Smart Property Investment Podcast Network

Now over two years into the commercial real estate down cycle, it appears the market is poised for change. On this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Liam Garman speaks with Steve Bennett, CEO of the direct property business within Charter Hall, who is responsible for overseeing roughly $9 billion of assets under management on behalf of self‑managed super funds, family offices, high‑net‑worth and retail investors. Steve shares some of the challenges the asset class has faced over the past two years, and explains how investors should be planning for the future now that the market is approaching what’s expected to be the bottom of the valuation cycle. Is this the time to invest to make outsized returns? The duo discuss how the Australian commercial real estate sector has responded to recent economic conditions, and Steve delves into some of the key trends impacting the core real estate sectors of office, industrial and logistics, and retail.
