This initiative to right size our office portfolio better known as the space savings program began in November 2023 with the collection of space utilization data from 46 Merrill agencies and is now starting to pay off as we're able to make informed decisions regarding consolidations to optimize the use of space and relinquish surplus space without affecting agency operations in parallel to improving active management of the office portfolio real estate services have been working to streamline the leasing process internally and reduce the amount of time it takes to go from site search to an executed lease while increasing oversight of space needs and complying with all mandated regulatory requirements from sister agencies.
