We're pleased to share this great recognition for JLL's facilities management team, which has been shortlisted in four categories at the Awards.

Best of luck to all finalists.

A venue that has stood since the dawn of the gold rush provided a compelling backdrop for discussing the next century of Western Australia’s high-tech real estate at our recent client event in Perth.

Gathering at the historic Heritage Collective in Cottesloe, our economist Ronak Bhimjiani presented "Finding clarity amongst chaos”, breaking down how WA's property markets are running their own unique cycle. The big takeaway? Just as the heritage buildings of the 1890s underpinned Perth's early economy, a new wave of industrial innovation is shaping its future.

Specifically, as major mining companies shift from bulk commodities to critical minerals like copper, they are securing Perth's office market with their highly specialised, global automation hubs. Meanwhile, energy infrastructure and defence projects have significant development pipelines and are set to drive WA's economic diversification over the medium to long term.

Thank you to our clients who joined us for a sharp, forward-looking afternoon to discuss WA's next era of growth.

Great to have clients in Sydney for our metro markets update.
Which precincts are pulling ahead? What do tenants want? And how are these answers influencing landlord decisions?

It was all up for discussion in a candid breakfast conversation, with plenty of insights to chew over.

Thanks to Chapko, Mangcoy, McFadyen, McCauley and Horton for leading the conversation and to our guests for an honest, open forum.

The metro is changing how North Sydney moves what it can be.

Sitting in Victoria Cross (VicX) Tower, the commercial and retail precinct built above the metro station, Pinkney of and JLL’s Lynch discuss what makes VicX so compelling.

Have you been there? How has it changed North Sydney for you?

We're proud to support Lendlease as leasing and property managers on this asset. With direct metro access to Martin Place, Barangaroo, Macquarie Park and Chatswood, we’ve seen North Sydney shift from a stop along the train line to a destination where work is fluid, connected and flexible. It’s a no-brainer for organisations focused on attracting top talent.

Ground floor retail, wellness offerings, cafes and activated public spaces are creating moments of connection for tenants, employees and the wider community throughout the day, not just the 9 to 5. As Paul says in the video, it's a generational piece of infrastructure.

We were delighted to host Committee for Sydney at our Sydney office for the launch of the Benchmarking Sydney 2026 report – a vital reflection on Sydney's performance against the world's leading cities.

Over the past decade, Sydney has made remarkable strides. It has opened an entirely new metro system, strengthened its position as the capital of the Southern Hemisphere for tech and finance, and moved into the global top 10 for talent and education. The city now sits 4th globally for liveability and produces more new unicorn companies than any peer except San Francisco.

But the report also highlights unfinished business. Housing affordability remains a binding constraint, with median home prices now 14 times household income – among the least affordable English-speaking markets globally. Productivity lags behind leading global centres, and our international connectivity has slipped.

Our CEO Selina Short, joined an expert panel - including Joe Barr, Noonan and Rodrigues, to discuss how Sydney can leverage its strengths – stability, talent, and openness – while addressing affordability and deepening specialist industries.

We also heard great insights from Tim Moonen, of Business of Cities.

MacDonald, senior vice president in JLL's Hotels & Hospitality team, delivered a powerful vote of thanks, reminding us that Sydney's global competitiveness isn't just measured in boardrooms – it lives in our neighbourhoods, pubs, and cultural hubs where communities gather and connections are forged.

As the report concludes: Sydney has built the platform. Now it's about putting it to work. https://co.jll/3TPv2zw

Data centres are reshaping Northern Sydney's economy, but Bolla explains what most people are missing.

There are currently 280 megawatts of data centre infrastructure in operation across Northern Sydney. A further 856 MW are under construction or in planning – a threefold increase.

While most associate Sydney’s northern corridor with commercial office and residential development, digital infrastructure is emerging as an economic pillar and diversifying the region's economic base.

Technology now accounts for 14% of fit-out costs, and that figure is rising as AI adoption accelerates across workplaces.

The challenge is that most existing building infrastructure wasn't designed for AI-enabled work patterns. Retrofitting later costs significantly more than planning for adaptability today.

Jennifer Moore, national practice director, JLL Design, discusses the infrastructure approach delivering long-term value.

We had a lovely time opening our Sydney office to alumni for a night of reconnection with our colleagues.
Former JLL team members returned to swap stories, catch up with old work mates, and meet the people driving our business today. A highlight of the evening was recognising the incredible tenure of many attendees, including several who have since retired after long and dedicated careers with the firm.
Their contribution has shaped who we are, and it was a privilege to celebrate that alongside the people carrying it forward.

Thank you to everyone who came back through our doors. It was a brilliant night.

Our CEO Selina Short spoke at the Property Council of Australia’s purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) event in Sydney last week. With Luke Sheehy, of Universities Australia, Craig Carracher, of Scape Australia by The Living Company, the conversation centred on how to unlock the supply needed to support Australia's world-class education sector.

The opportunity: International education contributes $53.6 billion to our economy and employs over 250,000 Australians. According to Federal Government, about 45% of the total economic contribution goes directly to funding Australia’s educational institutions and the rest is injected directly into domestic goods and services.

Education is Australia's second-largest export behind mining and we are lucky to boast nine of the world's top 100 universities.

However, we face a structural challenge. Australia currently has just 128,900 PBSA beds – an 8% provision rate, the lowest of any mature market globally. Compare this to the UK at 33% or the US at 88%. Even with 47,233 beds in the pipeline, including over 21,000 approved but not yet under construction, we'll still face a shortage of nearly 40,000 beds.

Why this matters beyond education: Purpose-Built Student Accommodation is built for students, not the private rental pool, and not a contributor to the housing supply shortfall. Every bed delivered offers more than a safe, secure place to live, learn and build social connections. It takes a student out of competition for housing stock.

PBSA also presents resilient, inflation-protected returns thanks to strong occupancy, sustained rental growth and index-linked income. Capital is now addressing a structural undersupply, and student housing has moved from specialised to mainstream.

Looking ahead: In Australia, our working-age-to-65 ratio will shift from 4:1 today to 2.6:1 within 40 years. International students represent our most productive migration pathway. They study in areas of critical shortage like nursing and engineering, and many stay to fill exactly those gaps.

We can't rely solely on being the lucky country. Being the clever country means exporting knowledge and talent as deliberately as we export resources. PBSA infrastructure is fundamental to making that vision a reality.

Thank you Property Council of Australia for hosting vital conversation and to Mike Zorbas for moderating.

Bringing Pinterest's creative vision to life meant transforming its Sydney workplace into one that reflects the brand's commitment to design excellence and innovation.

Our project managers worked hand-in-hand with Pinterest's global design and construction teams to translate US-based technical standards into a fully compliant Australian fit-out. Together, we delivered a workspace that captures Pinterest's creative identity. It features four spectacular terraces, flexible work stations and dedicated spaces for employee and client experiences.

See how we brought the vision to life: https://co.jll/4doMDoA
