Case Study: Transwestern builds an evergreen real estate platform with RCLCO

Transwestern pivots to a third-party services business after RCLCO strategy-led downturn in the mid '80s

Transwestern, a real estate company, faced a significant challenge when the real estate market collapsed in the mid-1980s, forcing it to move away from its core development business. The company engaged RCLCO Real Estate Consulting to lead a strategic planning process to navigate this transition.

RCLCO guided Transwestern through a strategic shift, resulting in its transition into a third-party services business known as Transwestern Commercial Services LLC. This new entity focused on management, leasing, and investment sales. The successful implementation of this new strategy by RCLCO allowed Transwestern to evolve into one of the largest privately held real estate operating companies in the United States.
