Portfolio Management
The Challenge
- Fortune 500 telecommunication company needed a corporate real estate service provider to manage a 1.5+ million square foot real estate portfolio.
- The real estate portfolio included offices, data centers, technical sites, towers, land sites, service centers, and call center facilities.
- Needed to reduce real estate costs across the portfolio through restructuring, rightsizing, and disposition.
The Solution
- Negotiate all new and renewing office locations including corporate, sales, operations, and parts warehouse.
- Negotiate all material network and data center leases, including switch sites, colocation spaces, and license agreements. Consistently achieved cost savings of 12%-30+% across all locations, including completing 250+ mission-critical facilities.
The Result
- Completed projects in over 250 submarkets nationwide, generating negotiated cost savings of 17%-35%+.
- Integration of over 20 mergers and acquisitions, including developing consolidation scenarios due to overlapping markets for each new acquisition.
- Assisted with the $3 billion sale-leaseback and spin-off of certain telecommunications assets to a new separately-owned REIT.
- Implemented new sales office standard layouts that cut overall space sizes from 4,500 square feet to 2,750 square feet.
