Brennan Investment Group, a Chicago-based private real estate investment firm, is rolling out a new initiative under its Corporate Real Estate Solutions brand.

Brennan aims to facilitate supply chain reconfigurations and monetize real estate holdings as well as help companies improve supply chain efficiency by purchasing surplus industrial real estate. In addition, it will provide customized build-to-suits and become involved in both long- and short-term sale leasebacks.

The initiative will continue to serve such traditional needs of corporations as sale leasebacks. Robert Vanecko, managing principal and head of Brennan's single-tenant net lease division, has noted a desire to be "asset light" as a key driver among tenants. "This liberates new capital for our tenant and also increases the value of the tenant's operating business," he says. "The presence of private equity firms purchasing operating companies has accelerated the 'asset light' operating model."
