Real estate monetization

In recent years, many companies have been reconsidering their real estate strategies. In many cases, monetizing your real estate assets is either part of an effort to unlock shareholder value in existing assets or to provide growth capital. Increasingly, activist investors are driving these pressures.

Across a variety of industries, many companies with significant real estate portfolios are seeking to monetize their existing real estate assets through certain types of transactions. These include nonrecourse financing, sale-leaseback transactions, REIT conversions and spin-offs.

With a proven track record in these transactions, PwC can help answer critical questions about real estate monetization, such as:

  • How do we assess the future role of real estate in our strategic plans?
  • How can we determine the best way to capture value from our real estate holdings?
  • How can we respond to shareholder activists who may be raising this issue?
  • How do we address the impact of the recent news on IRS rulings and congressional action in our real estate strategy discussions?
