Lease Equity has appointed David Murray to its Retail Property Management team as a senior portfolio manager.

Murray has previously held property management rolls, and most recently oversaw Colonial’s $200million redevelopment of the Rockingham City Shopping Centre in WA, taking the centre from 39,000sqm to 55,000sqm with more than 200 shops.

“We are delighted that David is joining our team of professionals, further strengthening our experience,” Jim Tsagalis, MD of Lease Equity, said.

“He is one of the most experienced and respected property executives in Western Australia. His skills compliment our business and will greatly benefit our clients in enhancing the value of their property assets”.

Murray’s appointment further strengthens the West Australian commercial property agency’s experience at senior management level after the recent appointment of Fred Clohessy as leasing director in September this year.

“The growing size of our business has enabled us to attract the best property talent in Western Australia. The appointment of David and Fred further strengthens our knowledge, experience and transaction skills in the Perth market. We will continue to drive value on behalf of our clients with these key appointments.”
