Real Estate Strategy

→ How we can help


Technological transformation and the evolution of generational profiles have been the main drivers of market evolution and have put organisations’ corporate strategy to the test.

A company's value proposition must be supported by an efficient Real Estate portfolio, oriented towards effectively responding to these drivers and enhancing the differentiating factors of the business.

We help align the real estate portfolio with strategic ambitions, transforming the offices and other facilities into a business accelerator and a critical success factor for the building and implementation of the capabilities system in the organisation.

Future of Work Integrated Strategy

  • We help companies in defining the future vision for work and the office in an integrated approach, aligned with corporate objectives. Our methodology is based on a strategic component, which will be an aggregating element of various dimensions – workforce, workplace (physical and digital) and real estate – with a view to boosting performance, optimising operations, and retaining talent. To this end, we build a flexible and adaptable approach to the individual needs of each organisation.

Asset portfolio analysis and optimisation

  • We support organisations in surveying their Real Estate assets (offices, commercial spaces and/or logistics infrastructure), making a diagnosis based on aspects such as location, asset quality, cost structure and strategic potential, in order to optimise the portfolio.
