Ian Edwards is a Partner of Knight Frank in Perth and sits on the Knight Frank Perth executive board. Ian’s role at Knight Frank centers on leasing major office assets for both private and institutional clients as well as providing strategic asset management consultancy for major clients. Much of Ian’s time is taken up with new office developments, including advising clients what and where to build, appointing and briefing legal teams and working closely with owners and development managers to develop office buildings which will be sought after by tenants. He then secures suitable tenants, negotiates the commercial terms and works with all parties to produce the necessary documentation required. Ian is currently working with several major office building developers in Perth to secure suitable anchor tenants. Ian has been recognized by Knight Frank as the highest office leasing fee earner in Australia on multiple occasions. Career highlights include leasing 14,000 sqm at 226 Adelaide Terrace (entire building), leasing 24,000 sqm to Chevron at QV.1 and pre-committing Bankwest to the Raine Square project, where Bankwest leased the entire office building of some 44,000 square metres.
