Why Northern Beaches landlords choose us
Commercial property management isn’t residential with a different lease template. Outgoings reconciliations, make-good negotiations, rent reviews and essential services compliance are technical processes that get expensive fast when they’re handled by a generalist. Here’s how we’re different:
Commercial is what we do
Most Northern Beaches agencies chase residential property management and pick up commercial when it walks in the door. We work the other way around. Every property in our portfolio is commercial, industrial, or retail meaning the systems, the relationships with contractors and legal advisors, and the day-to-day process are all built for how commercial property actually works.
Local, and easy to reach
We’re based in Suite 215, 117 Old Pittwater Road, Brookvale, just minutes from most of the properties we manage. When something needs a walkthrough, a decision, or a face-to-face meeting with your tenant, we’re there the same day. You’ll deal directly with Rob, Paul, Ethan & Jade.
End-to-end management, not just rent collection
Rent collection is table stakes. What matters is what happens around it: sourcing quality tenants, negotiating heads of agreement, running annual outgoings reconciliations, managing arrears before they become disputes, coordinating make-goods at end of lease, and keeping your building compliant with fire safety and essential services obligations. We do all of it.
Reporting owners actually read
Monthly statements, annual reconciliations, GST reports and clear information for owners with multiple properties or complex portfolios. If you own more than one asset, we structure reporting so you can see performance across the portfolio at a glance, not just line-by-line transactions.
What we manage
We specialise in commercial property across every asset class on the Northern Beaches:
- Office suites and standalone commercial buildings
- Retail shops, strata retail, and mixed-use ground floor tenancies
- Industrial units, warehouses, and light industrial estates
- Multi-tenanted buildings and commercial strata schemes
- Storage units and commercial carparking
If you’re not sure whether we’re the right fit for your property, just get in touch and we’ll tell you honestly.
Our commercial management services
Tenant selection and leasing
We source and vet tenants, negotiate heads of agreement, and prepare lease documentation. Our leasing process is designed to reduce vacancy periods without sacrificing tenant quality as a bad tenant costs more than a vacant month.
Rent collection and arrears management
Automated rent processing, prompt payment tracking, and structured arrears follow-up. Where issues arise, we intervene early and communicate clearly with both you and the tenant to resolve them before they escalate.
Outgoings reconciliations
Annual outgoings reconciliations across office, retail, and industrial leases including estimated outgoings statements, actual expenditure reconciliations, and tenant apportionment calculations that comply with the Retail Leases Act where relevant.
Rent reviews and lease renewals
CPI and fixed rent reviews, market rent reviews, and lease renewal negotiations handled end to end. We manage the process, negotiate on your behalf, and document the result.
Make-good coordination
End-of-lease inspections, negotiation of make-good obligations, and coordination of works between tenants and contractors. Handled properly, this recovers value at the end of every tenancy.
Insurance and compliance
Building insurance oversight, annual fire safety statement coordination, essential services compliance, and ongoing regulatory obligations. We track what’s due, when, and coordinate the certifiers and contractors to keep your building compliant.
Maintenance and contractor management
Coordinating routine maintenance, obtaining competitive quotes for capital works, and managing contractors on your behalf. Our long-standing local contractor relationships mean faster turnaround and better pricing.
Owner reporting
Monthly financial statements, annual reports, and end-of-financial-year documentation prepared for your accountant. For owners with multiple properties, we structure portfolio-level reporting so you can see across your holdings without digging through individual statements.

Meet the team
Our property management is run by Ethan Rowe, who handles the day-to-day management of the 175-property portfolio and makes the operational calls. Ethan is backed by directors Rob and Paul Bakker, who bring more than 30 years of combined Northern Beaches commercial experience to strategic and complex matters from major leasing decisions to disputed make-goods. Jade Lawless supports the team across leasing and administration. When you engage us, you deal directly with the person managing your property.
Frequently asked questions
What does commercial property management cost?
Fees depend on the property type, the number of tenancies, and the level of service required. A single-tenant industrial unit is different to a multi-tenanted retail building. Rather than publish a flat rate that doesn’t fit any real property, we prepare a tailored proposal after understanding your asset. Request a proposal and we’ll turn one around within two business days.
What’s included in your commercial management fee?
Standard management includes tenant selection and leasing coordination, rent collection, arrears management, monthly statements, annual outgoings reconciliations, rent reviews, insurance oversight, compliance tracking, repairs and maintenance, capital works project management, make-good disputes & lease renewals. All fees are clearly set out upfront in the management agreement.
How do you find tenants for commercial properties?
We use commercialrealestate.com.au, realcommercial.com.au, along with our own database of active tenants and buyers agents, and our long-standing relationships across the Northern Beaches business community. Because we transact across sales and leasing as well as management, we have direct visibility into who’s actively looking for space at any given time.
Do you handle industrial and retail as well as office?
Yes, all three, plus mixed-use, strata retail, warehousing, and commercial carparking. Our portfolio spans every asset class within commercial property.
Can you manage properties outside the Northern Beaches?
Yes. Our office is in Brookvale, and the majority of our portfolio is on the Northern Beaches, but we also manage properties across NSW and into Victoria for existing clients. For properties outside our immediate area, we work with trusted local contractors to bridge the distance.
How do I switch my commercial property to your management?
The process is straightforward. We start with a no-obligation review of your current management arrangements, provide a written proposal, and if you decide to proceed, we handle the transition. This includes notifying your current agent, transferring tenant records, and taking over rent collection from an agreed date. Most transitions complete within 30 days.
