Corporate Real Estate

A unique snapshot of corporate real estate trends.

For 14 years, Johnson Controls has tracked the management practices of professionals with responsibility for managing corporate real estate (CRE) portfolios around the globe.

The survey results provide insight into how CRE practices have changed and evolved in response to both external opportunities and internal pressures. Our partners, The University of Reading Business School and CoreNet, collaborate to attract participants worldwide.

The survey has identified the following trends:

Minimising property portfolio operating expenses is an increasing priority - from 16% in 1999 to 70% in 2003
The need to reduce the size of portfolios increased from 5% in 1999 to 30% in 2003
Emerging policies such as disaster recovery plans and 'teleworking' have now become fully embedded into corporate real estate management

This industry benchmark is making a valuable contribution to help today's property decision makers. Contact Dr. Marie Puybaraud to find out how you can participate in the next Corporate Real Estate Survey.
