Sale Leaseback operational
Real Estate Advisors
SAB Capital’s (“SAB”) Sale-Leaseback Division advises operating companies—those that exist to make products, provide services, and/or administer care. Through our Quality of Leasehold (“QofL”) assessment process, SAB educates companies on how their occupancy is valued across owned and leased properties, how to improve it, and how to use it more effectively. This often reduces fixed costs and unlocks capital to invest in people, processes, and AI that can expand market share and grow income. With over 35 years of combined experience raising over $4 billion, SAB excels in lease monetization solutions that drive enterprise value.
Opportunity Cost of Owning
According to Green Street’s Commercial Property Price Index, US commercial properties appreciated on average 4.50% per year over the last 20 years. Therefore, a $5M investment in a building is expected to take 20 years to double in value.
OWNING VS LEASING
Alternatively, offering a lease on the same building today is likely to unlock the same value. If a $5M investment could be monetized for $11.6M today, how could that capital be utilized to drive profitability of my core products + services and expand market share without relinquishing operating control of the building(s)?
