One Market, Many Realities
The State of Australia’s Commercial Real Estate in 2025
Australia’s commercial property market is steadying in 2025 — but the story is far from uniform across asset classes. Office continues its recalibration, retail is regaining momentum, healthcare and childcare are proving their resilience as community infrastructure and alternatives are moving into the mainstream. Can Australia’s commercial market find balance across such diverse realities?
