We’re grateful for your ongoing support as your trusted specialists in industrial, retail, and commercial real estate across western Sydney.

Key Trends and Opportunities in 2025
Over the past 12 months, we’ve tracked several important trends shaping the local market. Here’s what we’ve observed and what it could mean for your property goals in 2026:
Local Market Overview
Leasing and sales demand for industrial, retail, and commercial properties remained steady compared to last year. Owners, buyers, and tenants have navigated a market influenced by ongoing interest rate uncertainty, cost-of-living pressures, and shifting business confidence both locally and abroad.
Looking forward, we expect market sentiment to improve as these factors stabilise. Notably, leasing rates—which rose last year—have eased following three 0.25 percentage point rate cuts in February, May, and August 2025.
Industrial Market Insights
From Blacktown to the Hawkesbury LGAs, the North West sector has seen a rise in industrial lease opportunities. This increased supply has moderated rental rates after a spike earlier in the year. Sale prices have held steady, but yields are starting to decrease as a result of softer rentals.
Most existing building owners remain under little pressure to sell, which has tightened overall supply. We continue to see tenants purchasing premises through superannuation funds, and some owners are opting for sale and leaseback strategies to reinvest in their businesses or diversify their portfolios.
Retail & Commercial Market Insights
Retail in the Hawkesbury region—from Windsor to Richmond—remains under close watch. Challenges like limited all-day parking, especially in Windsor Mall, persist for business owners and retailers. We believe that developing unique themes for different CBD locations could attract more visitors and boost local business. Community support remains strong, presenting ongoing opportunities for retail growth.
Rent Adjustments & CPI Overview
Annual rent reviews for many commercial leases are tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), helping ensure rental values keep pace with inflation and market trends.
