In recent years, real estate in Australia has enjoyed a sustained run of increasing prices driven by Australia’s favourable investment climate and the flow of funds into the sector (domestically and internationally).

During this period, the investment landscape for property has dramatically transformed with the emergence of new market participants, macro-themes impacting real estate strategies and, at times, dislocation between markets and property fundamentals.

The need for organisations to manage their real estate interests has never been greater – as an owner, investor, occupier or manager.

Our team devise and execute strategies and transactions that support corporate, government and not-for-profit clients to deliver their financial, operational and strategic objectives. We deliver a range of due diligence (technical and commercial) and asset management to support investors successfully execute transactions and manage their assets.
