Financial decision makers often have many responsibilities. As a result, real estate is commonly treated on a reactive basis, driven by lease expiration or the need for additional space to accommodate head count growth.
When brought in by CFOs to analyze an existing corporate real estate portfolio, we’re often informed that the individuals responsible know little about it. Crucial information such as total square footage occupied, square feet per person and number of lease expirations occurring within the next 24 months is not being properly tracked or monitored.
Valo, a proprietary tech platform at Cresa, can be used to leverage data into actionable business intelligence, offering a consolidated, real-time view of a corporation’s real estate portfolio. Thanks to the ability to pull from multiple data sources, Valo tracks important real estate and occupancy metrics over time, highlights key dates and action items, and creates a centralized, accessible source for ongoing reporting and benchmarking. Using this technology provides financial decision makers with live updates on their portfolio, answers at their fingertips, and the ability to manage real estate from a proactive, knowledgeable standpoint. It also fosters greater transparency and collaboration between teams. Valo is one of several technological solutions that Cresa uses to empower the business leaders we serve.
