NAREIM:
9:10am Attendee IntroductionsTo help facilitate connections, each attendee will be invited to briefly introduce themselves by stating their name and firm.
9:15am Deep Dive Into Expense StrategiesTwo member case studies will demonstrate how each firm is driving cost efficiencies at both the corporate and property levels. From outsourcing design and construction to consolidating insurance and marketing services, they’ll unpack practical strategies behind achieving up to 15% year-over-year savings. Attendees will gain insight into balancing scale and flexibility, navigating third-party relationships, lean operating models, and market-specific challenges across diverse real estate portfolios.
Session Leaders:
10:15am Break
10:30am From Systems to Strategy: How Real Estate Firms Are Using Technology TodayThis session will explore how real estate investment and asset management teams are approaching technology adoption beyond core systems, including analytics, portfolio tools, and AI adoption. We’ll compare what firms mandate versus leave flexible, across property managers, LP/GP structures, and ownership types, and discuss whether technology is supported by dedicated internal resources or driven organically by teams.
11:30am Break
11:45am Buy, Hold, Sell: The Nuts and Bolts of AnalysisIn a fluid market where it is increasingly difficult to deliver consistent outperformance, asset level hold or sell decisions have meaningful portfolio consequences. This interactive session will examine the internal processes, approval frameworks, and key metrics firms use to evaluate whether to recycle capital or continue to hold, including a redacted sample analysis for peer discussion. Attendees will walk away with practical ideas and alternative analytical lenses to strengthen the recommendations they bring forward within their organizations.
12:45pm Lunch
1:45pm Role Clarity: Structuring an Asset Management DepartmentAs asset management platforms scale and evolve, firms continue to grapple with role clarity, team structure, and accountability. This interactive session explores how organizations are structuring asset management teams, defining responsibilities across the investment lifecycle, and allocating resources across asset types and markets. Through peer discussion and live polling, participants will benchmark approaches, surface trade‑offs, and leave with practical perspectives to assess whether their current structure is fit for purpose.
2:45pm Break
3:00pm Constructive Tension: Strengthening Alignment Between Acquisitions & Asset ManagementHow do firms intentionally cultivate constructive tension between acquisitions, operations, and asset management teams to drive stronger investment performance? We’ll examine how structured feedback loops, from underwriting assumptions to in-year operating results, create accountability and sharpen decision-making across the deal lifecycle. Attendees will discuss whether and how their companies implement these processes, how often they meet, who leads the conversation, what the meetings cover and, most importantly, how they translate insights into measurable improvements.
4:00pm Meeting Adjourns
