which supports our unique “one-firm” coverage for the provision of consistent, integrated global services with a “Client

front-end advisory from subsequent transaction incentives. As a result, our employees act as real estate

■ Proven ability to add value through our experience and knowledge of tenant representation, capital markets and

disposition best practices.

■ Access to market and transactional knowledge/benchmarks both in the local and global markets.

■ Exposure to, and knowledge of, best-in-class organizational and service delivery models.

■ Advisory approach that ensures full market coverage as well as reduced conflicts of interest.

■ Unparalleled track record in assisting companies and institutions to secure real estate in the most efficient

manner by providing combined space planning, transactional and project management services.

Competitive advantages

■ Large-scale project management practice specializes in on-time, on-budget delivery.

■ Lease administration experts deliver cost savings and negotiate leverage.

■ Facilities management reduces operating costs and improves maintenance.

■ Proactive asset management right-sizes occupancy and identifies new cost-saving opportunities.

■ Expertise and relationships allow us to identify opportunities for redevelopment and capital sourcing.

Approach

Result

From 2015 to 2019, HSBC hired JLL to

carry out the valuation of its real estate

assets in Argentina.

The portfolio to appraise consisted of

more than 110 properties including

retail branches and office buildings,

distributed in over 30 cities all around

the country.

We have developed a mass appraisal

model that automates part of the

valuation workflow such as weighting

of attributes, sense–check and

automatic reporting for:

- time optimization

- strong Y-o-Y consistency

- securing the quality on every instance

of the process.

The mass appraisal model made

possible the challenge set by the client

to deliver the reports in two weeks. In

that period, we collected and analyzed

more than 430 comparables properties

covering over 115,000 sq. m.

During 2019, ARG Realty has engaged JLL

for the valuation of its major real estate

assets in Argentina, totalizing over 120,000

sq. m covered areas and 89,000 sq. m

projected areas.

The scope of work included the appraisal

one of the most important shopping

malls in Argentina, Tortugas Open Mall;

a Class-A major office complex named

Centro Empresarial Urbana and a plot of

land for commercial development.

The approach for the calculation of the

capitalization rate was using the formula

based in the Weighted Average Cost of

Capital (WACC) and the expected growth

rate of the market.

Considering a sample of 137 firms we

determined the WACC for the Retail

Industry in emerging countries.

Also, using proprietary GIS technology,

data and methodology we took the

traditional Qualitative Analysis.

The approach strengthened the

appraisal fundamentals as well as

the overall result of the report. Also,

the Client was very pleased with the

outcome of the implementation of GIS

technology for mapping enhancement.

As part of the services we provide to HSBC worldwide, we were required to appraise the

owned portfolio that the bank holds across several provinces in Argentina. From 2015 to 2019,

we helped our client by introducing mass appraisal models and tools which we developed in

order to provide accuracy and consistency year over year.

ARG Realty is a private business group that develops, manages and invests in real estate

-among other sectors- in Latin America. Our client hired us to make the assessment and

appraisal of one of the most important shopping malls in Argentina, Tortugas Open Mall;

a Class-A major office complex named Centro Empresarial Urbana and a plot of land for

commercial development.
