Case Study Strategic Advisory: Sydney Olympic Park Authority

Hero Rev Up2

Challenge

The timing of the report coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic which has influenced and accelerated market trends including Work from Home (WFH), online shopping, satellite offices and shared facilities. This coloured our perspective and analysis of each market and the potential uses identified for Sydney Olympic Park.

Strategy
Our Commercial Analysis and Master Plan Review was approached in three stages, commencing with understanding the current development landscape and market for each proposed use including retail, commercial, residential, short term accommodation and leisure and recreational.

Our approach proceeded to drill down into the Master Plan, tying in our knowledge of the market to assess the viability of the proposed developments.

Following our market analysis and Master Plan review, we conducted market sounding with Olympic Park stakeholders to gauge insights into the major drivers of stakeholder investment into the precinct, impediments, constraints and limitations as well as opportunities to meaningfully activate the precinct in line with the Master Plan. 

Results
We produced a detailed report providing structured advice including key recommendations, stakeholder feedback and opportunities to unlock value for SOPA.

Testimonial
“Neil Murray, Rebecca Ngan and George Marton provided SOPA a Commercial Analysis and Master Plan Review of Sydney Olympic Park. The team delivered an outstanding, comprehensive report detailing real, practical and actionable advice. As part of the project, the team sought consultation and feedback from broader Olympic Park stakeholders and took this into consideration when delivering final recommendations. SOPA would recommend Colliers Strategic Advisory as leading real estate advisors.”

My early career was in Banking and later in trading with a Japanese Trading House where I imported equipment, established distributorships as well as providied financing for importers of our products. My entry into property was through the funding of real estate development projects with the Japanese Trading Houses and General Contractors. In this role I became the financial project manager and asset manager of over 40 commercial, retail, industrial and residential projects throughout Australia.

This opened the opportunities for development management, portfolio management, project marketing, feasibility studies and strategic analysis and in  conjunction with my business partner we established a property consultancy, which we operated succesfully for over 20 years servicing our Japanese clients as well as government and private clients. I joined Colliers  in 2015 when my business partner retired.
