Hold / Sell / Exit strategy

Finding the conditions
for an exit.

An office asset with difficult comparables required an exit strategy that accounted for timing, market conditions and uncertainty.

Asset
Class B+ office
Market
Major metropolitan market
Scale
Approx. 1M leasable SF
Decision
Hold / sell & exit timing
Client objective

Assess when market and property conditions could support an exit.

What the work established

A potential exit depended on the relationship between leasing, market cycles and timing.

Decision supported

A conditional exit framework for comparing timing and valuation.

01 / Client question

What needed answering?

A single exit value could not explain when a defensible capital market opportunity might emerge. The client needed to evaluate how the subject asset related to broader market cycles and potential re-entry conditions.

02 / Evidence

Separate property and market conditions.

The work examined office transaction evidence alongside vacancy, leasing and asset characteristics. Market comparisons helped distinguish conditions at the subject property from those operating at the submarket and metro levels.

Transaction prices and submarket vacancy were examined together as part of the exit analysis.Pricing and submarket vacancy from the original transaction analysis. Original plotted observations traced for presentation. Submarket names and highlighting omitted.
03 / Analysis

Connect leasing, pricing and timing.

The analysis worked across metro stability, submarket cycles, tenant drivers, capital market conditions and comparable market timing. Those layers were mapped back to the subject asset to examine possible exit pathways.

Leasing conditions helped frame the circumstances supporting a potential exit.Leasing and transaction evidence used to examine the subject asset's position. Original engagement exhibit.
04 / Decision & outcome

What changed?

An exit framework with a range of outcomes.

The work assessed potential exit timing across modeled outcomes and the conditions supporting them. The resulting framework gave the client a way to discuss timing and valuation together.

The engagement delivered a modeled exit strategy, with timing and valuation assessed together.
