In this episode of Inside Commercial Property, Scott O’Neill, founder of Rethink Investing, and Phil Tarrant, executive editor at Momentum Media, dive into the trends shaping the commercial property market. They explore industrial assets as standout performers, with robust rental growth and access for smaller investors, and the renewed promise of retail properties. A significant shift from residential to commercial investing is evident, driven by the appeal of higher yields and negative gearing benefits. Vanessa Rader, head of research at Ray White, joins to discuss data challenges in commercial real estate, such as inconsistencies in zoning classifications and reliance on manual processes, emphasising the need for thorough due diligence. They also consider potential office market recovery, particularly for prime assets, and the growing importance of ESG factors for investors. Despite high interest rates, Scott highlights that now may be a strong entry point for investors, especially in retail and secondary industrial sectors.
