Creating a Real Estate Portfolio Realignment Tool

Challenge

A large federal client asked Guidehouse to help provide a user-friendly solution to support the realignment of a multibillion-dollar real estate portfolio. 

Solution

Guidehouse developed a dynamic interactive dashboard that enables users to simulate, save, and compare realignment scenarios that shift tenants from expensive and expiring leased buildings to owned buildings. Users can view and compare the financial impact of each saved scenario to assist in making data-driven decisions.

The Guidehouse team:

• Facilitated agency-wide collaboration to define the tool business rules, logic, and design.
• Delivered and presented a comprehensive assessment and recommendations of Tableau software extensions to enable solution capabilities.
• Leveraged existing client tools to develop the new tool using an agile approach.

Impact

The Guidehouse-developed dashboard was a low-risk, low-cost solution that will be used by the client to identify potential portfolio realignment opportunities. By taking advantage of space available in owned assets, users can help forecast optimal realignment scenarios, which will reduce future costs and save money.
