Our Expertise

Asset & Property Management

Asset Management

At Oryx REIM, we combine our real estate expertise and know-how to support clients in their real estate strategy. Our goal is to optimize the performance of their portfolios through dynamic asset management.
From analyzing asset potential to implementing projects, we offer integrated or outsourced solutions, covering all real estate, financial, legal, and tax aspects of an operation:

Portfolio structuring and valuation
Optimization of profitability for one or more assets
Commercial lease negotiation
Rationalization of building expenses

Using decision-making tools, Oryx REIM defines tailored arbitration criteria and participates in strategy definition. We then leverage our skills and expertise to successfully execute each assigned mission.

Property Management

Understanding that each client has different strategies, Oryx REIM deploys solutions tailored to office, logistics, retail, and even residential markets. Whether for short, medium or long-term strategies, for national or international investment funds, OPCI or listed companies, we offer customized support.

A personalized monthly or quarterly reporting is developed according to each mandator’s specific needs.

Our absence of national coverage is compensated by the rigorous selection of the best local partners. This allows us to optimize rental flows and technical maintenance of properties, thus guaranteeing our clients’ interests, tenant satisfaction, and the sustainability of assets under management.

Brokerage

Oryx REIM assists owners with their arbitration strategy, whether it involves the sale or acquisition of assets or portfolios. We work with French and international investors to identify investment opportunities or optimize disposals on their behalf.

Our experience and expertise provide us with an in-depth knowledge of real estate markets, coupled with a proven ability to handle operations of all sizes and complexities across offices, retail, industrial premises, logistics platforms, and residential buildings. Oryx REIM is also committed to putting its market analysis into perspective to anticipate market changes and ensure the quality of its recommendations.

We support our institutional and private clients at all stages of sale and/or acquisition operations, whether:

As a portfolio, in bulk, by lots, or individually
Commercial or residential real estate
Primarily in France or Europe
With owners or investors

The sale process is organized into three steps:

Upstream: Market and product studies, commercial strategy definition, provisional financial balance sheet.
Sale Preparation: Handling all or part of preliminary steps (e.g., co-ownership setup, Carrez law measurements, energy and environmental diagnostics, legal and commercial recommendations).
Sale Phase: Execution of all commercial actions, from tenant meetings to the sale of the last unit.

To provide clients with privileged access to foreign markets and international investment opportunities, Oryx REIM leverages FIABCI. This network comprises 100 professional real estate associations and 1.5 million real estate professionals across more than 60 countries, giving Oryx REIM the capacity to operate internationally.

Financial Advisory

Oryx REIM assesses the resources required and the viability of real estate acquisition projects. Concurrently, we analyze optimal legal and tax structures for these operations.
We prepare several essential financial documents:

The acquisition financing plan (on the acquisition date), which details the sources and uses of funds for the operation.
The provisional income statement (for the envisaged holding period) to determine the self-financing capacity (cash flow from operations) of the held assets.
The provisional financing plan (for the envisaged holding period) or cash flow statement, which highlights financing needs and the calculation of the return on investment (IRR).

Oryx REIM and the acquirer can thus evaluate:

The necessary equity (personal funds, fund capital, etc.).
The contemplated loans (mezzanine debt, junior debt, senior debt, etc.).
The envisaged sale price (based on assumptions and anticipations).
The cost of the development plan (relocation, restructuring, etc.).

We also prepare a quarterly cash flow plan that highlights the balance or imbalance between cash inflows and outflows, and we propose necessary solutions when required. Leveraging our financial expertise, Oryx REIM provides two levels of intervention:

Equity support for real estate operators to form investor syndicates (individuals or legal entities).
Negotiation with financial institutions for the best financial conditions to optimize and secure real estate asset or portfolio acquisition operations.

Occupier Workplace Advisory

As advisors to occupiers, Oryx REIM optimizes a company’s real estate resources. We participate in developing an action plan aligned with the company’s strategic vision.

We offer a solution that integrates the implementation of chosen recommendations, operating in full independence from real estate service providers. Oryx REIM thus positions itself as a dedicated, conflict-free real estate advisor, committed to exclusively defending the interests of the occupier, our client.

Oryx REIM’s mission also involves placing workplace performance at the core of business efficiency. Our added value lies in our ability to approach real estate challenges within a comprehensive patrimonial, human, and financial context.

Given our modest size, Oryx REIM offers efficient and discreet adaptability to project constraints and the specific requirements of each client.

Management Advisory

Oryx REIM’s mission involves:

Supporting international clients in organizing their development in France, particularly regarding administrative, financial, legal, tax, and human resources aspects.
Assisting management in their relationships with financial shareholders, market players, and all stakeholders necessary for their business development.

Oryx REIM aims to develop three primary areas of expertise:

Delegated administrative and financial management on a shared-time basis.
Development of investment and asset management activities (financial audit, financial due diligence, valuations, etc.).
Operational assistance in financial and real estate engineering (acquisitions, disposals, restructuring, business plans, etc.).

Some references…

Corporate Finance

Leveraging its expertise and experience in financial engineering, Oryx REIM confidentially, independently, and without any conflict of interest, studies the future of real estate specialists, whether as service providers or asset owners.

Oryx REIM primarily intervenes in four ways:

Acquisition of structures, particularly on behalf of dedicated private equity funds.
Sale of companies in direct relation with the executive(s), following a thorough and exhaustive analysis of the business.
Business rapprochement that makes financial and strategic sense, within the framework of merger and acquisition operations.
Support for development capital operations for young companies seeking equity and leverage.
