Colliers Appoints Rick McKenzie as National Director Office Leasing in Western Australia

Colliers bolsters its National Leasing capability with the appointment of Rick McKenzie to lead its Office Leasing team based in Perth.

Colliers is pleased to announce the appointment of Rick McKenzie as National Director of Office Leasing in Perth, Western Australia, further strengthening the firm’s position as a market leader in Australia’s commercial property sector.

Rick brings extensive transaction experience, having represented a diverse range of clients across both prime and secondary grade office assets, whilst managing a successful leasing team. His strategic mindset, deep market expertise, and strong financial acumen make him a valuable addition to the Colliers team.

Cameron Williams, Managing Director of Office Leasing at Colliers, welcomed the appointment and said “Rick’s expertise and leadership will play a crucial role in driving successful leasing outcomes for our clients. His deep understanding of Perth’s office market, combined with his analytical approach and client-focused mindset, will further enhance our ability to deliver exceptional results”.

Rick’s appointment aligns with Colliers’ commitment to delivering tailored leasing strategies, fostering strong client relationships, and maintaining a market-leading position in Australia’s commercial property sector.

Mr McKenzie said “I’m excited to be joining such a strong leasing platform and I look forward to growing in partnership with our clients. Following robust rental growth in Prime grade stock over the past 3 years in the Perth CBD, and with many large occupiers having already forecast the implications of a constrained supply pipeline, 2025 is expected to be a year of greater complexity and consultation for occupiers and owners alike. Lease flexibility and certainty of cost continue to weigh heavily in decision making as high relocation costs and limited new supply continue into the approach of a federal election”.

Colliers State Chief Executive for Western Australia, Richard Cash said “Rick will play a pivotal role within our Western Australian operation, as he will help drive and lead the collaboration of our Office Leasing team. The growth of Colliers’ Office Leasing team in WA is accelerating in line with strong demand from the market and we are delighted to have Rick join the team. A fresh new approach to servicing clients is something we can deliver exceptionally well and we look forward to accelerating the success for our clients and their property portfolios”.
