Discover Corporate Real Estate
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.
Spaces matter.
Corporate real estate professionals have strategic responsibility for billions of square feet of property globally from acquisition through development and disposition. They are charged with anticipating and responding to their corporations’ space needs as a result of business growth, expansion or contraction. And yet, the profession is about so much more than real estate.
Places matter.
Corporate real estate is the real property used by non-real estate companies for their own business purposes. Think about it: Every corporation needs a place to conduct its business. Places for employees to work. Places for research and development. Places for manufacturing or distribution. Corporate real estate professionals drive location strategy, occupancy planning, portfolio management, space optimization, and workplace innovation to support business goals.
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 enables diverse talent attraction and retention, fosters flexibility and collaboration, encourages health and wellness, promotes sustainability, improves worker security and safety, and reduces business continuity risks. Corporate real estate professionals and the experiences they create play a vital role in advancing an organization’s mission and strategy.
