Beach Road Enterprises - Private owner whom purchased a mixed use office/retail building which had a large focus on entertainment in the Canberra CBD. The asset was never managed by Colliers International previously and was in a bad place before our appointment.

50 Bunda Street, Civic

As  you would  be aware we purchased 50 Bunda  Street in May 2017, nearly  12  months ago.

On the surface it appeared to be a 100% tenanted building  with no issues.

What   we  uncovered  just  below  the  surface  was  a  multitude   or  significant  issues. Including but not limited to tenants squatting on common  property,  tenants setting  up commercial kitchens in office tenancies as well as a number  of other major headaches.

Additionally over the last 9 months you have  both  take my telephone  calls  at all times and  have  gone  above  and  beyond  to  accommodate  our needs,  discuss  issues  and provide advice and provide access to the building.

Jason,  Nick. Brian  and I   could not have begun  to sweep up the mess without both  your hard work and perseverance.

I   was  onsite yesterday and the building  was  spotless,  tenants  are  paying  their  rent on time  and only utilising  land  that is assigned to them.  This is a major achievement in  9 odd months.

We  thank  you  both for your hard work  over the  last  9 months and  look  forward to working with you  both  to complete  this buildings transformation into one  of the most iconic inner city buildings,  complete with rooftop  bar!

I    would  be  pleased  to  speak  with any  of your colleagues or  prospective  clients  to reiterate what an outstanding job you are both doing at 50 Bunda Street.
