In 1996, one of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers hired Occupier Account Services (OAS) to provide guidance on its first global corporate real estate program. The client portfolio consisted of multiple product types (industrial, office, retail, land, apartments & highly specialized , etc.), spanned 6 continents, and contained approximately 110 M global square feet. OAS developed a toolkit of standardized processes, reports, and deliverables that were used consistently on all projects around the world and established metrics to evaluate and track both site and portfolio performance.
For 27 years, OAS has maintained its focus on providing scalable, specialized resources to occupier account clients. Its tools, methodologies and technology solutions have been refined countless times and have evolved into market leading solutions. Today, OAS delivers its services through the expertly trained hands of more than 30 corporate real estate specialists. Average tenures across the OAS team are in excess of 7 years, and serve as a testament to the quality of the OAS culture.
