The purpose of this study is to identify the ways enterprise use their commercial real-estate property for their decision-making processes regarding relocation, and how, under internal and external economic conditions, relevant factors such property attributes, financial terms, location, leasing and purchasing options are taken into consideration to formulate and assess different investment proposals to filter out the optimal relocation solution for the business. The study targeted cases of headquarter relocations involving some of the most famous companies, and investigated how factors including economic viability (internal and external) property attributes, and return expectations are taken into consideration when choosing between such decision-impacting factors as: "Whole building lease" or "Partial lease," "Outright purchase" or "Lease before purchase," and "Timing of purchase." The study adopted cash-flow analysis coupled with the asset management and the highest-and-best-use (HABU) principle to choose between leasing solutions that offer better economic viability, and "financial analysis" coupled with "real estate valuation" to determine the reasonable price of commercial real estate. After a series of analyses, the study discovered that "Attributes of the economic environment," "Attributes of property," and "Investment performance" are all possible factors influencing company's decision when relocating or investing in commercial real estates. Also, "the entire lease" program that offer the best "Ownership title" and "Asset management value" were selected with priority. |
