Our Real Estate
Team is dedicated to value-creating, comprehensive service that
meets the evolving and sophisticated needs of clients.
We aim not only to offer value
in single real estate projects of significance but also to design
solutions that have a major impact on returns on investment
and on the quality of results obtained.
Real Estate Facts
Real estate,
including plant and equipment, often constitutes the largest
capital expenditure of a company. It also comprises one
of the largest components of operating expense. The aggressive
management of property and facilities presents opportunities
for both savings and competitive advantage.
Real estate is also a strategic
and financial factor in business and personal planning.
Most diversified portfolios have a heavy real estate component.
Yet businesses and individuals often treat real estate projects
on a reactive basis. Because property and construction are
often outside a client’s business, there is a need
to provide a base of experience that could contribute to
a stable of solutions and best practices for real estate
projects. The JLG Real Estate Group is designed to provide
those best practices.
For many companies, real
estate receives senior management focus largely as an adjunct
to merger and acquisition or corporate secured finance activity.
But the vast majority of real estate projects within major
companies arise between mergers and acquisitions or corporate
finance events. We believes that substantial value can be
brought to the real estate process for every sale or purchase,
major or routine lease, plant construction or expansion,
or other asset activity.

fees, transactional expenses, or time and opportunity.
We add value through identification of opportunities available
in the market and through a better understanding of the
goals and risk preferences of the client at the outset.
-
