Corporate real estate professionals shape where and how work gets done around the world.

Chances are, you probably never said “I want to be a corporate real estate executive when I grow up.” Discover a dynamic career you likely never knew existed – one that creates the spaces, places and experiences corporations require for business success. When it comes to earning potential, the sky is the limit!

Corporate real estate professionals predict lasting effects of the pandemic on work and workplace.

Spaces matter.

Corporate real estate professionals have strategic responsibility for billions of square feet of property globally from acquisition through development and disposition.

Places matter.

Every corporation needs a place to conduct its business. Places for employees to work. Places for research and development. Places for manufacturing or distribution.

Experiences matter.

The physical spaces and places where work gets done are a vital part of a corporate brand, company culture - and the employee experience.

Corporate real estate professionals manage diverse real estate portfolios in multiple locations. They work in all classes of property, land and buildings, including offices, data centers, manufacturing facilities, logistics centers, corporate headquarters, distribution facilities, retail stores and hotels.

Those who enter the profession are generally not REALTORS®, commercial brokers, developers or facility managers though they enlist or manage these professionals as well as other service providers such as architects, site selection consultants, economic developers, interior designers and the like to help support their overall portfolio operations and strategy.

Most corporate real estate professionals hold undergraduate or graduate degrees. Many have degrees other than real estate. Most training is provided after graduation by a professional association or hiring company.
