This seminar provides the corporate real estate practitioner with the skills, methodology, and tools to enhance the value and manage the risk inherent in any large-scale portfolio. The seminar is based on a sound financial management approach that takes away the alchemy and grounds the approach in well-established corporate finance doctrine.
