Leading commercial real estate firm, Stonebridge Property Group, have added a new specialist sales division to their Australian operation. The National Investment Sales team will have a particular focus on childcare centres, service stations, fast-food and convenience retail investments. The announcement comes after securing a depth of senior, specialist talent at the same time as the opening of a new Queensland office.
According to Stonebridge Partner, Lincoln Blackledge, “this team are simply best-in-class, enjoying an impressive track record in national Investment transactions over many years. This is best evidenced by their record results having achieved more than $1.5 billion in sales over the last few years by the senior team, who will become Partners of Stonebridge and lead the new division.”
Tom Moreland, who has significant experience in National Investment Sales, has joined the new Stonebridge Division, in Partnership with the founders. “There’s a lot to like about Stonebridge,” he said. “I was particularly attracted by the calibre of people, their ethos, values and genuine client focus. Over a sustained period, they have shown market- leading agency acumen, innovation in marketing, and pioneered Asian services practices, all of which will greatly enhance the offering to our clients”.
Mr. Moreland added that Stonebridge, as an independently owned and operated agency delivered unparalleled access to decision-makers, enabling more dynamic, innovative, and flexible approaches, which ultimately deliver better outcomes for clients.
Stonebridge Partner, Justin Dowers, added “The formation of the National Investment Sales team and opening of the Stonebridge Queensland Office is complementary to the recent expansion into Melbourne. This division now has a highly integrated platform along the eastern seaboard which will have significant benefits for our clients.”
Stonebridge was formed in Sydney in 2008 by directors Jonathan Fox, Carl Molony, Philip Gartland and Lincoln Blackledge who quickly established themselves as a major force in the sale of shopping centres and development sites in Australia and New Zealand. Over the past year alone Stonebridge has achieved in excess of $2 billion in transactions, on behalf of global companies and some of Australia’s largest and most respected organisations.
The new National Investment Sales Division will announce further Senior staff appointments soon, as well as the launch of an innovative sales and marketing approach.
