Knight Frank has appointed Jonathan Scott as Partner, Head of Tenant Representation in Queensland, which will see him lead the firm’s Tenant Representation business in the state.
Knight Frank’s Tenant Representation team works exclusively on behalf of tenants, helping clients define and implement their occupational real estate strategy. Knight Frank offers a full end-to-end solution for occupiers, which starts with defining the workplace needs, and takes them on the journey of searching and delivering the right solution, at the most efficient price. As a service, the focus is on driving data-led decision making and strategic thinking which leads to portfolio optimisation.
Jonathan will bring more than 15 years of commercial property experience to Knight Frank, in which he has advised both occupiers and investors on optimising their real estate strategies across Australia and the UK. He specialises in tenant advisory, helping clients align real estate decisions with commercial objectives and optimise portfolio performance.
Jonathan moves to Knight Frank from Cushman & Wakefield, where he most recently held the role of Director – Tenant Advisory, leading major office and industrial leasing transactions across Queensland for high-profile clients. His work spanned complex relocations, renewals, consolidations and strategic consulting across office and industrial markets.
Prior to this, Jonathan was an Asset Manager for a nationwide mixed-use portfolio in the UK, responsible for driving value through leasing strategies, asset repositioning and capital projects.
Knight Frank Partner, National Head of Tenant Representation Katherine Moss said: “We’re delighted to have Jonathan join the Tenant Representation team at Knight Frank.
“He brings a wealth of experience in the Queensland market, and his holistic, strategic approach and strong track record in both office and industrial markets makes him an exceptional addition to our national Tenant Representation team.
“Jonathan’s combined tenant advisory and asset management background gives him a unique perspective in understanding not only occupier requirements but also how leasing decisions impact valuation, performance and sales outcomes, which will be of huge benefit to our clients.”
Justin Bond, International Partner, Managing Director Queensland said: “Jonathan’s appointment reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional tenant advisory outcomes across Australia, backed by Knight Frank’s global platform and integrated network of experts around the world.
“I have no doubt Jonathan will be a dominant contributor to the growth of our Queensland business, and we look forward to expanding our Tenant Representation team in the state under his leadership.”
Mr Scott said: “Knight Frank has an outstanding reputation, and I’m excited to be working alongside some of the highest-performing professionals in the industry to grow the business.
“I feel confident my values and working style will contribute toward the inclusive culture and help to drive innovation in how we deliver exceptional results for our clients.
“With the Brisbane market in a phase where early strategic property planning is increasingly important for tenants, I am looking forward to supporting clients with clear, informed guidance, helping them to navigate complex challenges, unlock maximum value and manage risk.”
