Abstract: Working with over
sixty leading U.S. companies since 1987, LaSalle Partners, an international real estate
services and investment firm, has conducted a series of nine benchmarking studies in a
variety of industries. The studies have examined the real estate practices of participants
and identified best practices leading to superior performance of corporate real estate
portfolios. This paper summarizes the results and findings of those studies, identifies
general and specific benefits of the benchmarking process, and describes key factors for
completing successful benchmarking initiatives.
