Metier - The Retail Property Specialists

ABOUT

Essentially there are two types of property managers. There are the traditional property managers that react to market dynamics and thus are able to assist their clients in keeping pace with market performance...

...and there is a breed of professional property managers who work to create the market dynamics and thus establish higher levels of performance in the market place that others must try to keep pace with. Many of Australia's higher profile managing agents have long operated in the traditional manner for their clients and today are struggling to make the transition to the new, proactive mindset.

Our mission at Metier is to be a proactive participant in creating the dynamics of the markets in which we operate, to seek out opportunities that provide incremental benefits to our clients and to employ leading edge systems and techniques that serve to maximise efficiency, productivity, performance, and cost effectiveness. To this end we have brought together a group of professionals in retail management that have successfully led the growth of our company's retail business over the last several years.

SUCCESS STORIES

E-Shed Markets Fremantle
(Perth)

STATUS
A full management service is provided at all times.

CLIENT
Fremantle Port Authority

CHALLENGE
The building was purchased by ING mid 2006. Whilst the relocation of this heritage building was relatively new it was looking tired and the service contracts needed to be improved. Close liaison with the tenants was required as they had lost confidence in the management of the building with some 85% of leases expired.

SOLUTION
Metier immediately addressed the renewal of some 70 tenant’s leases and concerns have been addressed. There is now a good working relationship between all parties in order to take the building forward on a year on year basis.

Agreed in-house services needed to be improved dramatically. By re-tendering contracts we have kept the budget at a competitive level and increased service to the building and tenants alike.

CHALLENGE
Since 2009, Metier has been working with the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority in the revitalisation of Northbridge. As leasing agents and property managers of the William Street redevelopment, Metier is working to change the face of this iconic retail and nightlife precinct. As a high traffic, inner city area, there are a number of operational challenges and new strategies are constantly being reviewed and implemented to ensure the security, cleanliness, safety and activation of the precinct.

SOLUTION
By sourcing cutting edge fashion retailers, independent music and bookstores, art galleries and other creative industries, we are breathing new life into William Street. The strip is set to explode in 2012, with the introduction of new food and beverage concepts unique to the Perth dining and nightlife scene.
