Neil has considerable experience in advising owners, investors, lenders and other stakeholder on how to enhance the value of real estate—often where real estate is a significant component of a business enterprise or a key enabler of the business, or important to maximizing the overall value for the stakeholders. This work requires a sound understanding of the normal business enterprise, and how real estate can best support its operations, operating profitability and capital appreciation.
