History

Formed in August 2001, the Bennelong Property Funds Management (PFM) team is focused on managing commercial property assets outside the central business districts of Australia's eastern state capitals.

Active management, coupled with a focus on maximising tenant satisfaction and retention through the provision of quality accommodation, continue to cement Bennelong as a premier property fund manager of suburban commercial property in Australia.

Management philosophy

The team's management philosophy aims to ensure maximum tenant retention through the provision of properties that continue to meet tenants' satisfaction and business needs. One of the key tenets of this philosophy is exceptional building presentation.

This philosophy of proactive tenant management has been promoted to all outsourced service providers as a key part of their agreements with the funds and is the driver of all capital expenditure and programmed maintenance across both portfolios.
