Abstract: This research investigates the valuation impact of the formation of a Corporate Real Estate Unit (CREU) on the stock price of the parent organization. Using standard event study methodology, the empirical tests show that the formation of a CREU, in general, is associated with positive gains to shareholders. The largest gains are associated with the publicly traded subsidiaries. The next largest gains are associated with the Master Limited Partnerships and the wholly owned subsidiaries.
