Real Estate
We help strengthen real estate funds, REITs and commercial real estate owners and stakeholders amidst macroeconomic and secular shifts impacting the industry.
Globalization of capital, increased competition for assets, emerging technologies and changing customer demographics are requiring real estate funds, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and commercial real estate owners and stakeholders to rethink traditional paths to successful investment. To remain competitive, organizations must explore new structuring options, improve the efficiency of operations and balance portfolios to maximize return on investment (ROI) – all while mastering digital disruption and gaining a deeper understanding of customer preferences.
We work with real estate companies to capitalize on digital innovation and adopt a bolder, more agile approach to navigating this fast-changing market. EY real estate services help you streamline operations, identify and help mitigate risk, and build better customer relationships to help deliver increased ROI and enhanced performance.
