THE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
FROM THE CEO
“TALENTWINS GAMES, BUT TEAMWORK AND INTELLIGENCE WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS.”
MICHAEL JORDAN
The most successful first quarter in the Australian property market has just been reported with $6.5billion being transacted. Ironically, even with the shift in workplace habits it was the office sector that took the lead, with the type of space required having changed rather than the amount of space reducing. Overall however, there was an indication that investor sentiment remains positive for the long term across all sectors, this being reflected in the high number of listings on both our platforms CommercialReady and DevelopmentReady and impressive clearance rates being recorded. Further, agents and development financiers in particular are becoming more clever and competitive with their marketing strategies in order to meet the high expectations of the market. Together, with Ready Media’s cutting edge creative team, these high expectations and outstanding results have been realised. Together is the key word here. Our collaborative way of working and genuine enjoyment for what we do and who we work with has fostered good relationships both internally and externally and the ability to achieve the outstanding results we have witnessed. We work with great people and great people work with us. Together, we’re all winning and to us, that’s what a real championship is about. In addition to this issue featuring our Q1 wrap, state market overviews and other articles of interest, The Interview with Rob Langton continues with yet again another impressive line up; Kris Daff, Len Warson, Peter Ivany AO and KimWilliams AM.
He also talks to Benson Zhou of Savills who leads the group’s Asia Markets Team in Melbourne and who have been involved in negotiating and transacting over a billion dollars of commercial property assets across the Country. Tamara Gross’ Women in Property podcasts also feature with Amy Carlson of Woolworths Group and Gaby Rosenberg of Blossom delivering insights into their career journey. Finally, as always, we have kept you up to date with the newest development sites and commercial investment listings, upcoming auctions and EOI’s as well as our ‘monthly market moves’ around the Country.
