Enabling clients to cultivate greater economic and societal returns in the built environment

Real estate is fundamental to the human experience. It’s where the world spends 90 percent of its time living, working, shopping, and playing. But society’s needs, expectations, and wants of real estate have permanently evolved, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and increasing economic uncertainty.

McKinsey’s Real Estate Practice works with investors, property owners, real estate managers, and the world’s leading organizations who are the primary occupiers and users of space to lean into these disruptions and accelerate sustainable and inclusive growth that benefit the businesses, environments, and communities they serve.

With proprietary technology, global scale, and local expertise, we are uniquely equipped to embolden clients to embrace disruption, pioneer innovation, and shape a new future for themselves and for the industry.
