Green Street Expands Its Reach to Australia’s Dynamic Real Estate Market
Green Street, a global leader in commercial real estate (CRE) and infrastructure intelligence, has officially launched its Australian Public Market Research and REIT Data product. This new offering brings unparalleled insights into one of the world’s most dynamic real estate markets, marking a significant step in the company’s global expansion strategy.
The launch focuses on the coverage of Australian public REITs, starting with the Retail and Data Centre sectors. The company plans to expand into Industrial, Office, Self-Storage, and Diversified sectors, as well as roll out its full private market suite throughout the first half of 2026. This move is expected to provide investors with a more comprehensive understanding of the Australian real estate landscape.
A Growing and Sophisticated Market
Australia, often referred to as the “Lucky Country,” benefits from strong macroeconomic tailwinds, with GDP growth consistently outpacing many developed peers. According to Rob Virdee, Head of Research, Australia at Green Street, “Australia’s REIT market has matured into the second largest globally—after the U.S.—with a market capitalisation of approximately A$130 billion across nearly 40 A-REITs, representing around 6% of the FTSE/EPRA NAREIT Global Index.” He added that the market is deep, liquid, and increasingly international, making it an ideal environment for Green Street’s global perspective.
Inaugural Reports Highlight Key Sectors
Green Street has released its inaugural reports, focusing on two key sectors:
Retail Sector: “Striking Gold Down Under”
This report covers six retail REITs representing approximately A$44 billion in market cap (~35% of the sector). It highlights the tightening supply of retail real estate, with REITs operating at near-full occupancy.Data Centre Sector: “Fair Dinkum Hottest Sector”
With data centre demand at an all-time high across APAC, Australia is well-positioned to capture the wave of new leasing. The report initiates coverage of two listed, pure-play, development-focused data centre companies amidst the AI gold rush sweeping across the country.
Comprehensive Research and Tools
Green Street’s research combines public and private market intelligence with detailed property-level analysis. This approach offers in-depth insights into operating fundamentals, valuations, yields, capital market dynamics, and investment recommendations. The goal is to provide a trusted foundation for confident investment decisions.
“This expansion is a pivotal step in our global strategy,” said Cedrik Lachance, Director of Research at Green Street. “We’re excited to bring new insights and depth of research to investors and stakeholders across Australia’s sophisticated real estate investment landscape. We’re proud to continue our commitment to delivering high-quality, actionable intelligence wherever the market demands it.”
