Asset Management

For over 40 years, real estate investors have come to LaSalle because they understand that the real value of a building does not come simply from owning it, but from actively managing and improving it.

LaSalle’s asset managers make both proactive decisions to ensure an asset’s full potential is realized, as well as reactive decisions to changing market conditions. Many have specific areas of expertise and are specialists both in their sector and local markets. Throughout the lifecycle of any investment, the team is actively involved, working closely with both portfolio managers and the investors who own the building.

Also embedded within the team is a dedicated team of individuals who ensure LaSalle policies and procedures are adhered to for the benefit of everyone who has a stake in an asset, from the community at large to the tenants, their employees and customers, right through to the investors and their beneficiaries.

Construction and project management

Asset managers make capital recommendations to preserve the value of assets. They also evaluate the feasibility of any proposed projects to enhance the value of assets. Should a project proceed, asset managers have primary responsibility for managing it through to completion.

Leasing

Managing the leasing process from initial inquiry through to negotiation and agreement of lease terms is a key asset management function. In some cases, this may include arrangements such as sale and leaseback.
