    Australia's office market is going through a once in a generation shift. The role and value of office is subject to daily speculation, as the pandemic has caused forced work from home for many industries. Owners have confidence in the office sector and billions of dollars are still being exchanged, although many say that office will never again be the same. Funds remain committed to office, both with existing assets and identifying new opportunities. So where are the fund managers looking to invest, and what is framing their decisions in this period of perceived uncertainty? What is trading and by whom?

    This virtual discussion, hosted by ULI Sydney's Young Leaders Group, will provide leading insights in the commercial market, how developments can be repositioned to maintain returns, and remain attractive to the market.
