The Real Estate Lifecycle

On July 18, 2007, NRF launched the inaugural Real Estate Lifecycle: Trends and Analysis survey.  This study will aim to learn how retailers are managing their real estate challenges in order to achieve revenue outcomes, control costs, and facilitate regulatory compliance.  The complete real estate lifecycle, from market planning through site selection and construction to lease administration and facilities management, will be examined.

Research Premise
Because of the rapid escalation in real estate costs and transaction volumes, every store opening, every remodel, and every renewal decision has a greater potential to impact revenue and expense.  The study will look at what metrics are guiding decisions and identify best practices, with the goal of helping our members assess their current processes and identify opportunities for business performance improvement. 

NRF has retained AMR Research as an independent research partner.  AMR Research is the No. 1 research firm focused on the intersection of business processes with value chain and enterprise technologies.

If you are interested in learning more about this survey or would like to be added to the distribution list, please contact Rachel Ryan.  All responses will be kept confidential and respondents will receive a custom cut of the data comparing their company’s response to the larger population.
