Abstract

This review paper investigates strategic governance and full-cycle operation practices for commercial real estate assets, focusing on cross-regional control, cost reduction, and value preservation. It synthesizes existing literature and identifies best practices for optimizing asset performance throughout its lifecycle. The study explores governance structures that enable effective management across geographically dispersed locations, strategies for minimizing operational costs, and methods for maintaining and enhancing asset value over time. The review critically assesses the challenges and opportunities associated with these practices, providing insights for real estate professionals and researchers. Furthermore, it identifies areas for future research and innovation in the field of commercial real estate asset management, emphasizing the need for adaptable and sustainable strategies in dynamic market conditions. This review encompasses diverse perspectives, including financial modeling, risk management, and stakeholder engagement, to offer a comprehensive understanding of the full-cycle operation within commercial real estate.
