CUSHMAN & Wakefield continues to grow its team in Victoria after poaching Knight Frank director Stephen Imrie, to the new role of director capital markets.
Imrie has over 20 years of experience in both the United Kingdom and Australia and most recently as director institutional sales in Knight Frank’s Melbourne office.
He has completed some notable transactions in recent years, including 484 St Kilda Rd Melbourne which sold for $94 million and 40 Market St for $46.7 million.
In his role Stephen will work closely with James Quigley, head of capital markets. Imrie will primarily focus on the sale of institutional grade real estate assets in Melbourne CBD and the city fringe on behalf of both domestic and offshore investors.
“We are delighted to have Stephen join our national capital markets team. Stephen brings a great depth of experience both in Melbourne and London and his collaborative approach fits well with the existing team culture,” Quigley said.
Stephen’s appointment follows significant growth across Cushman & Wakefield nationally, having expanded the Australian agency team by 100 new appointments over 18 months, including the appointment of six senior industrial agents, four senior appointments in both commercial and retail asset management, and establishing the leading retail leasing team in the Melbourne market.
To accommodate the growing Melbourne footprint, Cushman & Wakefield has also recently completed the relocation to Dexus’ 385 Bourke St office, where it occupies 2,500 sqm.
“We are building an offering in the Australian marketplace that combines some of the best talent in the industry,” Victorian managing director Dominic Long said.
