corporate real estate and tenant representation

Corporate Real Estate

Corporate real estate (CRE) is the real property held or used by a business enterprise or organisation for its own operational purposes.

Lion, Sydney

Our Independence

In an industry rich in conflict and well told untruths, PCG stands proudly independent of the supply sides of the property and construction sectors, and unlike our associates within global real estate agencies, we exclusively act for demand side parties, comprising the tenant and occupier community.

Financial Acumen

We level the playing field for our clients when conducting transactions with supply side proponents and bring market knowledge and insight unequalled across all sectors of the national property market. The team’s capability to analyse, illustrate, and communicate complex financial comparisons is a key differentiator. 

Simplicity of Process

Our methodology is one which is informed by a deep understanding of CRE and the disciplines to enable informed decision making. Best in class Property, Design, and Project Management skills are the enablers and PCG has invested in such so that you can benefit from our proven methodology. 

The sectors we work in

We work with all businesses from start-ups to large corporations across private and public sectors.

Strategic Advisory

Drawing upon our experience and in-house skills, we will work with you to divine and recommend strategies to mitigate risk and exceed the commercial, economic, environmental, and operational objectives.

Tenant Representation

PCG are workplace and property experts with a deep understanding of how the alignment of property and business objectives can positively contribute to business success.

valeant new workspace

A brand new workplace Valeant (iNova Pharmaceuticals)

The Brief.

PCG assisted in the restructure of iNova through the divestiture of freehold property, acquisition of new leasehold property and the creation of a new workplace which would enable the business to operate more effectively and productively.

The Strategy.

PCG’s CRE professionals achieved a timely divestiture of the freehold manufacturing site, which included agency management, the marketing campaign and negotiations with the purchaser. PCG’s team also envisioned the new workplace with the key stakeholders, briefed the market negotiated lease terms and designed and project managed a new high-performance workplace.

The Result.

“The compelling proposition PCG offered was their independence and end-to-end capacity, whilst we are experts in pharmaceutical manufacturing and marketing we know little about property, design, and project management. We imposed a number of very tight time lines on PCG and despite the unfortunate market conditions and some occurrences outside their control, PCG delivered everything we wanted on time and the staff and management are exceedingly happy.”
