SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - CBRE has promoted Flint Davidson to the role of its new head of capital markets in Pacific. He also joins the company’s Pacific executive committee, the firm states in a March 21 press release. Davidson has been with CBRE since 1997 and has led CBRE’s Pacific capital markets office business for the past five years.

“Following an extensive internal and external search, Flint was the standout candidate to lead our world-class capital markets team,” says Phil Rowland, CBRE’s CEO, Pacific advisory services.

Transactions brokered by Davidson include Link REIT’s acquisition of a 49.9% stake in Investa Gateway Offices last year for A$1.15 billion ($1.03 billion), the A$1.025 billion sale of a 50% stake in Melbourne’s Southern Cross Towers and the A$925 million sale of a half-share in Sydney’s Grosvenor Place.

According to CBRE, Davidson will continue to work on office deals, while extending his focus to other key parts of CBRE’s capital markets business, which topped the MSCI Real Assets rankings in Australia in 2022 with a market share of 28.4%.
