Sydney, 29 February 2016 – CBRE’s Western Sydney Office team has recruited leading property professional Ben Lalic to the role of Director, Western Sydney Office Services.
Mr Lalic has joined CBRE after 10 years at Colliers International, where he was most recently Director of Office Leasing in the firm’s Parramatta office.
He will work alongside Office Services Director Stephen Panagiotopoulos, in a move that adds further firepower to the firm’s Western Sydney businesses.
CBRE Managing Director, Western Sydney & South Sydney, Frank Oliveri said the focus on growing the team was a key part of the firm’s strategy to become the most experienced and leading team in the office sector.
“The recruitment of Ben Lalic further strengthens our Office Services offering in the Parramatta CBD and greater Western Sydney market, allowing us to deliver real advantage to clients.”
“The appointment reflects the strong fundamentals in Parramatta’s office market, with vacancy continuing on a downward trend and A-Grade vacancy currently the tightest in the country,” said Mr Oliveri.
The recruitment follows the announcement that three of Australia’s leading office leasing professionals, Mark Semple, John Hickey and Mark Lacey, would be joining CBRE’s Office Services team. Mr Hickey and Mr Lacey are joining CBRE in the newly created roles of Regional Director – Joint Head of Major Projects Australia, whilst Mr Semple has been appointed as a Director.
