In a move reminiscent of its first foray into Melbourne's northern and western industrial markets in 2006, Savills has recruited a highly regarded team for a new office in Melbourne’s strategically important south-east industrial and commercial region.
Lynton Williams and Joseph Catanese, from Colliers, will head up the new division aided by Daniel Kelly (Colliers) and Ben Hegerty (JLL). The quartet boast a combined 40 years experience in the south-east industrial market.
In 2006 Savills shocked the market with its recruitment of Greg Jensz, David Norman, Michael Green and Tim Casanelia who were regarded as Melbourne’s best industrial operatives in the western and northern regions.
Savills Victoria Managing Director, Dominic Long, said the south-east was obviously a very important market in Melbourne and one Savills had wanted to participate more fully in for some time.
``There is no way we could not be part of what is the most rapidly growing industrial and commercial market in Melbourne. It was just a matter of time and getting the right people.
``The people we have gathered together are acknowledged as the best in the business in the south-eastern industrial market and we are very happy they have agreed to come on board,’’ Mr Long said.
Savills has leased a 400 square metre suite at the award winning Omnico Business Centre at 270 Ferntree Gully Road in Notting Hill. The office will initially focus on the industrial market with commercial appointments to follow.
The new appointments come hot on the heels of the recent announcement of Clinton Baxter’s arrival at Savills as Head of Division, City Sales and Investments.
Working mainly in the private client market, dealing with investors, property developers, owner-occupier businesses and retailers, Mr Baxter has been a dominant figure in Melbourne’s CBD markets, averaging sales of $150 million plus per annum over the past nine years.
