– JLL has been ranked as the leading investment advisory firm in Australia for 2020. According to data analysed and published by Real Capital Analytics (RCA), JLL advised on the most transactions, as measured in dollar value, in Australia. In 2020, JLL was also ranked the leading investor advisor by RCA across the office, retail, industrial and hotels sectors.
"Australia's economy and commercial real estate market faced unprecedented challenges in 2020, but also firmly established its status as one of the world's most resilient property sectors. Our clients remain active in this key market and we foresee our relationships deepening in 2021 as capital deployment accelerates further," said Fergal G Harris, Head of Capital Markets, Australia, JLL.
"This achievement is testament to the hard work, creativity and tenacity through a very challenging year, which ensured we continue to be acknowledged as the leading real estate advisor in Australia," said Mr Harris.
Capital allocation to Australia's industrial & logistics sector is expected to continue to grow in 2021, as the sector has consistently delivered comparatively higher average returns than those generated overseas, and has shown low volatility of returns through the current cycle relative to other commercial property sectors.
