Property Type

Special objects

One point of contact for all your operational and a-typical real estate issues. No longer considered alternative, operational real estate (OPRE) is a firmly established sector, with unique drivers.

An alternative type of real estate.

A-typical real estate

Refers to properties that do not fall within the traditional categories. This can be real estate that is unique, historic, or has a special status. Atypical real estate can also be real estate that is operationally inactive or not used for its original purpose, such as a former factory or an old school. In a repurposing, the property type is given a new function and can be characterized as a special object.

Operational real estate

A form of real estate that is used for the operational activities of a company, such as production locations, R&D facilities, infrastructure, greenhouses and even amusement parks. It is characterized by a critical degree that the real estate contributes to the company's mission ("mission critical").

Focus on niche markets
