Transforming a Struggling US Real Estate Company: Scaling Operations and Boosting Revenue by 300% through Innovative Countertrade Mechanisms

Here's What We Do Better

Background
Our client was a US-based real estate company operating primarily in the residential market, targeting middle to high-income families. The company had a strong local presence but faced difficulties scaling operations to expand its market share and reach new customers.
Problem
The client struggled to scale its operations due to limited capital, lack of international expertise, and inability to access new markets. This hindered the company’s growth, resulting in stagnating revenues and a shrinking market share.

We implemented multiple countertrade mechanisms to address the client’s challenges:
Solution #1
Joint Ventures (JVs): We facilitated JV agreements with foreign real estate developers to access new markets and share expertise.
Solution #2
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) and Build-Transfer-Operate (BTO): We helped the client engage in BOT and BTO agreements with local governments and developers in target markets to construct and operate residential projects.
Solution #3
Offsets (Direct and Indirect): We connected the client with local suppliers and service providers in the target markets, enabling direct and indirect offset agreements for cost reduction and market access.
Solution #4
Tolling: We established tolling arrangements with construction and property management companies in new markets to optimize the client’s resources.
Solution #5
Economic Enhancement: We utilized economic enhancement agreements to foster collaboration between the client and local communities in target markets.
Implementation
We worked closely with the client to identify target markets, assess potential partners, and negotiate favorable terms for each countertrade mechanism. We also provided ongoing support to ensure successful implementation and risk mitigation.
