Commercial Positioning of the Asset
We define the way your asset is perceived in the market, to increase its competitiveness, attractiveness and relevance to the right tenants and investors.
Commercial positioning is not a description of the building, but a strategic decision about the exact place it occupies in the market. Part of Landlord Services, we define the target segment, the value proposition and the differentiators that turn a generic asset into an offer that tenants and investors choose deliberately.
What it involves
We start from an analysis of real demand in the asset’s submarket and of the comparable supply, to establish where the building stands against its direct competition and what tenant profile it can attract at full potential. We then build a clear positioning proposal — the target segment, the defensible rent level, the user mix and the commercial message — which we test against historical absorption and the area’s development plans. We translate this positioning into concrete arguments for marketing materials, leasing discussions and investor reporting, so that all channels communicate the same value. The result is an asset defined not by square metres, but by the role it plays in the leasing or acquisition decision.
Common situations
Commercial positioning becomes a priority when the market’s perception does not reflect the asset’s real potential.
- A recently completed or renovated asset entering a crowded submarket and needing a clear differentiator.
- A building with occupancy below potential, where the asking rent does not match the market’s current perception.
- A change of use or tenant profile that requires redefining the target audience.
- Preparing the asset for a transaction, where positioning must support the valuation in front of investors.
- A portfolio with several similar assets competing with each other and needing distinct positionings.
- An inconsistent commercial message across marketing materials, the leasing team and shareholder reporting.
