Industrial and Logistics

The Industrial and Logistics sector is the backbone of the modern supply chain, encompassing the properties and infrastructure vital for manufacturing, storage, and distribution. This sector is defined by efficiency and scale, driven by the rise of e-commerce, global trade, and sophisticated automation technology, making facility design and location critical to business success.

Services Include

  • Acquisition and disposal of warehouses and distribution centers (DCs)
  • Valuation and appraisal of manufacturing plants and light industrial units
  • Supply chain consulting and optimization of logistics networks
  • Planning and development advice for large-scale industrial parks
  • Management of complex lease and tenant relationships for multi-site portfolios

Case Study Paragraph

We advised a leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider on the rapid acquisition of a 500,000 sq ft ‘Big Box’ distribution center near a major port. By leveraging advanced site analytics and negotiating a bespoke lease structure, we secured the facility four months ahead of the client’s aggressive timeline, enabling them to onboard a key retail customer and significantly expand their regional operational capacity.

Commercial and Corporate Offices

The Commercial and Corporate Offices sector focuses on the dynamic spaces where businesses operate, ranging from landmark city towers to suburban business parks. With the shift to hybrid work models, this sector is now centered on creating flexible, sustainable, and technology-rich environments that foster collaboration, enhance employee well-being, and drive corporate culture.

Services Include

  • Tenant representation and workplace strategy consulting
  • Acquisition, disposal, and leasing of Grade A and B office spaces
  • Fit-out and project management for new office developments and refurbishments
  • Rent review, lease renewal, and dilapidations negotiations
  • Valuation for financial reporting and corporate merger/acquisition due diligence

Case Study Paragraph

A major tech firm sought to consolidate three older offices into a single, state-of-the-art European headquarters. We provided end-to-end services, identifying a 150,000 sq ft anchor space in a prime location, negotiating a highly favorable 15-year lease, and managing the fit-out to achieve a LEED Platinum certification, successfully reducing their real estate footprint and operating costs by 18%.

Leisure and Hospitality

The Leisure and Hospitality sector covers properties dedicated to recreation, travel, and guest services, including hotels, resorts, and specialized entertainment venues. This segment is highly sensitive to consumer trends and economic cycles, demanding expertise in operational performance, brand value, and unique location analysis to drive high occupancy rates and exceptional guest experiences.

Services Include

  • Hotel asset management and operational performance review
  • Transaction advisory for hotel acquisitions, disposals, and joint ventures
  • Financial restructuring and valuation of branded and independent hotels
  • Feasibility studies for new resort, spa, and entertainment development projects
  • Operator selection, negotiation, and management contract advisory

Case Study Paragraph

We were appointed to manage the sale of a five-star, 350-key city center hotel portfolio on behalf of a private equity fund. Through a targeted international marketing campaign and a competitive bid process, we achieved a sale price 12% above the client’s reserve valuation, securing a premium due to the hotel’s strong brand affiliation and identified upside potential in meeting renovation requirements.

Petrol Stations and Forecourts

The Petrol Stations and Forecourts sector is a specialized asset class that integrates fuel sales with convenience retail (known as “foodvenience”). This sector is undergoing rapid transformation due to the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and alternative fuels, requiring sophisticated analysis of retail margins, site modernization, and the integration of new charging infrastructure.

Services Include

  • Portfolio valuation for major oil companies and independent operators
  • Site acquisition and disposal for new network expansion
  • Feasibility studies for the roll-out of EV charging hubs and alternative fuels
  • Environmental and regulatory compliance due diligence
  • Maximizing non-fuel retail income through convenience store and franchise optimization

Case Study Paragraph

A national fuel retailer planned to future-proof their 80-site network against the EV transition. We provided a strategic portfolio review, identifying 25 core sites ideal for immediate EV hub conversion and advising on the sale of non-core assets to fund the upgrade. This strategy resulted in a 15% lift in non-fuel revenue at the core sites within the first year and provided a clear, profitable roadmap for their green transition.

Public Sector and Education

The Public Sector and Education division supports government agencies, local authorities, healthcare providers, and academic institutions in managing their often-complex and expansive real estate assets. The focus is on maximizing public value, ensuring regulatory compliance, driving social return on investment, and delivering fit-for-purpose buildings for community services, teaching, and research.

Services Include

  • Strategic estate planning and utilization reviews for large portfolios (e.g., hospitals, university campuses)
  • Financial modeling and structuring of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and PFI schemes
  • Valuation for statutory purposes, rate appeals, and asset transfer
  • Master planning and development of new community and academic facilities
  • Building surveying and compliance audit for heritage and specialized public buildings

Case Study Paragraph

We partnered with a major metropolitan university to rationalize their fragmented campus footprint. We executed a phased disposal of underutilized, older buildings and managed the acquisition of a new 5-acre site for a dedicated research park. The project generated $\$45$ million in capital receipts for the university, which was reinvested into a state-of-the-art science faculty building, successfully modernizing their teaching estate without impacting core operational services.

Retail and Leisure

The Retail and Leisure sector covers a broad spectrum of consumer-facing properties, including shopping centers, high-street units, retail parks, and out-of-town leisure schemes. This sector is rapidly evolving due to e-commerce competition, requiring landlords and tenants alike to rethink physical space, creating experiential destinations that blend traditional shopping with entertainment and F&B offerings.

Services Include

  • Lease advisory and occupier cost reduction strategies for national retailers
  • Agency services for the leasing of high-street flagship stores and anchor tenant units
  • Investment sales and acquisition of shopping centers and retail parks
  • Repositioning and asset management strategies for underperforming retail schemes
  • Detailed footfall analysis and demographic studies for new site selection

Case Study Paragraph

A property owner required a solution for a struggling 150,000 sq ft regional shopping center with a high vacancy rate. We implemented a bold repositioning strategy, converting 30% of the vacant retail space into a new family entertainment center and modern dining hall. This strategy attracted two new major leisure tenants, increased footfall by 25%, and stabilized the rental income, culminating in a successful forward-sale to a specialized leisure investment fund.

Public Sector, Education, and UK Defence

The Public Sector, Education, and UK Defence division focuses on managing complex, specialized real estate portfolios for government, academic, and military organizations. This requires expertise in maximizing public value, ensuring high security and regulatory compliance, and delivering fit-for-purpose, adaptable infrastructure for critical services, teaching, research, and national security operations.

Services Include

  • Strategic estate planning and utilization reviews for large portfolios (e.g., military bases, hospitals, university campuses)
  • Advisory on the disposal and rationalization of surplus Defence Estate property
  • Financial modeling and structuring of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) and PFI schemes
  • Specialized security planning and management for high-risk government and Defence sites

Case Study Paragraph

We provided strategic consultancy to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) for the consolidation of multiple smaller bases into a single, modern operational hub. This involved conducting a comprehensive security and feasibility assessment, managing the complex public consultation process, and overseeing the land transfer. The project successfully unlocked over $100$ million in capital receipts from the sale of the surplus land, which was directly reinvested into the new, more efficient defence infrastructure.
