We wish you all a meaningful Reconciliation Week. At JLL we’re encouraging our colleagues to deepen their understanding of Indigenous perspectives this week with activities planned across our Australia offices. We’ll be discussing our progress on this front and the journey ahead. Importantly, we’ll be celebrating our partnerships with Yalari and Bandu, and our collaborations with LittleRocket along with some of our biggest clients to drive economic empowerment and cultural diversity through procuring Indigenous suppliers.
We’re also proud to be launching new comprehensive cultural awareness training for our employees, developed by Evolve Communities to further drive our collective efforts to be a culturally aware organisation.
In the future we imagine that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples enjoy the same high level of social, environmental and economic wellbeing as other Australians. Their engagement in the property industry is important to driving outcomes for the prosperity, health and wellbeing of us all, and the vitality of our country.

Three landmark Sydney pubs are up for sale after more than 25 years under the same ownership,
The Clock in Surry Hills, Bank in Newtown and The Sackville in Rozelle are beloved watering holes (video for proof) in one of Australia’s most resilient hospitality markets. Our Hotels & Hospitality Group is managing the sale on behalf of Amalgamated Hotels.
Here’s what makes the pubs special:
• $40m combined annual revenue
• 11% year-on-year revenue growth
• Prime freehold properties that cannot be replicated
• Blue-chip real estate in key lifestyle and hospitality precincts
• Strong, diversified earnings led by food and beverage
Why now?
Australian household spending on hospitality has jumped from 4.1% to 5.9% over the past year, showing just how strong well-run venues in great locations continue to perform.
The pubs are being sold together for instant scale, or individually to fit investment strategies – the sale structure works both ways.

We’ve successfully negotiated the $50m+ sale of a prime development site in Sydney’s lower north shore suburb of Wollstonecraft to Singapore-listed student accommodation specialist Wee Hur. Dylan McEvoy and Gordon McFadyen managed the campaign for the 2,944 sqm property located by Crows Nest Metro station, marking another significant transaction in Australia's surging co-living sector.
"Sites that can support student accommodation and co-living are particularly sought after, given depth of demand and limited supply in well-connected urban locations," McFadyen says.
Housing supply constraints and shifting renter preferences are driving co-living and student accommodation. Sydney co-living rents start at about $675 a week compared to $730 for comparable apartments, creating compelling value in a tight market.
