Back and Even Better
As we enter a new year, we’re excited to continue our collaboration with forward-thinking landlords across Australia and New Zealand, contributing to asset regeneration projects that are shaping the future of the commercial property landscape.
A key trend we’re seeing is the resurgence of speculative suites. As businesses continue adapting to hybrid work models, ready-to-occupy office solutions are gaining traction, offering the flexibility and functionality that modern occupiers demand. Our recent feature in CBRE’s publication underscores this shift, highlighting the growing recognition of smart office solutions in today’s evolving market.
To support our commercial landlord partners in their leasing efforts, we continue to enhance our 3DXP services. This cutting-edge technology allows prospective tenants to explore vacant spaces through realistic 3D tours, long before any construction or investment takes place. By offering this immersive experience, we’re strengthening leasing strategies and generating greater interest. We’re also complementing these efforts with targeted leasing events to keep our clients’ properties in high demand in today’s competitive market.
On the tenant side, we’ve had the privilege of working with both new and long-standing partners, delivering successful projects for MYOB Brisbane, Kotahi, Spark New Zealand, Aussie Broadband, and more. These spaces are not just offices; they’re environments designed to empower teams and boost business performance.
As we enter the new year, we’re excited to welcome fresh talent to our teams across New Zealand and Australia. Their expertise and unique perspectives will enhance our ability to create high-performing spaces that support businesses and communities alike.
As I conclude this issue, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your ongoing support this past quarter. We look forward to continuing our partnerships as we move into the next quarter and beyond.
Project Spotlight | Sim Lian
We are proud to unveil our latest design and construct project at 50 Margaret Street, Sydney, where Cachet Group, in partnership with Sim Lian Metro, has delivered 14 premium speculative suites across five floors.
Located in the heart of Sydney’s financial precinct, this 16-storey development is where heritage meets innovation. Inspired by the area’s rich history and the lush surroundings of Wynyard Park, we’ve crafted workspaces that seamlessly blend timeless elegance, natural elements, and progressive design efficiency.
Each suite follows one of five distinct design themes—Classic Elegance, Urban Oasis, Modern Minimalism, Contemporary Fusion, and Skyline Retreat—creating unique yet cohesive workspaces that redefine the modern office. Designed with smart layouts, premium amenities, and next-generation technology, these suites do more than meet business needs—they set a new standard.
Thank you to Sim Lian Metro for their valued partnership. We look forward to seeing the strong leasing momentum as these spaces welcome their future tenants. View full project here.
Tell us a little bit about how you came to work with Cachet Group.
We initially connected with Cachet through an existing fit-out project when we acquired Mahuhu Crescent. The previous owners had engaged Cachet for these works, and given their expertise and familiarity with the building, we believed they were the most logical choice to undertake the fit-out for the remaining space on the same floor.
When you engaged Cachet, what challenges were you facing, and what made you confident in their ability to provide a solution?
We were seeking to showcase a vacant space at our Mahuhu Crescent property, recognising its potential as an attractive turnkey lease option with a modern, sustainable design. Cachet's proposal effectively addressed our vision, instilling confidence in their ability to deliver the solution we required.
Cachet incorporated elements of the existing fit-out into the project. How did this reuse strategy come together, and what impact did it have on the overall outcome?
The goal of reusing existing space was to minimise waste from demolition. Cachet developed a design that maximised the use of existing elements, reducing the need for demolition wherever possible. We appreciated this approach, as it not only resulted in an attractive final space but also contributed to our sustainability efforts by reducing waste.
We partnered with the leasing team on an activation - how did you find the marketing and event experience? Would you consider exploring similar initiatives in the future?
The activation was a success, thanks to a well-executed concept and attention to detail by Cachet, which ensured a seamless process. This included the provision of soft furnishings specifically for the activation. The event was well-received, generating the desired interest from our partners, and it ran smoothly without any issues. We would certainly consider exploring similar initiatives in the future.
As PMG look to the future, what key insights from this experience will shape your approach to future partnerships with Cachet or other assets?
The team at Cachet took full ownership of the project, ensuring it was completed seamlessly and with impressive results. They also introduced an innovative QR code design plan, allowing our tenants to visualise the space with furniture through technology—this was a unique and valuable addition. Cachet provided the vision we sought: a cost-effective solution that blended the building’s existing features with new design elements, creating an inviting and functional space for lease.
In case you missed it | Love a Good Leasing Launch
In partnership with PMG Funds, we were thrilled to support the launch of their first spec suite at Level 2, 32-34 Mahuhu Crescent—designed and constructed by Cachet Group.
Clients and leasing agents experienced the space first hand, brought to life through our innovative 3DXP Technology—showcasing the suites full potential and adaptability to meet the evolving needs of modern workplaces.
As asset repositioning and refurbishment continue to grow, understanding occupiers’ needs is more critical than ever to delivering a successful spec suite product.
Supporting leasing and marketing events like this is what we believe helps our asset owner clients drive success in the market. Thank you to PMG Funds for their trust in us—we can’t wait to see the leasing success unfold!
Thank you to Kada for providing the furniture.
