Strategic Planning

CresaPartners supports your real estate decision-making by formulating scenario-based methodologies that identify highly productive and cost-effective real estate solutions. Our strategic planning advisors first work to fully understand your business, its operating model, and the workplace environment, allowing real estate strategies to be identified and evaluated in the context of your market and competitive landscape. We then apply these insights to deliver personalized solutions, ensuring your organization can realize a perfect outcome.

That is The Tenant’s Advantage.

Analyze Current Situation

To help move your business forward, CresaPartners needs to understand your business. First, we analyze things as they are, from current workspace, occupancy costs, risks, and location, to control and flexibility. Our process is grounded in a best practice, decision-support approach, and we work with you to:

  • Establish the project charter so everyone has the same view of where we are starting and a shared vision of the outcome
  • Assemble strategic internal team to assure access to information and authority
  • Understand the synergies between business and real estate needs
  • Define the site selection criteria for real estate based on the results of a needs analysis and competitive market review
  • Critique the existing workplace for efficiency and utilization
  • Set budget criteria for cash and book, both up-front and over time
