Where can we unlock value in your real estate?

Area I

Real Estate Strategy

A real estate strategy that fits the company is more than the sum of individual assets. We analyse the real estate holdings within the corporate group, identify needs, optimisation levers and non-operational space — and develop an economically and operationally coherent strategy. The aim is to use real estate as a deliberate value lever and to make investment, hold and disposal decisions along a clear logic.

CHALLENGES

SBCF & Cie.
understands the challenges.  

“There is a lot of capital tied up in our real estate — how can we release it without giving up the location?”

“We want to sell, but we do not know what the property is truly worth — or who it would be the right fit for.”

“Our company would be sellable, but the real estate is always the issue. How do we solve this?”

“We have space we no longer need. Who would even buy something like that?”

“Sale-and-leaseback sounds interesting — but we do not want to maneuver ourselves into a bad contract.”

“In the sale process of our company, the property keeps becoming a sticking point. Who can advise us on this?”

“Banks or investors are reviewing our real estate — but we do not have robust documentation for it.”

“We have closed a business unit, and the related property is now partly vacant — what should we do?”

ROLE SBCF & Cie.

SBCF & Cie. at your side.

We support owners, corporates and investors across the entire lifecycle of their real estate — always from an entrepreneurial perspective.

The starting point is often a real estate strategy that places the property portfolio within the broader corporate context and makes value levers visible. On this basis, we manage operational real estate transactions — from single assets to portfolios — as well as sale-and-leaseback solutions that release liquidity without putting operations at risk.

Where existing leasing structures have become problematic, we support their adjustment, restructuring or constructive termination. And wherever M&A or restructuring processes intersect with real estate matters, we contribute our real estate expertise as a targeted module within the broader transaction.

In addition to full mandate support, focused individual solutions can also be commissioned.

Q&A | Frequently Asked Questions

No. The first conversation is non-binding and free of charge. We get to know your situation, assess the need for action and show you where value levers may exist within your real estate holdings.
We look at real estate from an entrepreneurial perspective — as part of an overall strategy, not as an isolated asset. Our strength lies in combining real estate expertise with M&A, corporate finance and restructuring know-how. We do not simply sell; we structure — and we also advise you when a sale is ultimately not the right solution.
Both. We support individual assets — such as operational properties, non-operational space or industrial sites — as well as complete real estate portfolios. The decisive factor is the strategic and economic context, not the size of the transaction.
Confidentiality is our highest priority. Investor outreach is conducted discreetly and in a controlled manner, so that employees, competitors or the market are informed only when you decide. This is particularly important for operational properties or site relocations.
No. Many mandates begin with a focused module — such as a real estate valuation, a strategy analysis or a sale-and-leaseback review. On this basis, you decide together with us which next steps make sense.
