Real Estate

To make long-term strategic decisions about your business, you need to have transparency to real estate costs, and knowledge and control around your real estate portfolio. Whether you own and/or lease your real estate, striking the right balance between ownership and leasing is a critical element in aligning a real estate strategy with your organization's business plan and objectives.

BLJC's core background in providing functionally integrated real estate services allows us to deploy an experienced team to take an overarching look at your real estate portfolio, and design an integrated solution that optimizes the management of your real estate, controls quality, and reduces costs and cycle time in the future. Our technology platform links everything from facility management to project management, portfolio management and transaction management, so that your view of occupancy costs and asset utilization extends across your entire portfolio.

BLJC will be the advocate for your occupancy needs and, through disciplined processes, help you find the right space, at the right time, in the right place, at the right cost. Because you can see more, you can make the right decisions to do more.

Here are the main areas of BLJC's real estate offering:

Lease Administration

BLJC's Lease Administration team will use our centralized approach to optimize the management of your portfolio data. Our Web-based RealLease software provides an efficient way to make all rental payments, resolve billing and payment discrepancies, manage and track lease documentation, and provide full reporting packages. At the same time, it gives you a real-time look at your day-to-day costs and requirements. This is managed across your entire portfolio, giving you visibility into all of your data in one platform. When integrated with other BLJC offerings, RealLease becomes the hub of centralized data, and turns these raw numbers into knowledge that will drive and influence your portfolio decision-making.

Lease Audit

As you move forward with any portfolio optimization strategy, you must have an accurate picture of where you stand with respect to your leases. Are your operating expenses and realty tax charges appropriate, or are you being overcharged for them? Are there terms of your leases that could assist or hinder you financially? BLJC's lease audit services can uncover this. BLJC begins with a complete audit of lease documents and landlord billings to reveal any overcharges, find cost savings, and identify critical dates. Onerous financial terms can be targetted for proactive negotiation during lease renewals. Using standard benchmarking techniques and a proven process, BLJC can also pinpoint the areas to detect and correct overcharges to ensure your real estate interests are protected.

Transaction Management

With a focus on portfolio optimization, BLJC will review your real estate portfolio to identify cost savings and ensure that you are making the best use of your assets. Our tightly integrated, team approach to real estate management creates a partnership and we are advocates for your interests in real estate negotiations – focusing on tenant-oriented goals. The same integration and process-driven efficiencies that BLJC uses to drive down your operating costs can also reduce transaction costs.
