5 keys to leveraging corporate real estate during M&A
Is your corporate real estate team ready to mobilize for a merger or acquisition?
Financial services M&A is poised for a comeback. More than 60% of financial services organizations identify M&A among their top-three growth strategies, according to JLL’s Future of Work research.
If a merger or acquisition is on your institution’s radar, equipping your corporate real estate (CRE) function to proactively mobilize quickly is critical for accelerating synergy outcomes. Without the right tools, skills and expertise, the CRE team may miss opportunities to reduce costs and realize more value, more quickly
No company can afford to leave value on the table in a merger or acquisition. As a top-three expense for most financial service companies, CRE is too significant to ignore. In fact, the CRE portfolio integration can become a critical factor that makes or breaks the success of the deal.
Often an afterthought in M&A, CRE has the potential to punch above its weight. With a proactive well-rounded CRE team, you can accelerate integration of facilities, workplace technologies and organizational cultures, realize efficiencies quickly and deliver on investor expectations for M&A synergy savings and value.
