Asset Positioning  We help maximize your capital resources by aligning real estate assets to support your organization's capital and operational objectives whether it is through an assessment of your current holdings or through a real estate disposition.

Providing guidance in aligning real estate assets with business objectives

Over time, an organization’s real estate holdings can become misaligned in relation to its capital structure and operating strategies. A number of circumstances may cause this problem: 

• Too many locations 
• Functionally obsolete buildings 
• Underutilized assets 
• Competition for capital 
• Changing demographics 
• Evolving space needs 
• Merger, acquisition or consolidation

Plante Moran CRESA can help you realign your real estate assets through a comprehensive approach that builds on your organization’s goals and plans. We first determine your short- and long-term capital needs. Then we help you assess the value of each asset and identify alternative uses and marketability. Once a conclusion has been reached, we identify and evaluate options, such as real estate asset disposition, re-development, partnership, etc. To implement the decision, we help you develop a strategy to reposition assets and then objectively manage the implementation.
