Focusing on the non-residential building sector, and addressing both public and private real estate on object, portfolio and area scale levels, this research proceeds from the need to identify:
• Frictions between the current and future supply of real estate and the current and future demand, resulting in an analysis and recommendations for the desirable supply, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
• Thedefinitionandelaborationofrealestateperformancecriteriasuchasutilityvalue,culturalvalue,cost/quality,feasibility,sustainability,futurevalue,fitwithlegislationandsoon.
• Probable, possible and desirable interventions that will create the best possible match between supply and demand.
• Concepts and theories to describe and explain the research domain including the impact on real estate of social, economical and technological trends, and relationships between demand and supply, taking into account the characteristics of individual users, organizations and society as a whole and characteristics of the built environment, on different scale levels.
• Structures for setting up and managing multi-actor decision-making processes for transforming real estate and tools to support the complex decision making processes related to it.

Corporate and public real estate management is the management of a real estate portfolio by aligning the portfolio and related services to the objectives of the organization, the needs of the real estate users and other stakeholders. Corporate real estate refers to the portfolio of private organisations such as banks, insurance companies, retailers, consultingand lawfirms,ICTcompanies, logisticfirms,carassemblingfactories,etc.Publicrealestaterefers totheportfoliosofpublicinstitutionssuchasnationalgovernments,regionalgovernments,non-profitorganisations,municipalities etc. and consists of town halls, courts, education facilities, hospitals, ministeries, warehouses, etc.
Realestatemanagers’tasksincludethedefinitionofperformancecriteriainabriefor ‘programofrequirements’,steering feasibility studies, designing and implementing strategic housing policies, selecting an office concept,searching for an appropriate building, and managing buildings in use. An optimal match between accommodation, organizational objectives, user requirements, goals and objectives of stakeholders such as shareholders and clients, and public opinion may help to increase satisfaction, labour productivity, a positive image and identity, effective and efficientwaysofworking,andreductionoffacilitycosts.
Professionalrealestatemanagementrequiresscientificknowledgeaboutthebestfitbetweenorganizationstructuresand culture, activity patterns, mission statements and company objectives on the one hand and solutions for accommodating people on the other hand, including site selection, building layout, housing concept and interior design. Criteria for a best fit include inter alia business performance, employee and client satisfaction, labourproductivity and facility costs. A complicating factor is the dynamics of society and organizations, whereas buildings areratherstatic.Itoftenoccursthatevenbeforeabuildingisfinishedtheorganizationandprocessesthathavetobe accommodated have changed already drastically. Clients, designers and real estate managers have to cope with many uncertainties. Scenario techniques may help to forecast on future developments.
At Real Estate Management of the Department of Real Estate and Housing these issues are studied particularly in thedomainofoffices,highereducationinstitutes,retailandleisure.Thefocusisonownersandusersofprivateand public real estate and professionals involved in the process of planning, development and management of utilitybuildings.Propertymanagementfromaninvestors’pointofview,aimingtogetprofitfrominvestinginrealestate,isstudiedextensivelyelsewhereandisnofocusobjectiveinDelft.Herethefocusisonrealestateasa‘fifthresource’ i.e. real estate as a facilitator of primary processes, in addition to capital, human resources, information and technology, municipalities, health care and the connection between corporations and cities.
Research questions studied in this sub programme are for example:
• What is the impact of social and economic trends, technological innovations, and organizational changes on demand and supply of buildings?
• Which organizational characteristics should be considered as most important input to briefing, design andmanagement of buildings?
• What is the best match between different organizational structures, cultures and working processes and different building layouts, in general and with respect to particular types of organizations?
• Which tools are available or should be developed in order to support complex decision-making processes to accommodate people?

This research aims at improving the implementability of organisation accommodation strategies through the use of types. This will allow to confront accommodation strategies under design with the implementation environment.
Thefirstmotivetostartthisresearchistheproblemsaccommodationmanagersreportwhen implementing accommodation strategies. Preceding research points out these problems are often related to the content of the accommodation strategy which is not adaptedtothespecific–e.g.organisational-implementationcontext.
Secondly, empirical research into the design and implementation of accommodation strategies is scarce. The present research aims at improving academic and professional knowledge on organisation accommodation strategies, and to link this knowledge to the faculty’s knowledge on typological concepts and methods in design processes.

Corporations and Cities researches the relation between the accommodation of large scale organisations and urban development. The way organisations such as multinationals, governmental institutions and educational facilities fulfil their accommodation needs,influencesthestructureandliveabilityofcities.Viceversa,thevisionandpoliciesofurbanplanners have an important impact on large corporations. Little has been researched or written so far about this obvious interaction. City planners and corporate real estate managers do not meet on a regular basis. This explains why cities continue to propagate the urban mix and corporations still prefer fenced business clusters, isolation and control.
The aim of Corporations and Cities is to productively discuss the cultural, economic and technological determinants needed to realise innovative corporate real estate and urban strategies.

This research project provides universities with a conceptual model and tools to improve campus management, for both strategic and operational questions, connecting orientations ofdifferentstakeholders–policymakers,users,controllersandtechnicalmanagers–andcreating shared responsibility for campus planning, at the same time generating university-wide support for campus decisions.
Stakeholders involved in university real estate make higher demands upon the added value of the campus for the performance of the institution. In this dynamic context,campus management is complicated by the fact that different stakeholders with different expertise, backgrounds and interests rarely oversee all considerations that have to be made by campus managers. They either represent the strategic goals, user demands, resources or the physical aspects of the campus. A successful management requires more focus on creating a sense of shared responsibility. However, present methods and tools areinsufficienttosupportanintegratedapproachtoaccommodatingthecampusofthefuture.
The PhD research of Den Heijer described the current campus and developments that influence the campus of the future (for dissertation, see key publications). By usingtheories of corporate real estate management and by collecting data on Dutch practice and the international context, it resulted in a conceptual model for campus management and tools that connect all four stakeholders concerned with campus management.
Contract research for and with campus planners of all Dutch universities is focusing on designing, testing and re-designing tools. One of the deliverables is a database for newuniversitybuildingsthatwillultimatelygeneratemanagementinformationon–forinstance–currentcoststandardsperspacetypeandspaceusestandards,bothfornewbuildings and as an input for strategic decisions on portfolio level.
How can universities improve strategic campus management, adding value to theuniversity’s performance, conducting which management tasks and using whatinformation and tools?

Managing the university campus can zoom out towards managing the campus within the city or regional setting (PhD research Flavia Curvelo Magdaniel, about knowledge cities) and zoom in on the activities students, employees and visitors on campus and the space types (functions) they require (research Salomé Bentinck). These three levels also reflected in the image above can be subject of MSc research projects, which could answer the following questions:
level university campus – How are other countries managing the university campuses? Make an international benchmark of managing the university campus (in collaboration with Alexandra den Heijer)level knowledge city/region How to accommodate knowledge activities on an urban scale? Make an analysis of Dutch university cities from strategic, financial, functional and physical perspective (in collaboration with Flavia Curvelo)level activities on campus How to support users on campus with a range of campus functions?

Duetoalessstrictlysteeringofrealestatebythegovernmentandnewfinancesystems,health care organisations become more and more responsible for their real estate themselves, resulting in new opportunities but also higher risks. The aim of the present project is to explore theories, tools and best practices of strategic real estate management in the domain of care and cure, in search for empirical evidence and a better understanding of the relationship between real estate performance and organizational performance, from a point of view of different stakeholders. Together with students knowledge is being explored and tested by literature study, interviews with stakeholders, analysis of documents such as strategic accommodation plans, and case studies. This research is linked to a current PhD project by Johan van der Zwart into the impact of “more market and less government” on design and management of hospital buildings.
Research questions• (How) do hospital managers steer on adding value by real estate, what are their
priorities, and why?• What is the impact of real estate interventions on organisational performance from
the perspective of different stakeholders?

The need to change place all the time is highly disturbing.With the long run-lines and difficulty in locating documents, central and digitalarchiving results in a loss of time. Some employees are unable to cope with the pace of change. So what’s true? Do organizational goals and values go hand in hand with user needs and preferences, functionally and psychologically? What are the risks?
Which office concepts and accommodation
characteristics fit best with particular organizational
strategies and users’ needs?

The physical environment, i.e. real estate and other facilities, is perceived as an important means to support employee satisfaction and labour productivity. Yet how will a client or adesigner know if the environmenthas achieved thesegoals? Inorder tobeable toevaluatetheeffectsof(new)officesonorganizationalgoalsanduserneeds,theCentrefor People and Buildings in Delft in collaboration with the Department of Real Estate&Housingdevelopedan instrument for adiagnosticpre-occupancyorpost-occupancyevaluation,theworkingenvironmentdiagnosticWODItoolkit.Thetoolhasbeenbasedon an extensive literature review and has been applied in a number of case studies. The tool provides protocols for interviews with key persons, web-based questionnaires to ask employees about their experiences, observation methods to list the actual use of the environmentandaframeworktochecktheoverallcostsandbenefits.

Proposal:
The Municipality of Rotterdam recently initiated a pilot-project aiming to reduce the vacancy-levelintheRotterdamofficemarket.Thepilot-projectfocusesontransformationofstructurallyvacantofficebuildings,discussingthepossibilitiesandthreatsthatmarketpartiesencounterwhen transforming buildings for new use. The pilot-project agreement was signed by the municipality and 20 market parties, mainly developers. The Veldacademie has been approached bythemunicipalitytostudythetransformationpotentialofseveralofficebuildings.Unlikeothermarkets, Rotterdam has a high level of vacancy in and near the city centre, like in the area Wijnhaven,betweenthelargerstreetsBlaakandBoompjes.Themunicipalityseesthevacancyin these areas as problematic, because of the prominent location in the city centre and the negative effect that obsolescence seems to have on the value-development in the area.
Research method, technique and tactics:
Case studies ex-ante is an important part of this research. The studies should focus on the financialfeasibilityoftransformations,andshouldalsoincludefunctional,technical,aesthetic,legal and sustainability issues. Finally, the research could delve into the possibilities for improving thetransformationpotentialofofficebuildingsbyinterviewingdevelopersoractorsthatcouldinfluencethetransformationpotentialonamacroscale,likeinvestorsandmunicipalities.

During the design process possible inadequacies in the brief are dealt with in a direct dialog between the client and the architect. However, building processes change due to the turbulent real estate market. More and more shareholders and stakeholders are involved. A huge variety of aspects need attention, such as flexible andmultifunctional use, sustainability issues and lifecycle costs.Overallthebuildingprocessgetsmorecomplex.Inordertomanagethecomplexityandtobeable to control the building costs and quality, a brief can no longer be a static list or a one to one dialog.Ithastobeadynamicandtransparentdocumentforallpartiesinvolved.Asaresulttheformandfunctionofthebriefisgraduallychanging.Briefinganddesigninggomoreandmorehand in hand, leading to different types of briefs, e.g. an urban brief, strategic brief, project brief,fit-outbriefandfurniturebrief.

Inallmarketsqualityandrevenuesareconsideredtobeconnected.Inthefieldofrealestatethe “quality” of the location is considered an important determining factor for the realised rent levelandassetprice.However,thecharacteristicsofofficepropertythatrelatetotheofficebuilding have received less scientific interest. It is reasonable to assume that not only thequality of the location matters, but also the features and the associated quality level of the officebuildingitself.Theobjectofthisresearchprojectistodeterminetheinfluenceofofficebuildingfeaturesonthewillingnesstopayoftheofficeuser.
Thecurrentsellers’marketcondition,wherebyofficespacesupplyexceedsofficespacedemand,hashighlightedthesignificanceofofficebuildingfeatures.Marketreportsaboutoutdatedofficebuildings,duetothelocationortheofficebuilding,havefurtherincreasedtheawarenessfortheimportanceofofficebuildingfeatures.Anofficebuildingcanbecomeobsolete,andremainvacant, because its features do notmeet current occupiers’ requirements. In less extremecases,occupiersderivelessutilityfromtheofficebuildingandarewillingtopayless.However,whatarethemainfeaturesoftheofficebuildingthatdeterminethewillingnesstopay,whatistheirrelativeweightandhowdothesefeaturesrelatetothebuildingcosts?InJanuary2005aPhD-research project has started to answer the previous questions.
The individual featuresofofficebuildingsarenot traded independentlyon themarket.Twoprincipal methodologies exist for determining the willingness to pay for products (or integral product features) that are not traded on the market; the revealed preference approach and the stated preference approach. Hedonic price models, a revealed preference method, have been widelyutilisedtodeterminethepriceof individualofficefeatures.Variousstatedpreferencemethods have also been applied to the real estate market. Stated and revealed preference methods have their advantages and disadvantages; a combination of both methods is applied during this research project.

First, it enables developers to establish arelationshipbetweendesigndecisionsand thefinancialperformanceofofficeproperty.Thisenablesdeveloperstorelate investments inthequalityoftheofficebuildingtothefinancialperformance of the property. Second, it increases the transparency of the real estate market for office space users. Consequently, it provides qualitative asset selection criteria for theinvestment portfolio of investors. To conclude, it enables assessment of the quality of the existingofficestockandfacilitatesofficestockpolicythatfullyutilizesthepotentialofexistingofficestock,whichisbeneficialforspatialplanning.
What are the main features of the office building that determine the willingness to pay, what is their relative weight and how do these features relate to the building costs?
