How Our Experts Help

At Colliers’ Portfolio Strategy Consulting, we combine a

customized approach that starts with a clear understanding of
the business problem you are trying to solve. We follow with
the most important ways you build and maintain competitive
advantage, and how those advantages are supported by the real
estate footprint and the workplace.

Colliers recognizes that many real estate decisions
require support that go far beyond real estate
economics. While solutions must be cost effective,
it is paramount that they support your people
and your operations in the best way possible.
With our proven platform of rigorous analytics
tools, powered by Colliers360, we work with you
to assess opportunities and risks, forecast future
requirements, quantify returns, and communicate
strategic options.
Corporate real estate and facility investments
are the longest-range commitments most
organizations make. They require a view
assimilating the company’s future competitive
demands that go well beyond the typical business
forecasting horizon. Corporate footprints are
greatly impacted by the increased demands of
the skilled workforce for flexibility, challenge, and
meaning, by customer demand for speed and
customization, and the continual transformation of
technology tools, big data and the cloud.
Our services and tools encompass a wide range
of value-added activities. At the beginning of
each client engagement, we develop a customized
scope of work that will achieve multiple objectives
depending upon your requirements. Our ambition
is to not only help you solve immediate challenges,
but to help you build internal processes and
organizational capabilities so that you and your
colleagues become an even stronger contributor to
your company’s success.
