St James Station
Preservation of past buildings is wonderful when the building is attractively designed and the structure is sound. St James Station is a good example. The conveniently located St James Station on Hyde Park in Sydney’s Midtown is heritage listed. It was built in 1926 and is an example of Inter War Stripped Classical architecture.
New York, New York
15- 30 seconds, that’s the conclusion I’ve reached when it comes to the attention span of a New Yorker in a conversation. If something you say resonates with them then you get a bonus 15 seconds more. Therefore the key to a successful conversation is to be prepared and to know what you want. There’s no mucking around because simply put, time is money.
Sydney Turns On The Lights To Beat The Winter Chill
Encouraging 2.3 million people to step outdoors in Winter is no mean feat. Few do it better than Sydney’s Vivid light festival. For 23 days in June, when daylight hours are shorter and nights colder, Sydney-siders and tourists are encouraged to view popular parts of the harbour and iconic public buildings to witness an audio visual spectacle.
Who Turned Off The Lights in Sydney?
Is a city really significant if it doesn’t have lights? Not according to the skylines of Hong Kong, Singapore, Times Square, Berlin, Shanghai or many of the other global cities. Fading are the Sydney lights of vacant office spaces which burned bright with or without occupants and no longer do. NABERS and Greenstar ratings have made us more aware and responsible for wasting energy and its obvious who the offenders are.
Sydney’s Bars Rocket Through the Roof
Sydney’s rooftop bar culture is evolving, with the latest offering, Bar 12, set to come to Sydney. Bar 12 is an enclosed, two-storey executive lounge and bar atop the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel. Overlooking Sydney’s picturesque Darling Harbour, the venue replaces Bar 11, which was previously the outdoor rooftop facility located in the same position.
Clarence Street Precinct Update
Clarence Street, in the Sydney CBD is strongly influenced by its proximity to the city landmarks of The Queen Victoria Building and Town Hall, which has the convenience of the ultra-busy Town Hall train station where some 70,000 commuters arrive each day for work.
Is There An Over Supply of Office Space?
Philip Graus and Kymbal Dunne talk over supply in the office space. “Sydney’s population is set to grow dramatically in the coming decades; by 2050, its population will be more than 7 million people. With population growth comes the need for Sydney to remain globally competitive as a city. There will be a strong need to create and attract new jobs, but in order to do so there must be a supply of contemporary workspaces.”

Broken Arrow
Kymbal always took the time necessary to fully understand the needs of an international company. Despite the time difference between our countries, he always found the time to connect live by telephone and made great efforts to keep me updated and apprised of the status and situations needing our feedback or intervention. He works diligently to make the deal that not only meets our corporate needs but is also a well negotiated economic transaction. For me, working with Kymbal goes well beyond just having “trust” and confidence in your agent. I am very pleased to have Kymbal as my agent and also very proud to call him a friend. I consider Kymbal as one of the top five (5) real estate representatives in the World that I have had the pleasure to work with and would be very pleased to elaborate on his strengths and character.

Commitment and perseverance summarise the effort of Kymbal Dunne, Andrew Palmer and John Swanson of Knight Frank to market our commercial property and sell it. They formulated a clear marketing strategy and followed through on all purchasing interest. The market wasn’t as deep at the point we wanted to sell but they did not give up and tried different approaches so that we could achieve our goal. We were pleased with their energy and advice and the successful result.
