POSITION: Senior negotiator of retail leasing
COMPANY: JLL
OFFICE LOCATION: Queensland
How long have you been in the industry?
Six years in April
What’s happening in the area you specialise in?
There has been a lot of activity from international brands seeking to enter the Brisbane market, which is something I expect to continue. The emergence of Edward Street as the high-end fashion destination within Brisbane will continue which is exciting for Brisbane locals and visitors. Over the longer term, the impact of the Queens Wharf precinct on the retail market within Brisbane will be interesting.
Describe the most interesting property you have sold?
Supporting French luxury retailer Cartier enter the Brisbane market through the lease of their largest Australian store at 170 Edward Street, Brisbane.
What are the ingredients to being successful in your job?
Being honest, approachable and enthusiastic. Never become complacent.
What aspects of your role do you enjoy the most?
Working within a dedicated and passionate team, and engaging with clients and tenants to help deliver good outcomes for them.
Where would you invest a spare $750,000?
I think that the Brisbane near-city residential market is a great place to invest at the moment. With the housing affordability gap between Brisbane and Melbourne/Sydney beginning to increase, I think that we will begin to see strong interstate population migration over the medium term leading to good house price growth.
Which football team do you support?
The Queensland Reds.
What’s your favourite app or techno gadget?
Instagram.
How do you use social media?
To stay in touch with people overseas.

The award winning Old Fitzroy Hotel in Sydney’s Woolloomooloo has been put on the sales block. 
The 129 Dowling Street hotel sits on a 273 square metre site and features a public bar, restaurant, beer garden, gaming room with 15 PMEs, function room and commercial kitchen. 
The established hotel received TimeOut Sydney’s coveted Best Pub Award in 2012 and Hall of Fame Award in 2011. Other key features are the accommodation rooms and offices on the second floor, as well as housing Australia’s only live pub theatre. The Old Fitzroy Theatre is currently leased to the Independent Theatre Company and used six days per week.
CBRE’s Peter Vines and Daniel Dragicevich have been appointed by Garry Pasfield to sell the property via expressions of interest. 
“We expect this iconic hotel will attract strong interest from a range of potential buyers including experienced operators looking to drive revenue in the already successful ground floor areas and further establish the under-utilised first and second floor areas to achieve strong growth in profitability," said Mr Dragicevich.  
He also pointed to the hotel's redevelopment potential.

The leasehold interest of the Mayfair Ridge Tavern in the central Queensland mining town of Emerald has been listed for sale.
Located on the corner of the Gregory Highway and Mayfair Drive, the single storey tavern was constructed in 2008 and is situated at the entrance to Emerald’s newest master planned residential estate Mayfair Ridge.
The expressions of interest campaign closed on 2 April through Leon Alaban and Sean Dollar of Ray White Hotels Australia.
Mr Alaban said “the site’s facilities consist of a sports bar, lounge bar and dining, a function room, gaming room with 35 EGMs, outdoor dining, a drive through bottle shop with liquor barn and one detached bottle shop.” 
“A massive benefit to the sale of this lease is that the tenant owns the 35 gaming authorities, ownership of these authorities should subsequently provide lending institutions added confidence to fund the acquisition.”

CDE Mortgages has secured a 228 square metre office suite in the Sydney CBD.
The four year lease was secured at 233 Castlereagh Street, on about $540,000 gross plus GST per annum.
Owned by property fund manager and investor, GDI Property Group, the building was substantially refurbished in 2004 to provide its tenants with a more flexible and efficient floor space design.
Thomas Fredriksen and Brendan Shipp of Knight Frank negotiated the lease.
Mr Shipp said “we are noticing that demand has increased greatly from tenants across various industry groups looking for sub 500 square metre spaces, particularly in the southern precinct of the Sydney CBD."
He attributed that increased demand to "the number of overseas firms looking to establish offices in Sydney and meet the growing demand from overseas markets to invest within the Sydney marketplace."

DEXUS Property Group has secured a new lease with Lend Lease Business Services across more than 3,000 square metres at its The Zenith building in Sydney's Chatswood. 
The lease, at 821 Pacific Highway, extends Lend Lease's occupancy in the building to more than 7,300 square metres.
Dexus general manager of office and industrial for office and industrial, Kevin George, said combined with its tenancy at 30 The Bond, Lend Lease occupied more than 24,000 square metres across its Sydney office portfolio.
“Our active leasing approach and leveraging of tenant relationships has resulted in the leasing of almost 10,000 square metres at The Zenith over the past five months, increasing occupancy to over 95% and the weighted average lease expiry to 4.2 years," he said. 
The Zenith is managed and 50% owned by DEXUS, with the GPT Wholesale Office Fund owning the remaining interest.  
Dexus and partner The Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board is close to clenching 100% control of the $3 billion Commonwealth Property Fund.  Recent leasing at The Zenith includes:
<ul>
<li>Lend Lease Business Services new lease across 3,120 square metres adding to Lend Lease Abigroup Limited’s existing tenancy across 4,225 square metres</li>
<li>
Government Property NSW - Transport’s new lease across 2,116 square metres, growing its tenancy to 8,437 square metres

A popular café in East Melbourne has been purchased by a private investor on a paper-thin yield of about 5.3%. 
The strata titled property, home to French-inspired bakery Laurent Patisserie, is located on the ground floor at 1 Powlett Street and sold for $1.53 million.  
Tenant Laurent Patisserie started its five year lease last year, at a current net rental of $81,752.
 It is subject to annual increments fixed at the CPI. There is one further five year option to renew with a rental review to market on exercise.
Gray Johnson director Matt Hoath negotiated the private sale.
The strata property on the ground floor of a high quality apartment building, said Mr Hoath, was fitted out as an exclusive cafe and patisserie and benefits from its premium position immediately opposite the MCG, Jolimont railway station and in close proximity to Melbourne’s most revered city edge parklands.
The sale price represented a site value in excess of $12,000 per square metre, he added.

The international interest in Australia's commercial property market has continued with Singapore's International Healthway Corporation making its first foray into the country with the purchase of a Melbourne building for $45 million.    
In a statement, the integrated healthcare services and facilities provider said it had "signed a contract of sale" for the acquisition of 553 St Kilda Road in Melbourne and that the purchase marked the beginning of its portfolio diversification into Australia.  
Dr Jong Hee Sen, executive chairman of IHC said: "Diversifying into attractive and large economies in the Asia-Pacific region such as Australia, has been a key growth strategy since our listing in July 2013."
"IHC continually sources for attractive opportunities to expand our involvement in medical real estate, healthcare-related assets, integrated mixed-use developments, as well as healthcare services, to increase future income and enjoy capital growth prospects.  
"With Victoria being one of the most populous states in Australia, we are pleased to begin our expansion into Australia in this vibrant state.” 
The seven storey building is fully leased and is located on a 3,044 square metre site and it has a net lettable area of 10,170 square metres.  
 Dr Jong Hee Sen added that IHC plans to reposition the property over the next few years.
"With the rising healthcare demands of the ageing population in Australia, 553 St Kilda Road will complement and create synergies to the existing medical services provided in the surrounding vicinity," he said.
The property is located next to the Alfred Hospital.

One of Melbourne's most exclusive retail locations on Collins Street is set to be the new location for international luxury brand Hermès. 
The luxury retailer will occupy 420 square metres over two levels in the former NAB building. It is the first time that the space has been on the market in 76 years.
The 10 year lease, at 71 Collins Street, was facilitated by Ben Tremellen and Alexander Robertson of Colliers International.
“A second wave of more than 15 international brands is set to hit Australian shores in 2015-16,” Mr Tremellen said.
“The Melbourne CBD, and Collins Street in particular, will be at the forefront of this growth.
“The CBD continues to be the first location of choice for major international retailers coming to Australia and luxury brands have already begun expanding their presence.
"Melbourne is becoming a first stop for many of the luxury brands, due largely to the level of sophistication of the local market.”
Colliers research has found international retailers, upon entry to the Australian market, generally sought a flagship store in either the Melbourne or Sydney CBD, following up with locations in major shopping centres such as Chadstone in Victoria and Westfield Sydney.
“These retailers typically require large floor plates, with their average store size substantially larger than those of local retailers,” Mr Tremellen said. The store size requirement ranged between 150 square metres and 400 square metres.

One of the world's biggest real estate groups - Jones Lang LaSalle - this week changed its name to JLL. 
The decision to shorten the name, said the company, was “a natural evolution of the firm’s historically rich brand, recognising that it is a truly global company located in multiple markets, with a wide range of expertise applied through many different client services". 
 JLL Australia chief executive Stephen Conry said: “this is a natural and exciting progression".
"We were the first global commercial property firm to establish an Australian presence and we continue to evolve."  
"Our new name JLL is modern and suits our vision for the future of our business.
He also made a point of saying that JLL was particularly well suited to the many digital applications and mobile channels it used, where shorter names worked better. 
The JLL name and new logo will be rolled out globally over the next two years.

Melbourne developer Spacious Group has completed Voyage Altona, one of the closest new apartment developments to Altona Beach.

Off the plan purchasers have started moving into the 49-apartment project on Pier Street, with the remaining move-in-ready one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments starting from just over $500,000.

Display apartments have now been fitted out, allowing prospective buyers to inspect the completed residences by appointment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=372638]

The completed apartments feature open-plan living and dining areas which extend onto private balconies and terraces, while full-height glazing maximises natural light throughout the interiors.&nbsp;

Hybrid timber-look flooring, stone benchtops, Miele appliances, porcelain-tiled bathrooms and generous storage feature throughout the building which also features landscaped communal areas, expansive shared terraces, lift access and secure on-grade parking.

Drawing inspiration from its bayside setting, Voyage adopts a restrained palette of warm neutral tones and textured finishes. Many of the apartments take advantage of views across Port Phillip Bay, while the indoor-outdoor living spaces have been designed to make the most of the coastal outlook.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112195 project_image_fid=3286]

Voyage was developed to address what Spacious Group identified as an undersupply of higher-quality apartment product in Altona, with a focus on owner-occupiers looking to remain within the bayside community.

"Voyage responds to very strong local buyer demand for quality, owner-occupier-focused product," says Barry Plant Projects Director Jarrod Farey, who has handled sales since the project's launch.

"The project delivers an elevated lifestyle proposition, with its design and quality of finish far exceeding anything previously produced in the area, as well as its proximity to Pier Street Village and the beach."

The majority of purchasers have been local downsizers and owner-occupiers looking to stay within the Altona community but who previously had limited opportunities to buy a brand-new apartment.

Homecorp has secured approval for a $360 million apartment development at Budds Beach, paving the way for one of the Gold Coast's most amenity-rich residential projects to launch later this year.

Gold Coast City Council has approved Lýon Residences, a 32-level tower that will deliver 178 two and three-bedroom apartments across a prominent corner site at 8-10 Acacia Avenue and 25-27 Oak Avenue.

The approval comes as developers continue to invest in premium lifestyle-driven apartment projects on the Gold Coast, where owner occupiers are increasingly prioritising amenity as much as apartment size and location.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/l-on-residences-25-27-oak-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Lýon Residences</a> has been designed around a resort-style wellness offering, headlined by a Moroccan-inspired spa precinct featuring treatment rooms, a Nordic sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, a soaking pool and a residents-only juice bar.

The rooftop will include a heated infinity pool and spa, residents' lounge with private kitchen and bar, gymnasium, yoga and Pilates studio, outdoor entertaining areas and barbecue facilities overlooking the Surfers Paradise skyline.

<img alt="Lyon" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2d3e29af-8793-486e-a684-52cef862241f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-15%20at%204.32.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ayG2zpLf3SS6Zy8XmKDcQods4kVWb0gm" />

Homecorp Founder and CEO Ron Bakir said Budds Beach provided the ideal location for the company's latest luxury apartment project.

"Budds Beach represents one of the most unique and sought-after pockets of the Gold Coast, and Lýon Residences has been designed to reflect that sense of rarity and refinement," Bakir said.

The project arrives as wellness continues to become a defining feature of new residential developments both in Australia and internationally.

The latest Global Wellness Institute figures show wellness real estate remains the fastest-growing segment of the global wellness economy and is forecast to exceed $1.8 trillion by 2030. Australia continues to rank among the world's 15 largest wellness real estate markets, with developers increasingly integrating health, recreation and community facilities into apartment projects.

Queensland is also experiencing strong population growth, with the Gold Coast continuing to outperform many other Australian cities as demand for new housing remains elevated ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Bakir said the project had been designed to respond to that shift in buyer expectations.

"Strong population growth and sustained demand across the Gold Coast continue to highlight the need for well-designed new housing supply. Lýon Residences responds directly to this demand while setting a new benchmark for residential living," he said.

Each apartment has been designed to maximise views across the coastline, the Nerang River and the Gold Coast hinterland.

Located just minutes from Surfers Paradise beach and the Broadwater, the development also offers easy access to the light rail network, Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads.

Early site works are underway, with construction expected to commence later this year.

New apartment developments with uninterrupted, north-facing views over Perth's Swan River are exceptionally rare.

Recognising just how limited those opportunities are, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/edge-visionary-living">Edge Visionary Living</a>, one of Perth's most respected builder-developers, targeted <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/applecross-wa-6153">Applecross</a>, assembling an unrepeatable 6,342 sqm riverfront site on the corner of Moreau Mews and Canning Beach Road to create one of Perth's only new north-facing apartment developments directly overlooking the Swan River.

Today, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/riviere-residences-applecross-59-canning-beach-road-applecross-wa-6153">Rivière Residences</a> offers buyers a unique opportunity to choose between completed residences ready to move into now and off-the-plan homes in the final stage, Rivière West.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=3823]

Across the completed East and Central buildings, residents are already enjoying the development's luxury amenity, while two of the precinct's hospitality venues are now open.

The completed component of the development gives buyers the advantage of experiencing the finished product firsthand, including its uninterrupted river views, while still having the opportunity to secure a residence in the final stage.

"People are wowed by the view and the quality of the apartments,"&nbsp;Edge Visionary Living Sales Executive, Holly McSweeney, says.

"They're looking for the convenience of lock-and-leave living, but they're not looking to downsize on quality."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=3826]

The rarity of the development hasn't been lost on prospective buyers, McSweeney says.

For McSweeney, it all comes back to a location that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate.

"Location, location, location," she says. "We are nestled right on the front of the Swan River. You can never get built out, so wherever you are in Rivière Residences, you've got views of the river forever."

The unique waterfront position has resonated particularly strongly with local downsizers. McSweeney says many buyers are long-time Applecross residents looking to transition from large family homes into a luxury apartment without sacrificing space, quality or the lifestyle they've enjoyed for decades.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N_FowNW0wu8?si=vb25XFq1wZ-iufAW" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

A major focus for Edge in recent years has been resident amenity. Across its apartment portfolio, from beachfront developments in Scarborough to luxury towers in South Perth, the developer has increasingly invested in the spaces beyond the apartment itself.

The strategy has largely been shaped by downsizer demand. Many buyers are moving from large family homes with swimming pools and established gardens. While they're looking to leave the maintenance behind, they don't want to compromise on lifestyle.

At Rivière, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/hillam-architects">Hillam Architects</a> designed the resident facilities as an extension of each apartment. A 25-metre heated swimming pool takes advantage of the north-facing river outlook, complemented by a large gym, sauna and steam rooms, private dining spaces, residents' lounges, a cinema, games room, and dedicated wine and whisky rooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28384 project_image_fid=372542]

The waterfront location has also proved to be a major drawcard. Residents are within walking distance of the Raffles Hotel, South of Perth Yacht Club, the Heathcote Cultural Precinct and the cafés, restaurants and boutiques along Ardross Street.

Beyond the location and amenity, McSweeney says many buyers take confidence from Edge's fully integrated development model.

Having delivered apartments across Perth for decades, Edge now designs, develops and constructs its projects in-house, giving the company greater control over quality, delivery and the finished product.

"What I love is when people walk through their apartment for the first time and say, 'This is better than what we imagined,'" McSweeney says. "We hear that all the time."

Completed apartments in the East and Central buildings are now available to inspect by appointment, while Rivière West, the final stage of the precinct, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.

North-facing Swan River views drive demand at Rivière Residences in Applecross

Nearly 60 per cent of apartments at McNab Group's $220 million The Tannery development in Brisbane's West End have sold ahead of the project's public launch, including a suburb-record $2.57 million sale for a two-bedroom apartment.

The early sales campaign has secured buyers for 50 of the project's 87 apartments, highlighting continued demand for larger owner-occupier apartments that combine generous floorplans with premium lifestyle amenities in one of Brisbane's most tightly held inner-city suburbs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374768]

McNab Group Executive Chairman Michael McNab said selling more than half the project before launch reflected changing buyer expectations.

"Selling more than half the project before public sales open tells us buyers are actively seeking apartments that offer something genuinely different," McNab said.

"Today's buyers are looking beyond four walls. They want homes that genuinely enhance the way they live, with spaces that support health, connection and everyday wellbeing."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374767]

A key point of difference for the project is the adaptive reuse of the heritage-listed Dixon's Tannery building, which will become The Retreat, a residents-only wellness precinct rather than being redeveloped into additional apartments.

The Retreat will feature a sauna and steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, a commercial-grade gym, Pilates studio, cinema, library, co-working spaces and private dining room. Rooftop amenities will include a swimming pool, landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and dog-friendly spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374760]

Designed by Cottee Parker Architects with interiors by Tom Mark Henry and landscape architecture by Aspect Studios, The Tannery comprises 87 two, three and four-bedroom apartments across 11 levels overlooking the Brisbane River.

Cottee Parker principal Dee Passenger said preserving the original tannery building had been central to the project's design.

"The easy option would have been to maximise the site's development potential with additional apartments. Instead, McNab has chosen to preserve the original tannery as a shared wellness retreat, ensuring this important piece of Brisbane's history remains at the heart of the community."

Passenger said sustainability also played a key role in the design, with materials from the original industrial site salvaged and repurposed throughout the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143337 project_image_fid=374761]

Motiv CEO Carly Cottam said buyers had responded strongly to the combination of larger apartments, wellness facilities and the West End lifestyle.

"We are seeing more buyers looking for homes in the sky that provide the space and functionality of a traditional home, while benefiting from the convenience and lifestyle that apartment living brings," Cottam said.

She said purchasers included both owner occupiers and investors, with demand coming from local buyers as well as interstate purchasers.

Coinciding with the public launch, McNab also announced a partnership with Queensland Ballet, whose neighbouring Thomas Dixon Centre shares historical ties with the original Dixon family.

Located on a 4,465 sqm site at 439 Montague Road, The Tannery overlooks the Brisbane River and is around 10 minutes from the CBD.

Construction is underway, with completion expected in the second half of 2027.

Iwan Sunito's vision for a landmark mixed-use precinct in Sydney's Inner West has taken a major step forward, with approval granted for the $1.9 billion Five Dock development first unveiled earlier this year.

The approved scheme by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/one-global-capital">One Global Capital</a> will deliver an 80,500 sqm mixed-use precinct comprising 840 apartments, integrated hotel accommodation, commercial and retail space, alongside publicly accessible open space designed to create a new destination for the growing suburb.

"This is a significant milestone for One Global Capital and for the future of housing delivery in Sydney," Sunito said.

"The Housing Delivery Authority was established to identify major housing projects capable of delivering meaningful supply more efficiently, and we are delighted that Spencer Street has been recognised as one of those projects.”

He said the declaration reflected the rapid progress achieved since acquiring control of the site.

"In less than seven months we have progressed from taking control of the site to securing entry into one of the NSW Government's most important planning pathways. It reflects the experience of our team, the strength of our consultant group led by Urbis, and our long-term commitment to delivering transformational projects that contribute to Sydney's future."

When the project was revealed earlier this year, Sunito described the opportunity as one of the strongest development sites he had worked on.

"I probably hadn't appreciated the uniqueness of the site until more recently when putting together the concept plans," Sunito said.

"The proximity to the water, and the golf course opposite, is unlike any other part of Parramatta Road. We have a unique position and view corridors over the water that makes this one of the best sites I've worked on."

The development has evolved since its initial announcement, with the approved plans increasing the residential component from the originally proposed 750 apartments to 840 homes while retaining the project's focus on creating an integrated neighbourhood rather than a standalone residential development.

The precinct will combine apartments with hotel accommodation, commercial workplaces, retail offerings and public spaces, creating a mixed-use environment intended to serve both residents and the broader Five Dock community. The proposal also continues the collaboration between One Global Capital and internationally recognised architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, whose previous work with Sunito includes Infinity, Arc and Skye North Sydney.

Takada previously said the design was driven by a philosophy of integrating nature into the built environment.

"The concept for this development is born from our design approach to naturalising architecture," Takada said.

"The public realm benefits from biophilic design that integrates generous landscaping, and the development is optimised for natural daylight, airflow and water views to foster wellbeing, sustainability and spaces that foster community interaction."

Sunito has consistently described the project as a "city within a city", with a strong emphasis on creating a destination that extends beyond housing.

"We want to create a development that's not only to be seen, but to be experienced by the whole local community," he said.

The approval comes as Five Dock continues its transformation ahead of the opening of the Sydney Metro West line, with the new Five Dock station set to significantly improve connections between the Inner West, Parramatta and the Sydney CBD.&nbsp;

The precinct will also benefit from its proximity to the Parramatta Road corridor, nearby waterfront parklands and established retail and dining offerings that have made Five Dock one of Sydney's most tightly held Inner West suburbs.
