Retail Apocalypse Affecting Commercial Real Estate Market

If you've read the news lately, there will soon be a lot of available real estate.  Why? Because the retail landscape is changing, and leaving a lot of excess 'capacity'.  That means there are going to be a lot of corporate real estate managers who wish they had a system to manage these assets.  

That leads to the question - just what functional and technical requirements should a commercial real estate management software meet?  

 

Broadly speaking, there are 8 functionality areas any commercial real estate software must provide.

If you're preparing an RFP for commercial real estate, then you will want to cover these areas:

 

  • Real Property & Lease Management

  • Space Management

  • Furniture & Equipment Management

  • Project Management

  • Strategic Master Planning

  • Capital Budgeting Management

  • Overlay with Design Management for AutoCAD and Revit or other types of design software

  • Hoteling Applications
