Flatiron - Through Networked Eyes
I thought I’d start with a small skyscraper in New York where I have been exchanging communications with my friends, Sunny Atis and Courtney Adham of GFP Real Estate.
Living by the Park
How valuable has the local park become as a result and not just because of the views? Access or park adjacency as we call it in the Living by the Park Knight Frank report, examines the premiums paid in five of the global cities.
Central Park or Sydney Harbour
If you want to pick one city to understand property then, for me it has to be New York with London next in line. Both are the leading international cities which attract the big business, state of the art property development and the highest paid jobs. Knight Frank rates these cities as 1 and 2 most important global cities in its annual Wealth Report
The Vessel
The Vessel is the centrepiece of Hudson Yards. The eight storey 46m tall Thomas Heatherwick designed, shiny copper coloured beehive shaped staircase brings tourists. In fact probably about 8 million of them straight off the Highline.
NYC Takes Good Food to New Heights
I visited Dominique Ansel New York where the kitchen and food display are the priority. Patrons are welcome to spend time standing against the glass counter, browsing the most skilfully crafted desserts but when you’re ready to eat, the game goes vertical. In NYC space is a premium and as a result the tables at Dominique Ansel have gone upwards.
Oculus, The Station You Want To Stop At
“Oculus” is a much needed and celebrated transport infrastructure hub at the World Trade Centre in downtown Manhattan. It combines the latest transport centre and station hub with a shopping mall. Built at a cost of $4 billion, it comprises about 75,000m2 of retail space, in over 50 shops, including a two storey Apple store.
Amazon Looks to The Past, Moving Forward
What a change it is then to witness Amazon Books, where this monster retailing activity started is now returning to the past by embracing old style retailing. Amazon has now entered the “bricks and mortar” retail property market with plans to expand. They now sell books out of a classic book shop adding their 7th store at the Time Warner Centre on Columbus Circle in New York.
Cities Driving the US in 2018
The US global cities are prosperous and there are new industries evolving. The stock market leaders are evidence of a new breed of business and entrepreneur. These are the FAANG heavyweights – Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google. These businesses are embracing technology as leaders, with pioneering spirit and a thirst to be the best and the biggest.
Hudson Yards Takes A Bite of The Big Apple
Rarely does one project redefine a city. For this to occur in New York, the capital of capital, such a project must be significant. This project is Hudson Yards.
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.
Property Advisory
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.

“The Commercial Salesperson award is a great testament to Kymbal’s dedication and experience as one of Sydney’s leading agents. This recognition, being judged as a finalist in six categories, signifies the growing strength and determination of the overall Knight Frank business in NSW.”
