Colliers’ Western Australian Investment Services team is building significant momentum in 2026, with over $90M in recent sales and new opportunities hitting the market.
The activity reflects strengthening investor confidence across Perth’s commercial property sectors, underpinned by population growth, limited supply and sustained demand for quality assets.
The team, now bolstered by the appointment of Cory Dell’Olio as National Director, is leveraging a highly active pipeline of transactions and listings to capitalise on improving market conditions.
Recent transactions include the sale of a major Dianella site for $48.5 million and a Hocking site for $16.06 million - highlighting the depth of capital targeting Western Australia.
Further activity across the metro market has seen Colliers facilitate the sale and settlement of 181 Claisebrook Road, Perth ($1.3 million), 21 Howard Street, Perth ($3.75 million), and 223 James Street, Northbridge ($8 million), demonstrating continued liquidity across a range of price points and asset types.
The team is also managing the upcoming settlement of a convenience centre, reinforcing sustained demand for essential-service retail investments.
Cory Dell’Olio, National Director | Investment Services said the current run of transactions signals an important shift in sentiment across the WA investment market.
“Investor appetite is clearly improving, particularly for assets offering defensive income or exposure to high-growth corridors. With multiple campaigns underway and new opportunities coming to market, we are excited about the continued growth and momentum from our Colliers Investment Services team.”
Colliers is now bringing a series of new opportunities to market, including a childcare investment in Thornlie, a high-profile CBD asset at 498–536 Murray Street, and a newly launched development site at 2659 Kokoda Boulevard in Byford.
The Thornlie childcare asset presents a secure, long-leased investment in a high-growth suburban corridor, appealing to investors seeking defensive income streams underpinned by essential services.
Meanwhile, 498–536 Murray Street offers a prominent Perth CBD position with value-add potential, expected to attract a broad range of private and syndicate capital.
The Byford site represents a strategic opportunity to secure a foothold in one of Perth’s fastest-growing outer-metro corridors, with strong population growth and infrastructure investment continuing to drive demand.
Shane Isaacs, Manager | Investment Services said “Western Australia continues to benefit from strong economic growth, underpinned by record population inflows that are accelerating demand across all property sectors. This ongoing growth is placing upward pressure on values and rents, reinforcing the state’s position as one of the country’s most compelling real estate markets.”
Aidan Austen, Executive | Investment Services said “We’re seeing a clear weight of capital targeting Western Australia, with retail emerging as the strongest performing sector. The combination of improving consumer fundamentals, limited new supply and the defensive nature of non-discretionary retail is driving heightened competition and increasingly aggressive pricing outcomes. The addition of Cory to our team further strengthens our capability in the Western Australian market, positioning us to capitalise on the growing depth of demand and deliver outstanding outcomes for our clients.”
The team’s current campaign activity reflects a broader trend of renewed liquidity across the WA investment market, particularly in assets offering income security, development upside or exposure to high-growth corridors.
Dell’Olio said the team’s focus is on delivering a consistent pipeline of opportunities while continuing to build on recent transactional success.
With multiple campaigns underway and further opportunities expected to be announced in the coming months, Colliers’ WA Investment Services team is positioning itself at the forefront of WA’s next phase of investment activity.
