Lease Equity

There’s nothing better than hearing that a client felt genuinely supported throughout a transaction.

We recently helped a client sell their commercial property in Kalgoorlie, and we’re incredibly grateful for the feedback they shared about their experience with Jim, Helena and the Lease Equity team.

For us, a successful outcome isn’t just about getting the deal done. It’s about clear communication, strong market knowledge, protecting our client’s interests and making sure every party feels supported throughout the process.

Thank you to our client for trusting us with the sale and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback.

YOU MIGHT SEE THE MAIN EVENT. WE SEE EVERYTHING HAPPENING AROUND IT | AFL Grand Final

With Fremantle preparing for up to 40,000 people across the city for Saturday’s AFL Grand Final, the impact will extend well beyond the final siren.

Packed hospitality venues. Increased foot traffic. Longer dwell times. Thousands of people spending across the precinct.

For commercial property, major events demonstrate the increasingly important relationship between eventing, visitation and retail performance.

Events create concentrated periods of foot traffic that flow directly into surrounding cafés, restaurants, bars and retailers. But their impact can go further — introducing new audiences to a precinct and changing the way people experience and engage with a place.

We’ve seen this across Perth.

Optus Stadium has changed the way people move through and experience Burswood, while RAC Arena continues to draw significant visitation into the C*D, supporting surrounding hospitality and retail before and after events.

This weekend, Fremantle gets its moment.

And that’s the bigger commercial property conversation.

The strongest retail precincts are no longer defined by tenancy mix alone. Eventing, entertainment, transport, public realm and hospitality all contribute to visitation, dwell time and spend — and ultimately tenant and asset performance.

You might see a game of football.

We see 40,000 people experiencing a retail precinct.

Cottesloe’s coastal strip has welcomed another local operator, with Drip House now open at 110 Marine Parade.

What makes Cottesloe unique is not the scale of its retail offer, but its character. Unlike many leading coastal destinations globally, where national and international brands dominate the frontage, Cottesloe has retained a distinctly local identity — shaped by a tightly held collection of bespoke, high-quality hospitality and retail operators.

Drip House is a natural addition to that mix, bringing a considered specialty coffee offer to one of WA’s most tightly held coastal precincts.

Lease Equity has a long history working across Perth’s coastal retail strips, from Cottesloe and Scarborough to Hillarys Boardwalk, giving our team a strong understanding of how each precinct differs and the operators that complement them.

With 120–122 Marine Parade recently launched to market, we’re looking forward to continuing to play a role in the evolution of Cottesloe’s unique retail landscape.

Congratulations to the Drip House team on the opening.

THE FACES BEHIND OUR LEASING TEAM

With Western Australia’s largest dedicated retail leasing team, Lease Equity brings together a depth of experience and market coverage that sets us apart.

Jim Tsagalis | James Hopkins | Jared Dimbleby | Simon Wells I Helena Tsagalis | Ethan Corneille

Our team works across a broad spectrum of commercial property, from greenfield retail and mixed-use developments, major shopping centres and prime C*D flagship locations, through to high street retail and commercial office leasing.

Collectively, the team has extensive experience negotiating with local, national and international occupiers, providing our clients with deep market knowledge, strong tenant relationships and an active understanding of where demand is coming from.

While retail leasing remains a significant strength of our business, our capability extends across the broader commercial property market, with Lease Equity providing leasing, sales, asset management and strategic property advice across Western Australia.

One team. Broad capability. Unmatched retail leasing depth.

NOW OPEN | QBD BOOKS, HAY STREET MALL

A new chapter for Hay Street Mall.

Lease Equity is pleased to announce the opening of QBD Books’ first Perth C*D store, bringing another major national retailer to the heart of the city.

The opening comes at an important time for the C*D’s retail mix. Following the recent closure of Boffins Books after 37 years of trading, QBD’s arrival strengthens the city’s book and specialty retail offering and introduces greater choice into a category that has become increasingly limited within the retail core.

More broadly, Hay Street Mall is entering an exciting period of reinvestment and change. Major projects including the Carillon City precinct and $240 million St Martins redevelopment are set to reshape key parts of the city’s traditional retail heart, alongside continued investment and new leasing activity across the C*D.

Lease Equity continues to be highly active across the Perth C*D, working with landlords and retailers across a number of city assets — with several new deals and openings to be announced over the coming weeks.

QBD Books is now open at 675 Hay Street Mall, Perth.

Medical is no longer just a complementary use within shopping centres, it's becoming a strategic anchor.

Strong healthcare operators provide stable occupancy, consistent weekday visitation and help drive spending across the wider centre.

As customer expectations evolve, integrating retail, healthcare and essential services is creating more resilient, community-focused destinations across Western Australia.

For landlords, it's another reminder that the right tenant mix is key to long-term precinct performance.

WELCOME TO THE TEAM | SIMON WELLS

Lease Equity is pleased to announce the appointment of Simon Wells as Senior Leasing Executive.

Simon brings extensive experience across both landlord and tenant-side roles, further strengthening the depth of senior expertise and market intelligence within our leasing team.

His background includes working with retail brands including Paspaley and, most recently, Betts Group, complemented by significant landlord-side experience leasing retail shopping centre portfolios.

This combination provides Simon with a well-rounded understanding of both sides of the leasing equation and a strong commercial perspective on tenant strategy, deal negotiation and asset performance.

Simon will work across Lease Equity’s sub-regional and shopping centre portfolio, providing our clients with experienced, strategic leasing advice focused on driving long-term asset value.

We are delighted to welcome Simon to the team

Before Myer, David Jones and shopping centres, these four department stores defined retail in Perth.

Boans, Ahern's, Bairds and Foy & Gibson weren't just places to shop, they were destinations. They introduced generations of Western Australians to city shopping, Christmas traditions and some of Perth's most recognisable commercial buildings.

Many of the locations they occupied continue to play an important role in Perth's retail landscape today, highlighting how commercial property continually evolves while remaining deeply connected to its history.

Which department store do you remember most?

LEASED & NOW OPEN | Six Streets, 140 William Street, Perth

Lease Equity is pleased to announce the opening of Six Streets at 140 William Street, the latest concept from the operators behind Perth favourite, Six Senses Thai.

Marking their second Six Streets venue, the new restaurant brings a modern take on Thai street food to the Perth C*D, complemented by a bold and contemporary fit-out.

Six Streets is the latest addition to Cbus Property’s 140 precinct, further strengthening its hospitality offering alongside favourites including Light Years, Grill’d, Nando’s, Bocelli Espresso, Ribs & Burgers and BamBamBoo.

Located in the heart of the C*D, at the corner of Murray Street Mall, William Street & Wellington Street, 140 continues to evolve as a vibrant retail and dining destination, bringing together food, retail, art and public spaces within one of Perth’s most recognisable precincts.

Congratulations to all parties involved, and to the Six Streets team on the opening of their newest venue.
