Studley’s national Corporate Services Group (CSG) integrates the disciplines of corporate finance, corporate real estate, and management consulting to deliver value to corporations and partnerships that can be legitimately measured in terms of earnings per share and per partner profits. We achieve unconventional results because we first seek to understand our clients’ most important metrics of performance and the degree to which their real estate commitments affect them. Then, we focus our efforts on developing, negotiating, and implementing innovative real estate solutions that promise to optimize these metrics.

Although we tailor our efforts to address specific client priorities, we are often asked to address the following questions:

  • What opportunities exist to increase free cash flow, enhance balance sheet efficiencies, and improve book earnings by restructuring existing real estate obligations?

  • How can operating leases be structured to optimize a particular metric or set of metrics (EPS, NOI, EBITDA, etc.)?

  • How can the interplay between capitalization rates, interest rates, spreads, and construction costs be used to create leverage and drive advantageous market arbitrage strategies for tenants?

  • How might various credit structures (Credit Tenant Leases, 467 Leases, etc.) be employed to shatter traditional real estate market economics?

  • What are the best ways to structure transactions to hedge real estate market and interest rate risks in light of strategic business uncertainties?

  • What opportunities exist to arbitrage owner and user interests during negotiations with various ownership entities?

  • How can non-earning assets be most effectively monetized to yield maximum deployable capital?

  • How can various facility consolidation, functional centralization, and workplace optimization strategies impact productivity and expenses associated with operations?

  • In what ways can a company optimize balance sheet and income statement impacts of real estate through the purchase accounting process?

Our quantitative, analytical approach to real estate strategy and negotiation does not appeal to everyone. But it has been embraced by financially sophisticated, outcome-oriented entities who appreciate its unique value and benefit from its results.
