Repurposing and Economic Assessments

The necessity for adaptability in real estate is underscored by both its economic significance and environmental impact. In this shifting landscape, our teams can help to futureproof our client’s assets, ensuring resilience to market volatility as well as legal and regulatory change.

Meanwhile, evolving work patterns and changes in the way offices and high streets are used create significant opportunities. We advise on retrofits and transitions to alternative uses, integrating insights from planning, capital markets, valuation and building consultancy.

Proactively addressing depreciating assets can facilitate the repurposing process and generate opportunities. For example, we craft bespoke strategies to ensure that repurposing transpires throughout a building's life cycle and is aligned with evolving market dynamics for sustainable long-term cash flows. We also advise on viable refurbishment, redevelopment, or change-of-use opportunities.

In a planning environment where best practice is often ahead of policy and guidance, we help clients balance the demand for high sustainability standards with commercial realities. Our goal is to ensure that clients make informed decisions that enhance the value of their assets and that we deliver relevance against a backdrop of rapid global changes.

Declining assets present risks, yet through strategic guidance and deep market insights, we identify opportunities. As developers and tenants increasingly look to decarbonise, we can advise on policies and market shifts and help navigate uncertainties in the planning system.
