Tom Ryan has been appointed Partner, Head of Investment Sales, Victoria at Knight Frank after a four-year hiatus from the firm.
The Announcement:
Tom Ryan has joined Knight Frank in the role of Partner, Head of Investment Sales, Victoria.
Mr Ryan has over 20 years’ experience in commercial real estate, working across all asset classes for government, institutional and private clients in Victoria, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
He previously spent six and a half years at Knight Frank after joining in 2014 and working his way up to Director, Capital Markets, based in Melbourne.
Knight Frank Managing Director of Victoria Dominic Long said Tom’s appointment would bolster Victoria’s Investment Sales team ahead of greater transaction activity expected for 2025.
“Knight Frank forecasts that the commercial property market will start to recover next year, with many investors ready to act, if they haven’t already become active again,” Mr Long said.
“We are excited to welcome Tom back to Knight Frank, and look forward to a strong year ahead.
“Not only is Tom familiar with many of our people and how we operate, but he will bring with him more than two decades of experience to lead the Investment Sales team.”
Mr Ryan said he was looking forward to returning to Knight Frank after a four-year hiatus.
“I have spent more time working at Knight Frank than anywhere else in my career, and I am excited to be back heading up the Investment Sales team in Victoria,” Mr Ryan said.
“The opportunity to come back and lead a team at one of the world’s largest private commercial property firms was too good to pass up.
“I’m looking forward to being able to work with the national Capital Markets teams, as well as to collaborate with multiple other business lines, at what I believe is an exciting period of change for Knight Frank Australia, particularly in Victoria.
“The market momentum in Melbourne continues to build, with a growing number of transactions, and we expect activity to be bolstered next year as the market moves in the right direction.”
