26: Global Office Market Insights - Europe to Australia

In this episode of Precisely Property, we dive into the state of the European commercial office market and uncover what Australia can learn from its experience. Tom Duncan from Stoneweg-Icona shares valuable insights on current trends shaping the European market, including yields, pricing, tenant demand, supply dynamics and the growing impact of ESG requirements. He also explores the risks and opportunities that lie ahead for office markets in Europe and how these lessons can inform Australia’s outlook. With shifting tenant expectations, changing work patterns and evolving investment strategies, this conversation sheds light on how the office sector is transforming globally and what this means for local investors and developers.

At the time of the conversation in June, Tom Duncan led group-level initiatives across real assets and alternatives for Stoneweg-Icona’s AU$16 billion global platform and was based in London. Since then, he has taken a new role at Brisbane-based Sentinel Property Group. With two decades of experience in office investment strategy, he has held senior research, strategy and product roles in Australia and Europe with organisations including Cromwell Property Group, JLL, Colliers International and Swiss Life. At Stoneweg, Tom supported the strategic positioning of its AU$2.3 billion European office portfolio, focusing on both core and value-add assets. At Sentinel, he will use his experience to expand their investor base and grow their $2 billion AUM which includes the recent $132 million office acquisition in the heart of the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Precinct. Recognised as a thought-leader on thematic and structural changes in the office market, Tom brings a global perspective on how the sector is evolving.

If you’re looking to understand the future of office markets, both in Europe and here in Australia, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
