Head of Research and Analysis
My property career commenced in 2015 working under an established real estate banner in Brisbane’s northern suburbs. Throughout this period, it provided me with the foundations associated with commercial real estate, allowing me to further progress my career in 2017 where I held an analyst role in a major global corporation.
I specialised in the office leasing sector, providing in-depth analysis on market conditions, trends and deal metrics specific to institutional office assets. Utilising my analytical skillset, I was also responsible for distributing reports to key clientele, detailing statistics and market intelligence focussed on the Brisbane CBD and Fringe leasing markets.
I further advanced within the company, working as an Analyst within the Capital Transaction division. I was responsible for facilitating and the management of accurate and timely analysis of institutional grade office portfolios including research, documentation, transaction data assessment and a high level of financial modelling-based analysis. During this tenure, I had an active involvement in the campaign of Brisbane’s Gold Tower, 10 Eagle Street, acquired by Marquette for $285mil.
Joining Caden in May 2021, I am responsible for the direction of Caden’s research capability, ensuring our research platform provides the highest level of support and service to our clients. Being exposed to key data flow on a daily basis and working collaboratively within a specialised CBD leasing team, I am able to utilise this to deliver high level insights and research output.
