U.S.
Equities' Real Estate Consulting
Services Group provides diverse
services to office space users
nationwide. Services are performed
on both a transaction as well
as on a strategic alliance
basis. For a transaction client,
the full range of consulting
services is provided, including
market research, site/building
tours, request for proposal
drafting and delivery, preparation
of analyses and comparisons
of financial terms of proposals,
building systems (HVAC, mechanical,
electrical, plumbing), transaction
negotiations, letters of intent,
drafting and negotiations,
lease and transaction negotiations
and a host of other, ongoing
administrative services.
On
a national basis, U.S. Equities
has sought and acquired long-term
relationships with a select
group of clients who share
several traits. These clients
have in-house real estate
expertise but have chosen
to outsource work for all
or significant parts of their
facilities portfolios. They
recognize that a consulting
firm such as U.S. Equities
will supplement their expertise
and add value to their bottom
line. They also recognize
that careful, strategic planning
can affect the profitability
of their organization in a
direct and positive way.
With
such clients, U.S. Equities
has established alliances
that encompass not only the
short-term objectives of a
given transaction, but also
address the area of long-range
planning and strategic asset
management. In addition to
providing the services previously
described for each specific
transaction, U.S. Equities
helps develop short and long-term
strategies, which ultimately
meet the needs of the entire
network of space users within
a company while assessing
how real estate affects long-range
organizational objectives.
U.S. Equities also helps to
develop formats to centralize,
gather and organize facilities
data and implement appropriate
administrative controls; create
databases; design programs
to assess the current use
of space and ways to reduce
space utilization and costs;
anticipate and then later
manage the transaction process
for acquiring and disposing
of office space, refine and
streamline responsibilities
on an ongoing basis; monitor
and review operating expenses
and real estate tax escalations;
and assist in achieving global
corporate missions by the
enlightened use and management
of real estate assets and
obligations.
Sustainability
In addition, U.S. Equities provides clients with sustainability consulting for commercial, institutional and residential properties. The team performs cost-benefit analyses for a comprehensive set of environmental and repositioning initiatives, including LEED certification.
