Leading commercial agency Burgess Rawson’s expansion plans continue to gain momentum with two key leadership appointments to its Queensland business.
Former Jones Lang LaSalle agents Campbell Bowers and Andrew Havig have joined Burgess Rawson as Queensland Directors.
Burgess Rawson Managing Director Ingrid Filmer said the appointments demonstrate the business’ focus on the Queensland market and growing demand for investment properties in the northern state.
“We are delighted to welcome Campbell and Andrew to the team,” said Ms Filmer. “Their investment property expertise in Queensland is invaluable.
“Campbell and Andrew will join current Queensland Director Glenn Conridge to lead the team into the next phase of growth for our business.”
Both Mr Bowers and Mr Havig honed their investment expertise over the past five years at Jones Lang LaSalle, working in the capital markets team with a strong focus on retail investments.
The duo achieved great success in recent years, both transacting more than $300+ million across a diverse range of assets, including the sale of $30 million CBD retail assets and achieving record yields in Queensland for both retail fuel and automotive asset classes. This extensive experience complements Burgess Rawson’s market leadership in essential service and convenience sectors such as retail fuel, childcare, fast food, supermarkets and medical.
Burgess Rawson’s recent sales highlights in Queensland include the $5.16 million sale of a KFC restaurant in Berrinba, achieving a yield of 3.35%; a Reece Group investment at Naranga selling for $5,430,000 on a yield of 4.14%; and the national record yield of 4.21% achieved for the $22.2 million sale of Bunnings in Plainland.
Mr Bowers said the time was right to step into a director role.
“The business is in an exciting period, and the opportunity to take on a leadership and mentoring role is really appealing,” said Mr Bowers. “The investment market is particularly strong right now and l am excited about spearheading the next phase of growth for our Queensland business.”
Mr Havig agrees, saying “Burgess Rawson has been hugely successful, particularly throughout the pandemic and the portfolio auction process is second to none. I am looking forward to joining the team and delivering more great results for our clients.”
The appointments follow hugely success Portfolio Auctions in August for the Burgess Rawson team, selling a total of 40 properties for a combined total of $120 million.
