a higher and better use or should be owned by investors with lower risk and return investment criteria, value can be unlocked by the sale of these assets. The sale proceeds can then be reinvested in other higher return business opportunities.
