Unlocking Value in your Government-leased Real Estate Portfolio

Achieving wealth in your government real estate portfolio doesn’t just happen. It is achieved by partnering with people with solid credentials and extensive experience in identifying opportunities, winning procurements, anticipating problems, ensuring lease renewals, and keeping your clients aware of evolving trends, rules, and regulations.

You must develop a strategic plan, devise an in‐depth market analysis, determine if joint venturing is the best option and if dream‐team assemblage is a better approach. In the current climate, lease structuring and tenant improvements must be maximized as well as due diligence and proposal development, but that’s just the beginning. Successful investing means knowing how to deal with consolidations, space relinquishments, lease extensions, holdovers, mandated footprint reductions, early terminations and other contingencies, and all the while keeping abreast and in the loop of fluctuating capital markets, OMB directives, executive orders, legislative initiatives, scoring issues, and security requirements. 

Landing government tenants is one thing; retaining them upon lease expiration is another. Your selected asset manager should keep you apprised of workplace trends in everything from space utilization and furnishings, to energy conservation and high‐efficiency equipment, greening and sustainability. We do all this for institutional and individual investors, both domestic and international, seeking to acquire properties currently leased to agencies of the Federal government, and for investors seeking surplus properties no longer needed by the government with great potential for adaptive re‐use. 

Lastly, you need someone who will provide expertise and support in strategic planning, demand forecasting, portfolio risk, and other aspects of government real estate requiring high‐level quantitative analysis. This helps provides the necessary evidence that shows investors’ valuation methods used when they make GSA building transactions and will help them understand market practices on how investors trade GSA properties and realize price appreciation in spite of long-term flat rent payment.
