Australia’s Commercial Property Leaders Come Together This Spring
The people who own, build and fund Australia’s commercial property are rarely in the same room.
The Urban Developer’s new Industry Leaders Series brings them together, one sector at a time.
Four lunch forums across spring, covering retail, office, industrial and healthcare. The format stays the same—a keynote, a panel of senior owners, developers and investors, and an In Conversation with a leading industry figure. Three hours, finished by 3pm.
Registrations for Retail and Office are open now.
Retail Leaders Forum | Sydney | Tuesday, October 20 | Four Seasons Hotel
The headline act is the fireside.
Revelop founders Charbel Hazzouri and Anthony El-Hazouri have built a privately owned business into one of Australia’s most active retail developers and owners, with more than $1 billion of Sydney retail behind them.
They sit down with The Urban Developer founder and chief executive Adam Di Marco to tell the story. Few operators have one quite like it.
Colliers head of property economics and analytics Gavin Duane opens with a keynote on the forces reshaping retail property, drawing on more than 30 years of market research.
The panel features JLL head of retail investments Sam Hatcher, MA Financial managing director of retail Ramesh Subramanian and Retail Strategy Group founder Angela Bonnefin, who has worked across more than 100 retail projects.
