FLINT Davidson has been appointed as CBRE’s new head of capital markets for the Pacific region.
Davidson began his career with CBRE in 1997, has led the group’s Pacific capital markets office for the last five years and is now also joining its Pacific Executive Committee.
“Following an extensive internal and external search, Flint was the standout candidate to lead our world-class Capital Markets team,” said Phil Rowland, CEO of pacific advisory services at CBRE.
Davidson was brokered many of the country’s most significant office transactions, such as last year’s $1.15 billion Investa Gateway deal, the $1.025 billion sale of a 50% stake in Melbourne’s Southern Cross Towers and the $925 million sale of a half-share in Sydney’s Grosvenor Place.
“He’s an incredible broker who is focused on client outcomes and has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of our business, the market and our customers,” added Rowland.
“We are excited about the future growth potential for our capital markets business under Flint’s leadership and have deep confidence in his ability to further strengthen our capability to serve our clients’ needs.”
Davidson will continue to maintain an active relationship with clients, including transacting major office deals, as he extends his reach into other parts of the business.
“I’m pleased to enter this next chapter of my career, leading CBRE’s Pacific capital markets business. I already know how strong a team we have, as evidenced by the latest MSCI Real Assets data that has CBRE in first place in Australia and Pacific, and atop five of the seven capital markets categories in Australia, headlined by Office, Industrial and Hotels,” said Davidson.
“I’m looking forward to working more closely with the broader capital markets team, to bring together our diverse and industry leading offering to assist our clients to navigate the current environment.”
