Services for Banks

Banks are participants in the commercial property market as both investors/landlords and occupiers of office and retail space. By understanding the distinct requirements in meeting banks’ real estate needs, Forton offers two individual sets of services to banks:

Banks as Investors

As investors in commercial property, banks need to generate reliable returns from their real estate assets. Our company specializes in providing incisive, up-to-date knowledge of the commercial property market; major projects under construction, the quality and quantity of space offered by competitors, prevailing and projected rent levels, new emerging trends and much more. Forton International can deliver Market Research which can inform and help banks make sound real estate decisions.

Regular full-speaking valuation reports are also essential in quantifying the market value of commercial property financed by banks. Our Valuation Reports provide competent and professional assessments. They determine the current market value of a property and provide an opinion on its value over time as an income-producing asset.

Development projects which are applying for financing often require detailed analytical reports and our consultants can provide this in a Feasibility Study. This study will cover the critical factors which have a bearing on the success of a project – location, access and services, potential client base, catchment area analysis, competitor analysis, financial modeling, etc.

As owners of real estate, banks may request a broader based Strategic Report, which analyses the bank’s real estate exposure and advises on the best way to utilize proprietary real estate, restructure problematic assets, and if required, find the best approach to successfully divest. read more...

With numerous buildings in their portfolio and a core business to run, banks have a major task in overseeing the day-to-day operations of every single premises. Forton’s experienced Property Management team provides a full-fledged service encompassing facility management, landlord/tenant relations, property administration, financial services, accountancy and insurance services.

As owners of real estate, banks may have the requirement to lease space to tenants. Depending on whether it is an office, retail or industrial property, our Office, Retail and Industrial/Logistics Space teams can find the right tenants, manage the lease negotiation process, and ensure that the rental income earned is at the best possible market rate.

Banks as Occupiers

If a bank is expanding its bank branch network, or wishes to optimize, then there may be the decision to request an Occupier Strategy Analysis. This thorough review of branch location performance, competitive positioning and rent analysis will add value in successfully reorganizing the branch network.

With many branch premises across the country, banks as tenants have important and ongoing relationships with landlords. Forton International can support you in this time-consuming task through our Tenant Representation services. We can oversee your current lease contracts, renegotiate and strike new ones when needed.
