Financing Great Places: Reducing risk, increasing profit and generating more value over the long term.
Key players in property finance discussed the question: can banks and other financial institutions reduce risk and increase returns by thinking more about the development strategy of the places they are financing?
- How can development strategy maximise the value created and sustained?
- What are the interdependencies between attracting tenants, residents, workers, and shoppers so that asset values are sustained?
- Does ‘normal’ market driven development deliver optimum outcomes or strategically planned precincts?
- How might banks structure their finance to recognise the development strategy of a precinct an its value to individual projects?
The session was facilitated by LEON GETTLER, Business Journalist.
The discussion panel included:
- RUSSELL WALLEY, Vice President Property, Commonwealth Bank of Australia
- SAUL ESLAKE, Program Director, Productivity Growth at the Grattan Institute (former Chief Economist of ANZ)
- ADRIAN POZZO, Chief Executive Officer, Cbus Property
