The Overlooked Risk Hiding in Your Lease Portfolio
Managing commercial real estate isn’t just a matter of tracking square footage and due dates — it’s a matter of strategy. Whether your organization has a single office or dozens of locations across the country, the operational, financial, and strategic stakes tied to your real estate decisions have never been higher.
Today’s office landscape is in flux. Hybrid work has shifted space utilization norms. Flexible work models and tenant-favorable market conditions have opened up opportunity — but also complexity. Layer in evolving accounting standards, and it’s easy to see how even a well-resourced team can lose sight of key details.
Of course, these details matter. A missed lease renewal option, for example, might lead to a significant rent increase. That increase could cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars over a single lease term — and for companies managing multiple offices, the stakes multiply quickly.
At CBIZ Gibraltar, we help companies avoid those oversights — and capitalize on the opportunities hidden in their real estate portfolios.
Gibraltar’s portfolio management provides single-source accountability, addressing critical elements related to all current, potential and future transactions — above and below the surface.
Our experts analyze entire portfolios to uncover opportunities for efficiency, cost reduction, and stronger market leverage — whether across a few offices or dozens of locations nationwide.
This includes proactively tracking relevant factors related to clients’ facilities, monitoring of lease terms, space utilization trends, and space planning to align to help maximize efficiency and reduce occupancy costs. Other elements include:
- In-depth local market analysis, demographic research, and partnerships with top-tier regional experts
- Space programming and office layout planning to improve functionality and reduce excess
- Ongoing portfolio assessments based on occupancy costs, market trends, redundancy, labor, and other key drivers
- Comprehensive lease tracking and data management through an accessible, centralized system
- Lease abstraction for critical data access, financial visibility, and compliance
- Collaboration with architects to define construction standards aligned with modern workplace needs
- Site evaluations across submarkets, including analysis of applicable incentives and economic drivers
