CBRE appoints new Pacific head of capital markets

Flint Davidson has been promoted to the role of CBRE’s new head of capital markets in the Pacific. Joining the company’s Pacific executive committee, Davidson has been with CBRE since 1997 and has been leading the Pacific capital markets office business for the past five years.

Phil Rowland, CBRE CEO for Pacific advisory services remarks: “Following an extensive internal and external search, Flint was the standout candidate to lead our world-class capital markets team.”

As head of the CBRE capital markets team, Davidson will continue working on office deals while broadening his scope to the other key aspects of the business. In 2022, CBRE topped the MSCI Real Assets rankings in Australia with a market share of 28.4%.

Some of the transactions which were brokered by Davidson include the A$1.15 billion (roughly $1.03 billion) acquisition of a 49.9% stake in Investa Gateway Offices by Link REIT, the A$1.025 billion sale of a 50% stake in Melbourne’s Southern Cross Towers, and the A$925 million sale of a half-share in Sydney’s Grosvenor Place.
