What is CORPORATE REAL ESTATE?
Corporate real estate is the real property used by a
company for its own operational purposes. It provides corporations with
a productive environment to house employees, manufacture and distribute
products and provide services to the market. Corporate real estate
touches all classes of property, land and buildings such as office
facilities, data centers, manufacturing facilities, logistic centers,
corporate headquarters, distribution facilities, retail stores and
hotels.
What’s the role of a corporate real estate executive?
Corporate real estate executive members (end users/occupiers) who
belong to CoreNet Global have strategic responsibility for their
corporations’ total real estate footprint of owned and leased space.
They are charged with anticipating and responding to a corporation’s
property needs as a result of business growth, expansion or contraction.
They are employed by a diverse mix of industries including high-tech,
financial services, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, telecommunications,
healthcare, insurance and oil and gas. They generally manage portfolios
with millions of square feet property spanning multiple continents.
Virtually all corporate real estate departments partner with external
service provider companies to deliver services needed to acquire,
maintain and dispose of real estate. A broad range of corporate services
are required to support the corporate real estate function, including
but not limited to brokerage, site selection, architecture and interior
design, lease administration, facilities management and technology
platforms. Service providers along with economic developers also
comprise a significant portion of the association’s membership.
