Commercial Real Estate Portfolio
Optimizing your portfolio of buildings benefits employees, shareholders and your bottom line.
Buildings that work operate efficiently while providing quality environments for employees and customers. But an entire real estate portfolio that works supports the business strategy, enhances the bottom line and increases shareholder value. Johnson Controls’ Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) group works with customers all over the world to achieve these results and benefits. GWS manages more than 1.3 billion square feet of real estate for Fortune 1000 companies in more than 75 countries and ensures that business customers have exactly the right kind and amount of space they need, in the right places, at the right time, at the right cost – and that their spaces work cost-effectively and sustainably. Your real estate portfolio can work this way for you.
We’ll help you develop a real estate strategy aligned with your business goals. We’ll gather information on each of your locations and leases. Using the capabilities of the Sequentra® real estate database management system and our Global WorkPlace Knowledge Center, we can provide you with greater visibility into your real estate portfolio – what you have, where you have it, how it’s used, and what it costs to lease and operate — so you can make well-informed decisions on what locations to keep and how to make the best use of them.
We’ll help you identify opportunities to consolidate facilities and dispose of excess properties so that you can reduce your real estate footprint and costs. By knowing well ahead of time when your leases are due to expire, you can become proactive and obtain better rates when you want to renew, or avoid penalties when you choose to vacate.
Your workplaces provide opportunities to make big contributions to your company’s bottom line. By focusing on the entire real estate lifecycle, then applying the right expertise where and when needed, we’ll make certain that your workplaces positively contribute to your performance. Put simply, that means improved financial performance, lower risk and enhanced image and reputation, to generate more shareholder value.
GWS will partner with your facilities managers and staff to reduce costs and operate more efficiently. By deploying state-of-the-art equipment, systems and controls, you can minimize energy consumption and costs and maximize comfort. Through the implementation of renewable energy solutions, you can make your buildings cleaner, greener and more sustainable. We will work with you to make those improvements happen, and we’ll help you design workplaces that use space more efficiently for the number of people actually working there, while eliminating excess space and operating costs. Your corporate real estate portfolio can work for you to lower costs, improve profitability, enhance your corporate image, and build shareholder value.
