Case study: ABN-AMRO's real estate consolidation

Article Abstract:

The concentration of ABN-AMRO Bank's real estate properties required the change from a construction-oriented to a business-oriented management.

Corporate downsizing: subleasing and buyouts

Article Abstract:

Downsizing leaves a company with excess office space that can be very difficult to dispose of in markets characterized by 15% to 20% vacancy rates. The options that are open to firms considering real property liquidation are subleases and buyouts. Careful financial analyses must be done to determine the risks involved in such liquidation moves. The advantages and drawbacks of different options must also be studied carefully to reduce financial risks for the company.
