In Australia's 2023 May budget, the government announced 1.5 million in net migration for the country over five years to help revive a stalling economy. CBRE's in-house budget analysis had experts evaluating this as a huge number of people to accommodate.It's this sentiment which leads perfectly into this week's Talking Property episode which explores Australia's build-to-rent (BTR) sector in detail - blocks of apartments that are specifically built to be leased rather than sold to individual owners. As an emerging asset class, BTR has been attracting significant interest from both local and offshore investors as well as garnering plenty of industry attention as one part of a bigger solution to alleviating the country's housing and rental crisis.With 30,000 apartments operating or in the pipeline across the country, there's big potential with forecasts the BTR sector could grow to as many as 150,000 apartments within 10 years.To understand the diversity of benefits, challenges and future market outlook for BTR in Australia, CBRE's Pacific Communications Director, Kathryn House, talks exclusively to Mirvac's Fund Manager and BTR Sector Lead, Angela Buckley, alongside CBRE Pacific's Head of Living Sectors Capital Markets business, Andrew Purdon.If you have any questions from this episode or property topics that you'd like CBRE to answer in future episodes, please email us at: talkingproperty@cbre.com.

We're going to chat about how Friska Wirya went from entrepreneurial newbie with $0 in the bank to international keynote speaker, fuelled by a trial and error approach to her marketing mixed with a highly intentional brand. Friska and I first met at a Mys Tyler x Mirvac collaboration last year for their Spring Fashion Campaign, where stylists and Mys Tyler fashion contributors were hosting talks throughout their key shopping centres.

A walking billboard (#oldschoolmarketing) for her brand presence and image consulting work.

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be?“Do you really wanna take over the family business? Succession is not always going to work out how you think.”__________Cecily McGuckin is a trailblazer. As the first and only female CEO in Australia's steel distribution industry, she is passionate about driving change in her industry and her family owned business, Queensland Sheet and Steel (QSS).Cecily began her career in finance but quickly stumbled upon an area she enjoyed so much more - construction development management. She cut her construction teeth at leading companies like Suncorp and Mirvac, where she gained a wealth of experience in the day-to-day running of big business and the delivery of large scale projects, before then joining the family business her father started 33 years ago. No one was more surprised than Cecily when her father asked her to take over running the family business. A business he had built up from scratch at a time when the steel industry was no place for a woman. “Woman don't work here, and they never will” were words Cecily's father told her growing up…and yet, today Cec has been the CEO of QSS coming up six years. And whilst she's proven her Dad wrong - that many woman work at QSS today - Cec is still the only female CEO in the wholesale sheet distribution business in AustraliaI've known Cec for quite a while and she's a gun. Incredibly resiliant (as you'll hear), she's a problem solver and out of the box thinker. As a woman in a man's world she has needed to prove herself time and time again. Not just to her peers, customers and her staff, but to her father who started the business from nothing and he's struggled letting it go as it really is his third child. Cec is a down to earth, straight-shooter and I know you'll love this conversation as much as I enjoyed having her on the show. For more information about Cecily, check out these places;- Instagram: @cec_mcguckinWebsite: qss.net.auLinkedin: Cecily McGuckinHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today's guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you'd love people to talk more about, or know someone who'd be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;- hello@michellejcox.com

On this latest episode of How to Build a Better World, our managing editor Tina Perinotto talks to Mathew Nelson – the first Oceania chief sustainability officer at EY – about what's getting big Fortune 500 companies ticking on the climate question.For someone at the big end of town, leading the sustainability team at a company that's 300,000 strong globally, he's remarkably down to earth and happy to share practical insights into the big questions around our transition to low or zero carbon and what's getting in the way.Clients are larger businesses – ASX200 listed, NZ 50 listed or globally, fortune 500s – all big household names like BHP, Santos, Origin Energy, Mirvac, Stockland, and CSL. That larger reach – coupled with the fact he's been at the company for 20 years – means he's able to see the broader trends in the ESG and climate space.Produced by: Rose Mary Petrass, Poppy JohnstonThe Fifth Estate website: www.thefifthestate.com.auTwitter: @FifthEstateAUFacebook: www.facebook.com/thefifthestateAu LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/the-fifth-estate Support The Fifth Estate: thefifthestate.com.au/support-us Sign up to the newsletter: https://thefifthestate.com.au/subscribe

Our Curious and Fabulous Guest Nathy Gaffney has had what can be politely termed a ‘diverse portfolio career'. A professional actor and comedy/cabaret performer for over twenty years, she's also spent time working behind bars (and drinking in them), waiting on tables (and dancing on them), being a nightclub door bitch, barista and celebrity impersonator. These days she's traded treading the boards for the boardroom, working as an executive coach and speaker with Phuel Australia where she still enjoys a captive audience – albeit minus the feathers and sequins. Her new role sees her working with major senior executives from organisations such as Westpac, Mirvac, Bupa, Lendlease, Ventia, Thales, Facebook, Ogilvy PR amongst others, in areas of leadership development, resilience, communication, innovation and mindset. She is the creator of “Curious Explorer” – a 90 minute interactive keynote which examines the links between curiosity, well-being and longevity. Nathy is a champion for women in the workplace having designed ‘Wayfinder' – a programme for early career, high potential women to step into their power in their careers. Her first book ‘The Gap Year(s)' – a memoir about her the end of her marriage, descent into bankruptcy and finding love in the arms of a mountain climber 20 years her junior, was published in 2019. Her second book ‘The Confidence Maze' - a personal development book aimed at building confidence for young women is due to be published later this year. She is the host of the ‘Suck It & See' Podcast – which explores life's messy mistakes through the lenses of hope, humour and neuroscience. Nathy lives wedged between the city and the sea in Sydney's eastern suburbs, with her teenage son and high altitude mountaneering partner.

Timestamps: [02:20] Jonathan: Talk us through your career and tell us how you ended up at Taronga Ventures? My career started in China, I did my post-grad at a Chinese University and I started doing Urban Planning and from there I stumbled into real estate working for a Singaporean firm in China (one the first VC funds in that markert).  After working in VC, I started at Savills and I have now been in real estate for the last 25 years.  I then worked for Abu Dhabi Investment Authority before moving on to ING Real Estate Finance and most recently Mirvac. [04:30] Joanna: Can you tell us about your 15 years in real estate?  I started at Harvard studying neuroscience. Investment banks, consulting companies and banks love Ivy league kids with science degrees so I went to work at KeyBank Real Estate Capital where we did the structural and financial side of real estate.   I decided I wanted to be an entrepreneur and started a small fund where we bought multifamily assets, refurbished them and started a property management company to do that.  I arrived in Australia at 30, with a failed business and a banking career so I started working on strategy at DEXUS Property Group.  I was more interested in the cutting edge and at Lendlease I was doing transformation and innovation, moving further up the R and D curve. [07:20] Joanna: What are investors honing in on when it comes to innovation?  We have a broad innovation strategy. Advanced analytics and data underpins all of it.  One of the ways of innovating is to take on startups and scaleups and integrate new technologies.  Data and analytics sit under everything that we do.  [09:20] Jonathan: You are currently running an ESG impact program, can you talk us through the program and the mission of it?  We needed to have both the fund and a growth program.  The ESG program is for select high calibre quality companies We needed to move up to the scalable businesses who already had customers and they had some level of traction because the real estate world actually couldn't deal with startups.  It is an ecosystem builder.  [13:00] Joanna: With ESG, it is difficult to get good data from it as well as finding technology to support it. What is your take on this?  Historically in real estate, the industry has been extremely opaque. There's been huge information asymmetry and that's resulted in a massive lack of transparency.  The information asymmetries are breaking down and what's happening is we're starting to be able to abstract data from other industries and from other data sets in order to back solve and fill in data that the real estate industry either doesn't have or is not sharing.  The pressure from the investors and the capital regarding ESG is forcing a level of transparency and scrutiny that is going to become akin to financial reporting.   [15:35] On the topic of investment going into the real estate space and ESG, are there any technologies which you guys can share?  For the last 12 months, every investor and every discussion has been about ESG.   In the building management, energy efficiency space, there are a lot of Companies that are targeting that as an area, but we are looking for a more complete solution.  It often isn't a cost, it's actually a benefit and an upside for the corporates that start using this technique [18:30] Joanna: Are there any major trends that you have seen in the real estate space?  The move from the point solutions to something that is more of a holistic ecosystem as well as the blending of the technologies together. Some technologies simplify a part of something but causes so much extra exhaustion. [21:25] How do we attract and retain more people into the real estate and data world?  The first thing is to know that it is possible.  In terms of diversity, I think it is about honouring diversity of thought and innovation.  [24:40] Jonathan: What are your thoughts on this, knowing that you are in the hiring process?  What we've tried to do from within our advisory board and from our hiring policy, is to have the most diverse approach hiring that we can have.  When we've looked through the businesses that we are investing in, we often see that it is male founded.   We're doing a lot of work to try to positively fund female founded enterprises.   [29:35] Have you seen any change happening when it comes down to education and exploring technology as a career path? Jonathan: I moved from Australia from Sweden, and in Sweden there is just a different approach. We have systematic issues in Australia when it comes to childcare.  Joanna: I think there is a lack of how to even do this and things like how to raise capital. [32:30] Jonathan: What is next for Taronga?  In the next three months we will be churning through hundreds of deals to work out the partners for the ESG program. [33:25] Joanna: What is exciting that is coming up?  The data, analytics and advanced analytics of ESG and the ecosystem around that.  Giving the power back to the people  where you no longer have to big IT for innovation.  [35:50] The ‘LMRE' part, Louisa asks the guests to talk about;  L – Touch on the main lessons you have learnt throughout your career. Jonathan: Decision-making in the corporate real estate world takes longer and you need to build your business to be able to withstand that challenge. Joanna: Be really resourceful and find a way. M - Please give a mention to anyone / product / service. Jonathan: SPACECUBE Joanna: William Cosby - Ex Omina   R – What has been the most rewarding aspect of working in PropTech? Jonathan: The people Joanna: Partnering E - What are you excited about in the future of PropTech? Joanna: Distilling down to the fundamental set of data points.

Today, we continue the conversation with the first and only female CEO in Australia's steel distribution industry. Cecily McGuckin initially built her career in retail development construction, never really seeing the family business that her Dad had run for over 25 years as an option.  Working for Suncorp and Mirvac before having her three kids, she eventually joined her father a decade ago at Queensland Sheet and Steel.She has scaled her fathers “hand shake deal business” into a formidable player in the industry: recently winning the National CEO of the Year Award for 2020.  Believing that people are a company's greatest asset, she continues to use gut instinct and emotional intelligence to move her business and the industry into 2021 and beyond.Thanks Cecily for taking time to share your leadership experience with our audience.The Goods on Cecily:Cecily McGuckin, the first and only female CEO in Australia's steel distribution industry, she is passionate about driving change in her industry and her family owned business, Queensland Sheet and Steel (QSS) as it enters 34 years in business. Cecily began her career in finance but quickly stumbled upon an area she enjoyed so much more. Construction development management. Roles at leading companies including Suncorp and Mirvac, followed where she gained a wealth of experience in the day-to-day running of big business and the delivery of large scale projects.It's these experiences that helped shape the leader Cecily is today – a problem solver and out of the box thinker. Cecily is also resilient. As a woman in a man's world she has needed to prove herself time and time again. Not just to her peers and her staff, but her father who started the business from nothing. Cecily credits her emotional intelligence and gut instincts as the key drivers behind her success as a CEO. Not to mention her willingness to take a breath and calmly find the right moment to create conversations that generate results.Contact Cecily:         Website: https://qss.net.au/about-us/          LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/cecily-cec-mcguckin-93b99a29         Top 100 Women: https://www.top100women.com.au/cecily-mcguckin/  Go to http://www.bit.ly/InTheGamePodcast to become part of this growing community of DREAMERS!

Episode 8 is a fascinating conversation with Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz, CEO of one of Australia's most significant developers Mirvac. She is also Chair of the Green Building Council of Australia and is passionate about sustainability and social inclusion – running her company accordingly. Susan discusses the way in which Mirvac was able to pivot their business operations as a result of the pandemic and how remarkably resilient her team and the wider business was in the face of this unforeseen challenge. She is an advocate for innovation within the real estate sector, and voices her belief that work is what you do, not where you are.Susan and Tim also dissect how people will use their workspaces moving forward and the concept that cities are very much in the process of remaking themselves, with CBDs perhaps reframing to a more mixed use, 24/7 city or even, as some think, a ‘central experience district'. They also touch on the housing affordability crisis of such significance in most cities today.At the same time this episode launches, one of Mirvac's buildings, Olderfleet, designed by Grimshaw, has been selected as the winner of the Office – Completed Buildings category at the World Architecture Festival 2021 Awards.

Henry McDonald interviews Gavin Tonnet of utecture about city-changing urban renewal projects and transformational virtual pre-construction technology.Who is Gavin Tonnet?Gavin is a recognised expert and leader in the property space having created and led businesses for Mirvac, Leighton, Stockland and Japanese giant, Sekisui House. He was responsible for many significant city-changing urban renewal projects. He has been involved and led over USD$20b of major renewal. Some of those that really changed and shaped city fabric and culture include:Sydney Olympic Village (Newington) SydneyWalsh Bay Redevelopment SydneyPerth City Link PerthGreen Square SydneyJacksons Landing SydneyLiverpool Civic Place SydneyWhat is utecture?He's now turned his attention to utecture which is carving out a new category in building technology that uses digitisation, visualisation and data to lower costs for builders and consumers and drive climate impact.After being introduced to the team behind the utecture technology, Gavin spent the better part of the year travelling around the world trying to poke holes in it.Instead, he realised that there were no holes to poke and he joined the team because he believed it is the next big thing with ramifications not only for the commercial health of the building industry, the well-being of the house-buying public, but also our shared environmental future.utecture is carving out a new construction technology category called Virtual Pre-Construction. Virtual Pre-Construction requires digital twinning technology to deliver on four distinct pillars: Design, Real-time Pricing; Visualisation and Management.Existing construction design platforms share some of utecture's features superficially, but compared to utecture they are basically only cosmetic tools. They use CAD design window-dressing, but fail to address the significant pain points that have held back the construction industry for years.Pete The Builder talks aboutThe Tool RevolutionPete talks to Steve Randall about tools and how they have evolved since his early days working in construction. As always, Pete injects plenty of knowledge with his unique sense of humour.Discover more about this and other episodes on the Constructive Voices website.
