Knight Frank has made a new appointment to its industrial team in Perth, with Lachlan Lewis appointed as Senior Sales and Leasing Executive.

Lachlan has more than 30 years’ experience in property, having worked over his career for organisations including Transact Capital, CBRE, JLL, Stanton Hillier Parker (Burgess Rawson) and Roy Weston.

He moves to Knight Frank from his most recent role as Director of Office and Metro Markets at Transact Capital.

Knight Frank Head of Industrial Logistics Geoff Thomson said Knight Frank was looking to expand its industrial team in Perth, and Mr Lewis was a strong asset.

“Having a wide breadth of experience in Perth’s property market, Lachlan brings with him a wealth of knowledge and success in the commercial, office and industrial sectors,” he said.

“He also has significant contacts across the industry, having developed excellent relationships with private and institutional owners as well as local, national and international tenants.

“While the industrial market is normalising, with rents moving back to more stable growth levels, demand is still strong, and there is plenty of activity, hence our team expansion.”

Mr Lewis said he was excited about his appointment at Knight Frank in Perth.

“The Industrial and Logistics space has been and continues to be a strong asset class in Western Australia,” he said.

“Underpinned by Western Australia’s powerhouse economy and its connectivity to the South East Asian and broader global markets, West Australian industrial and logistics property is critical and an exciting part of the market to work in.”
