Knight Frank has appointed a new head of its Western Sydney office as the region continues to experience strong growth.

Phill Rockliff will start at the firm in the role of Partner, Head of Western Sydney. In addition to heading up the office, he will also work in Knight Frank’s Asset Management Services team (AMS), servicing existing clients and building new relationships to grow the firm’s AMS business in Western Sydney.

A property industry stalwart, Mr Rockliff has more than 25 years’ experience, having worked with some of Australia’s largest property groups, both on the agency and client sides.

He has previously held senior roles at Jones Lang LaSalle, Colliers, Valad, Toga, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield and most recently, Lendlease, where he was a Senior Investment Manager for three and a half years.

Knight Frank Managing Director NSW & ACT Paul Roberts said Phill’s appointment was an exciting one for the firm, and would position Knight Frank well for the ongoing growth in Western Sydney.

“Over a quarter of a century Phill has developed significant experience, expertise and relationships through working with many of the key players in property in both Australia and Internationally.

“In providing strategic property advice, he has been particularly adept at identifying areas to maximise property returns and values through all stages of the property cycle.

“In this role Phill will work with our clients in AMS, in addition to leading our Western Sydney office including through an office relocation and upcoming team expansion.

“His background and experience will benefit our clients, as well as providing our key Sydney office with many expansion opportunities.”

Mr Rockliff said he was looking forward to working at Knight Frank and growing the Western Sydney office.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to grow a full service agency business in Greater Western Sydney via exemplary service to clients and strong support to our team,” he said.

“Western Sydney is thriving due to the significant investment and major infrastructure upgrades, including the upcoming Western Sydney International Airport, which will serve as a major transport hub, increasing accessibility and the region’s growth potential.”
