The Challenge


  • Complexity of transaction structure
  • Tight timelines

The vendor’s SOE background necessitated a public bidding process, which caused some uncertainty during the transaction.

Meanwhile, potential investors required sufficient market information and professional advice to make an evaluation of the property within the vendor’s required timeframe.

The Strategy

With Colliers’ in-depth understanding of the Shanghai office market and subject asset, detailed materials were prepared to aid investors in the evaluation process.

Colliers was also able to assist the vendor in understanding the background and financial standing of potential investors, providing the information they needed to choose the appropriate counterparty.

The Solution

Colliers’ advice allowed the acquirers to prepare an internal investment report that helped them make key decisions and participate in the public bidding process.

Colliers also maintained good relationships with both the vendor and acquirer, which ensured the entire negotiation process was conducted smoothly.

The Result

The acquirer succeeded in purchasing the property at the desired price and within the vendor’s time frame. Further, the vendor was happy to sell the property to our client given their strong reputation.
