Imploding Office Fundamentals Up Ahead
When you think of real estate comprising land and improvements, you think of wealth creation, especially in Australia where so many billionaires have made their wealth off the back of real estate. So, it’s hard to talk about something failing and even harder for Australians to imagine failure being long term.
Deciphering Berkshire Hathaway's 2020 Investment Strategy
Berkshire Hathaway comprises 97 different businesses with collectively 397,000 employees. Its book value is US $370 billion, asset value double that yet just 25 people manage the entire operations.
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.
It’s Always Sunny at the Flatiron Building
At the top of his game is Sunny Atis. Sunny runs New York’s iconic, Flatiron building. He loves his job which now spans 30 years at the Flatiron and is admired & trusted by the building occupants, the building owners and the contractors.
The Ultimate Brand Ambassador
Meet Sean Marshall, Brand Ambassador for Hudson Yards, 900,00m2 office development plus residential apartments and retail and lifestyle spaces. It is Barangaroo on steroids, located on the far west side of Manhattan fronting Hudson River.
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.
What’s Happening in the US in 2018?
I travel to the US each year and spend a week working in New York and a week in San Francisco. Why? Because these two cities set the pace in global real estate and business respectively. I observe & learn about what makes them tick so I can determine if there are opportunities in Australia, particularly in our global cities, Sydney and Melbourne.
Is the Booth Back?
A booth provides collaboration but with a sense of privacy, which is what is so appealing. People like to be around others but still have an element of separation and sound proofing. Booths with Audio Visual display capabilities are very popular within fitouts now. They provide the perfect setting for an informal meeting of up to 4 people, often internally. They allow meeting spaces to be cost effective as opposed to providing built meeting rooms, which would also require air conditioning – Win win

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.
