Our General Manager of Asset Creation and Investment Management, Martin Dowl, recently shared his insights with Shopping Centre News Australia on how hyperlocal asset planning can drive community success and enhance investment growth.
'Movers & Shakers' feature is an exclusive Q&A with nine industry leaders published in the latest issue of SCN magazine. We asked them to tell us about their career journey and experiences and discuss some of the key trends and major challenges facing our industry. As QIC’s General Manager of Asset Creation and Investment Management, Martin Dowl leads the team that carries the overall strategy for QIC’s managed assets and investments. This includes asset management, development management, masterplanning and strategic asset planning. "One trend that I believe will have an outsized impact is the concept of taking a hyperlocal approach to strategic asset planning, which means not just looking at your own assets or landholdings but zooming out to contemplate your place within the wider context of a town centre and a city," says Dowl. "By considering an asset’s relationship to its surroundings, aiming to support the broader community’s success, and enabling the vision of local policy-makers, the activity and growth of those investments will accelerate. "What I’m most looking forward to is emerging from this current economic cycle in a position of being well prepared and ready to execute the balance of the mixed-use masterplans that our organisation has made in concert with our preferred partners and seeing the results of that execution in the investment performance of our investors’ assets," he said.
