“We believe demand will outpace supply in Australia’s major CBD office leasing markets, driving vacancy rates lower – for the first time since early 2020,” says David Cannington.   Following a solid few years of new office completions, new office supply is expected to slow sharply in 2025. Paired with stronger underlying office leasing demand and the continued ‘flight to quality, amenity and sustainability’ theme, we expect this will see a material shift in major CBD office market conditions, with increased competition for high quality and well-located office stock.   Discover more insights in our latest Investa Inside Office Market Outlook 2025 report.

“Australia's major CBD office markets are showing early signs of recovery, with both leasing and capital markets expected to improve through 2025,” says David Cannington. Leading the way is Sydney CBD, demonstrating positive leasing demand and increased capital market activity. While Sydney sets the pace, other major office markets across Australia are at various stages of cyclical recovery.

Happy new year from the Investa team! Here's to 2025.

Did you know Australia generates 30,000 tonnes of commercial furniture waste each year, with a staggering 95% ending up in landfill?* In the spirit of giving back to our community – and the planet – this festive season, our team at 120 Collins Street partnered with Western Health to donate over 200 items from existing and unutilised fitouts, including workstations, pods, partitions, meeting room desks, chairs, and filing cabinets. This aligns with our ESG strategy, Transform Tomorrow, which focuses on creating sustainable buildings and developing a circular economy by recycling, regenerating, and eliminating building operational waste. Thank you to the 120 Collins Street team Ian Muir and Tony Ridge for their generous efforts in giving back to our community. *Reference: https://lnkd.in/gNb5WrTp

To wrap up the year, we had the pleasure of hosting some of our youngest team members at our ‘Bring Your Kids to Work Day.’ The event featured face painting, balloon animals, movies, and a variety of creative activities, giving children a glimpse into their parents’ workplace.   We take pride in supporting our employees as they balance their professional and caregiving responsibilities and are proud to have been awarded our second Family Friendly Workplaces citation by Parents At Work for being a family inclusive organisation this year.   From our CEO Peter Menegazzo and all our team at Investa, we wish you and your families a joyful and safe festive season and a very happy new year.

Celebrations continue across our portfolio as we wrap up the festive season. Occupants at 120 Collins St were spoiled with prizes from a range of local retailers including Jan Logan and the chance to win a luxury stay at Stones of the Yarra Valley. Occupants enjoyed more carolling in the lobby from The Australian Chamber Choir and the Choir of Hard Knocks. Finally, occupants had the opportunity to participate in a stunning wreath making workshop. At 567 Collins St, we teamed up with occupants, Intrepid Travel and S. Kidman Brands, Rossi and Driza-Bone, to offer $1,500 worth of gift vouchers to our Insite community. Occupants were also treated to Coated Australia Christmas Cottages and our charitable gift-wrapping station, supporting Dressed for Success, put the finishing touches on presents. At 135 King St, 420 George St and 60 Martin Place Sydney, our occupants received Santa chocolate speckles from Coated Australia, while at 40 Mount St, North Sydney, one lucky tenant took home a Lindt chocolate hamper after guessing how many chocolates were on display. 201 Kent St enjoyed a DIY gingerbread workshop complete with a performance from James Englund. Occupants also enjoyed a complimentary wine and cheese tasting workshop with The Tasting Guys and Back Row West. Barrack Place wrapped up the year in style with an Aussie themed bauble giveaway followed by festive tunes in the laneway. Over in Brisbane, occupants at Turbot Place guessed 'What's under the Turbot Tree?' for the opportunity to win a variety of prizes.
