Build-to-suit - is it for you?

Article Abstract:

Companies that opt for custom-built office buildings must allot more time and strategic planning in the process. A project team must be formed while an expert real estate counselor must be hired to ensure the building's optimum efficiency. Companies can select among three common methods for conducting a custom-built facility, including sale-leaseback transaction. They must also weigh the major factors governing the financial aspect of a custom-built structure, such tenants' credit ratings and period of lease. They can also organize leases to meet specific requirements.

Corporate real estate at a crossroads

Article Abstract:

The Fourth Corporate Real Estate Leadership Forum sponsored by Jones Lang Wootton on Nov 19, 1998, in Armonk, NY, focused on the need for innovativeness in office building design and layout. Corporate real estate executives have to be able to convince chief executives on their knowledgeability of how a business unit functions through their proposed work space designs. They have to imbibe the mission of the company and create an environment that would tap employees' talents and enhance productivity.
