Project Management

“Project management is not just about delivery; it’s about the journey you go on to develop and achieve the best solution and outcome for clients. It’s up to the project manager to ensure the right solution is implemented while meeting each clients’ unique needs and making that journey as seamless as possible. I am lucky that the Knight Frank Australia project management team are perfect partners that bring insight, knowledge and experience to the table to ensure a successful outcome for all clients.”
Mark Blinco, Partner, National Head of Project Management

Our team provide occupier and investor clients with end-to-end project management, development and consultancy services to help them achieve their Australian real estate goals. We pride ourselves on our ability to align with our clients’ needs and are always looking for unique and adaptable solutions to project outcomes. Our national team of industry-leading project managers cover all geographic regions, including CBD, metro and regional, and allow us to work where many of our competitors do not, meaning we can provide a truly unique portfolio and program delivery approach for clients with diverse portfolios that are looking for a true partner in real estate around project delivery.

We do not see our role on a project to simply manage a process like many of our competitors do, we are passionate about ensuring that we provide full project and real estate advisory services under the Knight Frank banner so we can support our clients, adding value at every step of the way and always putting our clients interest first.

Our national team have an extensive track record across multiple asset classes including workplace, commercial and industrial, residential, retail, life sciences, education, government and specialist projects such as broadcast facilities and data centres. It’s the experience we bring from all our clients globally that allows us to be agile in our solution delivery, and we don’t adopt a one size fits all solution to delivery.

Listening is good, but truly understanding what our clients want is better.

“I can’t thank Knight Frank enough for their support and guidance on our new premises project. Carlos was simply outstanding at helping me through my first construction project and we are thrilled with the result. Carlos was always there for me - highly responsive, committed and passionate, patient and understanding. Knight Frank understood that this was new territory for me and always took the time to explain context and technical detail, to provide their perspective and advice. James provided an extra level of experience and expertise which helped us to complete an amazing fit out, on time and under budget despite the significant challenges of a global pandemic. I would highly recommend them.”

Jeremy Summers, Head of Operations, Melbourne, Gilbert + Tobin

“Knight Frank have been outstanding throughout the 321 Exhibition Street project. It was the first time our business had undertaken an ECI arrangement, this was selected at Knight Frank’s recommendation and they guided us through the process seamlessly. Without this, the project would not have been so successful, and I am extremely grateful for their professionalism, expertise and leadership. Carlos and the team had to work through the extremely challenging circumstances that COVID presented but delivered the project on time, under budget and to a very high standard. This is the second time Invesco have used Knight Frank on a project and we can’t recommend them enough.”

Lauren Fellows, Director, Asset Management, Invesco

“Knight Frank are a trusted advisor and have been working with us on our Ashurst Melbourne project for the life of the project – a long life. Knight Frank's project team understand our business and the firm's requirements and guide us through a myriad of situations. Carlos joined the project post its inception and picked up the reins quickly and professionally. Carlos is a patient Project Manager and does not shy away from a challenging client, he is always contactable and responsive. Working through Lockdowns and bringing this project in on time is a testament to his skill set. He builds strong relationships and is respected in the industry.”
