CBRE has appointed Flint Davidson as its new Head of Capital Markets in Pacific.

Mr Davidson, who also joins the company’s Pacific Executive Committee, commenced his career with CBRE in 1997 and has led CBRE’s Pacific Capital Markets Office business for the past five years.

“Following an extensive internal and external search, Flint was the standout candidate to lead our world-class Capital Markets team,” said Phil Rowland, CBRE CEO, Pacific Advisory Services.

“He’s an incredible broker who is focused on client outcomes and has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of our business, the market and our customers. 

“We are excited about the future growth potential for our Capital Markets business under Flint’s leadership and have deep confidence in his ability to further strengthen our capability to serve our clients’ needs.”

Mr Davidson has brokered many of Australia’s biggest and most significant office transactions, including last year’s $1.15 billion Investa Gateway deal, the $1.025 billion sale of a 50% stake in Melbourne’s Southern Cross Towers and the $925 million sale of a half-share in Sydney’s Grosvenor Place.

He will continue to remain very active with clients, including transacting major office deals, while extending his focus to other key parts of CBRE’s Capital Markets business, which topped the MSCI Real Assets rankings in Australia in 2022 with a market share of 28.4%.

“I’m pleased to enter this next chapter of my career, leading CBRE’s Pacific Capital Markets business,” Mr Davidson said.

“I already know how strong a team we have, as evidenced by the latest MSCI Real Assets data that has CBRE in first place in Australia and Pacific, and atop five of the seven Capital Markets categories in Australia, headlined by Office, Industrial and Hotels. 

“I’m looking forward to working more closely with the broader Capital Markets team, to bring together our diverse and industry leading offering to assist our clients to navigate the current environment.”
