Transactional Strategy & Due Diligence
Today’s evolving real estate market presents investors with a new set of opportunities and challenges when acquiring, disposing of, or holding real estate assets. Decision makers should equip themselves with an in-depth understanding of values, real estate fundamentals and structuring alternatives. Global public and private real estate companies, including owners/developers, REITs, financial institutions, private equity funds, insurance companies, family offices and governments, as well as origination and securitization lenders, can find top expertise in transactional strategy and due diligence.

Business Transformation
The real estate industry is experiencing significant growth, disruption and change: a trend that is likely to continue for years to come. This industry-wide change is forcing real estate investors and owners to reassess their operations with an eye toward increasing efficiency and effectiveness. Once accustomed to managing through manual processes, real estate companies are implementing technologies to improve automation and workflows. At the same time, they are assessing their approach to improve data management and technology, processes, and the structure of their organization.
