JLL expands South Sydney industrial team with NSW hire

SYDNEY, 1 November 2022 – Global property services firm JLL continues to expand its South Sydney Industrial & Logistics team with the appointment of Noah Bernardi in the position of Executive, Logistics & Industrial Agency.

Noah has more than two years’ experience in the commercial real estate industry and joins JLL from Knight Frank.

JLL’s Head of Industrial & Logistics - Australia, Peter Blade said, “We are delighted to welcome Noah to the team, and this appointment highlights our continued focus on investing in the best people. His appointment will further strengthen JLL’s offering in the South Sydney market, one of the most in-demand industrial precincts in Australia.”

“South Sydney is better connected to the rest of Sydney, more than ever, and industrial sites in the area are becoming increasingly rare.

“The lack of vacant sites left for development in South Sydney is aiding recent price growth, particularly for land. At the same time, the withdrawal and rezoning of industrial land for alternative uses has placed substantial pressure on the area’s remaining industrial land stocks,” said Mr Blade.  

Mr Bernardi joins the South Sydney team alongside Murray Pettinger and Mark Silva.

JLL’s Mark Silva said, “The strategic addition of Noah to our team will serve as a major benefit to our clients seeking to navigate a rapidly evolving market successfully, while ensuring that we continue to enhance our client service offering and market leadership in the industrial and logistics sector.”

JLL’s Murray Pettinger said, “South Sydney is still one of Sydney’s most active commercial and industrial markets and the future pipeline of industrial developments coming online over the next few years is the biggest the area has seen. The continued expansion of our South Sydney team is testament to JLL’s position as experts in the market, as we are looking forward to continuing this trajectory of growth.”
