Any business enterprise ceteris paribus is in it to make profits and minimise losses, save a charity. Hence, the activities and the management of the people are directed towards an end, towards meeting certain goals (Mullin, 1999). However the organisation’s real estate decisions would be plausible if such are geared towards supporting the overall business objectives of the organisation in question. In that regard, objectives could be realised if conscious effort is made to understand how real estate strategy supports corporate strategy and the sub-strategies for component elements of the organisation, then subsequently, how specific real estate operating decisions support the real estate strategy. It is, therefore, imperative that an organisation ensures that its corporate business goals consciously align with its real estate, construction and facilities programme. It is then that the above goals would be realised
