Belle Property’s Commercial division, an arm of Australia’s premium real estate network, is thrilled to announce its expansion into Sydney’s North Shore with a new office in Lane Cove.

Belle Property Commercial North Shore will be led by Principal Baxter van Heyst, who brings more than 10 years of experience in the property sector and will lead an accomplished team of commercial property professionals. 

Baxter’s experience specialising in commercial leasing and sales across both city and regional NSW markets, and his long-standing connection to the North Shore, having spent much of his life in the area, gives him a deep understanding of the local market and community.

The North Shore market is renowned for its mix of highly sought-after residential properties and thriving commercial hubs. The area appeals to families, young professionals, and downsizers due to its excellent transport connectivity, vibrant community, and diverse amenities.

This unique combination contributes to the stability and ongoing demand for residential and commercial assets.

The newly established Belle Property Commercial North Shore office aims to distinguish itself from the competition by offering clients a unique advantage through its deep knowledge and specialised approach.

An example of Baxter’s expertise is the successful sale of a childcare centre, which achieved an impressive cap rate of 3.4%. His success stems from strategic negotiation and a deep understanding of the asset class, demonstrating the ability to achieve premium outcomes. 

“I aim to establish the new office as a leader in commercial sales and leasing by delivering outstanding client service and innovative marketing strategies. I want the office to be known for its dedication to achieving the best results, fostering long-term relationships, and maintaining a reputation for excellence and integrity,” Baxter said.

“Belle Property Commercial’s emphasis on quality, collaboration, and achieving exceptional results align perfectly with my approach to real estate, and I’m excited to be part of the team.”

Despite broader economic challenges, the local market has remained stable, with renewed activity as businesses return to work and seek prime locations. Baxter and his team have noted that recent interest indicates increasing confidence and market data highlights the area's resilience and continued attractiveness to investors and tenants. 

Commenting on the opening of the new office, Belle Property Commercial Associate Director Benjamin Congiusta stated, “Baxter’s extensive experience in the commercial real estate sector makes him the ideal leader for our new office on the North Shore.

"His proven track record in commercial leasing and sales positions him perfectly to drive our vision forward, and we are confident that he will elevate our service offering and exceed the evolving needs of our clients.”

Baxter van Heyst and his experienced team of professionals are now based at Belle Property North Shore, providing expert commercial property services to the North Shore of Sydney and its surrounding areas.
