During the 1980s, we built our reputation on tenacious transaction negotiations. To meet increasing client needs for an integrated approach to real estate management, UGL Equis broadened its capabilities to include strategic as well as transactional services. Today, UGL Equis offerings encompass strategic planning, portfolio management, corporate finance, project services, workplace integration, data management and audit & recovery functions.

In July 2006, UGL Equis was acquired by diversified services and infrastructure company United Group Limited, creating a global corporate real estate firm exclusively dedicated to the occupiers of space. Together, United Group and UGL Equis will provide corporate real estate services through 3,300 staff across more than 13 countries.

Our vision is to be a trusted partner of leading organizations by providing services that transform corporate real estate to create distinct competitive advantages. Our mission is to align real estate to business strategies, providing uncompromising client representation and integrated service delivery.

UGL Equis applies its integrated approach to a wide variety of domestic and international portfolios. We currently represent the largest single portfolio ever to be outsourced to an independent service provider, that of Delphi Automotive. Delphi, the world's largest auto parts supplier, has more than 100 million square feet of real estate spanning 43 countries.

Whether needs are large or small, our clients receive the benefit of UGL Equis' strategic approach to every task we undertake.
