Looking for advice on my job
I am the Real Estate Portfolio manager for a large manufacturing corporation ($6bn market cap)... "Corporate Real Estate" they call it

We have ~65 locations around the world, most of which we lease.  Offices, manufacturing/R&amp;D facilities.  Basically I handle all of our lease renewals (negotiate with our landlords, redline leases, etc), spend a lot of time auditing leases for ad-hoc purposes, and all facility related matters.

In the new year I want to go above and beyond more at my job than I was able to last year but am having trouble coming up with ideas on how to do that...

Off the top of your head, what are some things you think I could do that would be of value to the company and worth my time?  Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks for your responses y'all!  A lot of good stuff to think about. Much appreciated.

The increase can always be renegotiated at that time in 20 years if its above market.\n\nMake sure management know the crazy run up in industrial rents that most areas of the country have seen and that the demand for e-commerce distribution centers make that trend unlikely to slow down. And of course that these terms you're negotiating now may become critical in many years when you might otherwise be priced out of the facility you're in, or pushed out for redevelopment.\n\nMaybe put together a business plan showing the increases industrial rents have experienced, your broker should be able to provide that info, and how if the trend continues at this pace rents will be prohibitive for a lot of businesses long term. Then at the end of the year show how you executed on the plan.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "feiz36s", "text": "CAM rec audits to generate expense savings?
