A new solution for the real estate and inventory challenges facing retailers

The challenges facing retailers today have never been more demanding, but the resources to help just got a whole lot better.

In 2019 two of the industry’s most trusted partners developed an alliance to help you manage today’s challenges. JLL and Gordon Brothers joined forces to provide retailers with the best combination of expertise to strategically assess and optimize retailers’ assets. By solving real estate, inventory and brand challenges retailers are able to focus on what is critically important: servicing their customers.  In today’s COVID-19 climate those challenges are unprecedented, and we have thought leadership, research and strategists to assist you.

 

Working seamlessly together, this alliance brings retailers a combined service offering that helps retailers address their portfolio challenges holistically and strategically. This is a comprehensive and customized approach, combining portfolio analysis and advisory services; lease mitigation, termination, and restructurings; property management; fee-owned property sales; valuations; asset dispositions; brand licensing and conversions; customer migration; financing; location scouting; site analytics; retail research; PinPoint technology and predictive analytics. If the situation demands, there is no better resource to assist a retailer in transforming its business, at any point in the business cycle.
