Property Council of Australia’s Capital Markets May Seminar

1 IMG_2533Napier & Blakeley are proud of their continued association with the Property Council of Australia‘s NSW Capital Markets Event Series. This week was the first event in the series for 2023 -  Adjusting to the Great Rate Reset.

Jo Masters of Barrenjoey provided us with all the current forces at play in the market, along with what her cloudy crystal ball is inidicating. Jason Weate of Dexus then guided the discussion with Deborah Coakley of Dexus, Justin Louis of Stockland and Harsh Narang of Blackstone Real Estate.

It was a lively and informative conversation with many topics covered, including the catalysts for renewed investment activity, and how they’re approaching an environment of higher interest rates.

Thank you to all the panelists for their time and for making it a fantastic event. And a huge thank you to Jason for stepping in at the last minute to moderate.
