Corporate Only Roundtable

Scaling a Corporate Real Estate Team

Scaling a corporate real estate (CRE) team requires more than adding headcount—it requires thoughtful leadership, clear role design, and the ability to evolve team structures as portfolios grow. In this peer-driven webinar, corporate end users from small, mid-size, and large industrial organizations will share how they have built and scaled their CRE teams to support business growth and changing operational needs.

Through candid discussion, speakers will compare approaches to building internal capacity, leveraging external partners, and evolving roles as portfolios expand. Panelists will share real-world lessons learned, what has worked, what hasn’t, and key inflection points that drive team changes, providing attendees with practical insights and benchmarks to help plan for scalable, resilient CRE operations.

This joint webinar is presented with PILLAR, IAMC’s new professional education program, which emphasizes leadership as a core competency for industrial corporate real estate professionals tasked with shaping teams, guiding strategy, and supporting long-term portfolio performance.
