KNIGHT Frank has strengthened its Western Australia team with the appointment of new partners in office leasing, and valuation and advisory business.
Jeremy Robotham, currently partner of asset management services in New South Wales, has relocated from Sydney to Perth to join the office leasing team. And David Ivey has been appointed as partner, valuation and advisory in Perth.
Head of WA Craig Dawson said the appointments have been made as the Perth market experiences renewed optimism, with the anticipation of upcoming growth in the post-COVID recovery.
“Both Jeremy and David will be fantastic additions to our team, bringing their unique experience, knowledge and skills to enhance our service offering to clients.
“Jeremy has over 23 years’ experience working in institutional-grade commercial and industrial real estate across Australia and has worked for major national property businesses including The GPT Group, Centuria Capital and AMP Capital,” he added.
“David, meanwhile, will prove invaluable to our valuation and advisory business. Retail is a core market for our business, and we want to better service our clients in both Western Australia and New South Wales in valuations.
“In addition to being the former head of valuations and advisory for JLL in Perth, for the past two years David worked client side with Vicinity shopping centres, which has strengthened his relationships with key retail groups and will assist Knight Frank to deliver the best service for our clients.” Dawson said.
Robotham said this is an exciting time to be in Perth commercial market with the recovery from COVID-19 starting to gather pace, and I look forward to using my significant experience to deliver value to the Knight Frank team, including in asset repositioning, project leasing and delivering focused asset strategies across single assets and portfolios.
Ivey said he was excited to join Knight Frank and resume in an agency role, after developing additional skills over the past few years in a client-side role.
“For the past 15 years I have held a variety of leadership roles within the valuation and advisory department, and while more recently I have been involved on the client side of business, I look forward to going back to valuations to deliver the best service for Knight Frank’s clients,” he concluded.
