The Australian Financial Review Property Summit

In association with Commercial Real Estate

Since 2012, a bustling property market has done much to offset the end of the mining boom, creating jobs and generating a wealth effect that emboldened Australians to spend and borrow more.

With the housing boom now well and truly over, however, the effects of lower house prices are already reverberating across the broader property sector – and the real economy.

Commercial landlords continue to ride high on strong demand and good returns, but divergence in the performance of different asset types, a wave of consolidation, and the emergence of new challengers all speak of an industry on the cusp of major disruption.

Amidst volatility in the stock market and ever-tightening yields, investors continue to look to property for safe, solid returns. But how long can it last?

The Australian Financial Review Property Summit in association with Commercial Real Estate, brings together the industry’s most influential leaders, investors, commentators and disruptors to discuss the future of this critical pillar of the Australian economy.
