The international experience and practice in Real Estate Management is increasingly stressing the need for analysis, pricing and management of real estate property via modern portfolio theory, risk management and financial engineering. This project develops a taxonomy of the OTE real estate portfolio (the largest of its kind in Greece) on the basis of several criteria including industry standards, benchmarks, risk/return metrics, property characteristics and set of self-imposed hard and soft constraints per the possible usages of each property item. This taxonomy is developed within a prototype management information and decision support system and results in a portfolio description developed in the style of an IPO report. The project examines extensions to issues such as real estate portfolio risk factor analysis, pricing and capital restructuring and financing via advanced financial engineering techniques.
