Rethinking – maximising the value of your property portfolio in 3 simple steps

Our Rethinking service is a multi-disciplinary solution to help you Assess, Analyse, and Action plans to enhance your Assets that are no longer fit for purpose due to economic, environmental, and workplace strategy changes.  


Strategic Portfolio Assessment for Risk Mitigation

We specialize in both individual asset optimization and comprehensive portfolio reviews tailored to the unique needs of commercial property investors in the EMEA region. Our obsolescence risk assessment focuses on region-specific challenges, including shifting economic conditions, evolving sustainability mandates, and market-specific demand fluctuations. By addressing these specific risks head-on, we empower you to make informed decisions that lead to long-term success in the EMEA region.

Targeted Asset-Level Review for Performance Enhancement

For individual assets, we conduct an in-depth assessment of current performance, utilizing qualitative and quantitative scoring against industry benchmarks. Our approach helps us identify critical areas for improvement, forming the foundation for further analysis and strategic planning.

We understand that every property investment is unique. That's why we tailor scenario-based solutions to ensure optimal outcomes for your assets. Our approach involves carefully analysing various scenarios, from maintaining the status quo ("do nothing") to meeting minimum standards such as ESG compliance, considering light refurbishment, or even a comprehensive refurbishment, including a change of use. 

Each scenario is accompanied by detailed cost estimates and delivery time frames, providing a clear roadmap to enhance your property's value and position it for success.
