## Original article

The commercial property market in WA sees improving liquidity.

Western Australia's commercial property investment market recorded a renewed flow of capital in the first half of 2026 as improving confidence and stabilising debt markets encouraged more transactions, according to Cushman & Wakefield.

Nick Charlton, Director and Co-Head of Capital Markets and Investment Sales, WA at Cushman & Wakefield, said investors have become increasingly selective, with owner-occupiers, open-ended funds and strategic buyers driving transactions while syndicators remain focused on lease terms and vacancy risk.

The consultancy said campaigns that struggled to transact during 2023 and 2024 are now completing as pricing expectations align, signalling improved liquidity across the Perth market.

Ben Younger, Director and Co-Head of Capital Markets and Investment Sales, WA, said a stronger pipeline of CBD and suburban investment opportunities is expected in the second half of 2026. Cushman & Wakefield expects competition to intensify for assets offering secure income or repositioning potential, supported by increasing interstate and offshore investor interest and limited new supply.

### 珀斯投资项目储备料于下半年增强

随着信心改善与债务市场趋稳推动更多交易，西澳大利亚商业地产投资市场在2026年上半年迎来资本回流

西澳商业地产市场流动性有所改善。

戴德梁行（Cushman & Wakefield）指出，随着信心改善与债务市场趋稳鼓励更多交易，西澳大利亚商业地产投资市场在2026年上半年迎来资本回流。

戴德梁行西澳资本市场及投资销售董事兼联席主管Nick Charlton表示，投资者愈发挑剔：业主自用买家、开放式基金与战略性买家正推动交易，而财团型投资者仍聚焦租约条款与空置风险。

该顾问机构称，2023年至2024年期间难以成交的推广项目现已陆续完成，因买卖双方价格预期趋于一致，显示珀斯市场流动性改善。

资本市场及投资销售董事兼联席主管Ben Younger表示，2026年下半年预计将出现更强的中央商务区（CBD）与郊区投资机会储备。戴德梁行预计，在跨州及离岸投资者兴趣上升、新增供应有限的支撑下，具备稳健收入或重整潜力的资产竞争将加剧。
