Real Estate Advisory Services for Private Equity Firms and Portfolio Companies

Real Estate Advisory Services Companies and Healthcare Systems We work with public and private companies, owner/operators and healthcare systems by advising them on their real estate needs, which can include monetization, growth via Build-to-Suit, and lease advisory services.

Private Equity The Corporate Finance Group works with private equity firms on existing portfolio companies and acquisition targets focusing on Sale Leaseback and Build-to-Suit transactions.

We help our private equity clients drive returns by advising them on real estate monetization alternatives from the initial due diligence process to the eventual exit of their portfolio companies.

Strategic Portfolio Evaluation Our Corporate Finance Group helps private equity firms and their portfolio companies, and healthcare systems think more strategically about their real estate. We work with firms to evaluate their existing real estate portfolios by: •

Determining which properties may be good candidates for sale leasebacks

•

Evaluating expansion & build-to-suit options •

•

Securing 100% financing for build-tosuit needs

Developing mitigation strategies where applicable for properties at risk of obsolescence

Leveraged Buyouts/ Mergers & Acquisitions Sale Leasebacks We often find a value arbitrage between the real estate and underlying business valuation while evaluating real estate for a sale leaseback.

Early Involvement •

We get involved early in M&A-driven situations in order to provide an assessment of real estate valuation during the initial bidding process

•

Enables private equity firms to understand value attributable to a sale leaseback in context of the overall business valuation

Timing - One of Two Scenarios •

Concurrent – We work to identify a buyer who can close on the real estate concurrent with our clients’ close on the business acquisition

•

Post-closing – We work to identify a buyer for the real estate after the close of add-on or new platform acquisitions
