What Cadigal does

Cadigal is an independent Sydney-based commercial real estate agency founded in 2011 that operates with a single-service-line focus on office leasing. The firm represents building owners and developers (landlord agency) as well as tenants (tenant representation), connecting businesses to office space across Sydney CBD, North Sydney, Barangaroo, Chatswood, St Leonards/Crows Nest, Pyrmont/Ultimo, McMahons Point/Milsons Point, and Neutral Bay/Cremorne. Its portfolio of 30+ featured buildings includes premium-grade landmark towers and smaller suites, with major landlord mandates from Brookfield, Charter Hall, Dexus, Mirvac, and Lendlease.

The firm operates from two integrated offices (Sydney CBD at Level 24, 9 Castlereagh Street, and North Sydney at Level 13, 124 Walker Street), with a structure of six Executive Directors, dedicated Research and Analytics leadership, and an in-house Marketing and Communications function. Cadigal generates revenue through commission-based professional services on each leasing transaction, with deal sizes ranging from small suites (50sqm) to major enterprise leases exceeding 20,000sqm (e.g., Sparke Helmore 45,000sqm at MLC Centre, Suncorp 24,000sqm at 10 Shelley Street, Transport NSW 21,400sqm at 680 World Square).

The firm's go-to-market is a relationship-driven, enterprise field sales model augmented by a self-serve website property portal, a Shortlist feature, regular Market Pulse research publications, and a channel partnership with Rubberdesk for coworking and flexible workspace referrals. Technology is not proprietary—the platform layer comes from the Rubberdesk integration and the agency's own CMS-based website. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and ownership is founder/director-led with no institutional investors or parent company evidenced.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Rubberdesk: Australian flexible office marketplace and Cadigal's strategic channel partner for coworking and flex-space referrals. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but illustrative of the PropTech-enabled flexible-space category encroaching on traditional office leasing.

Broad incumbents

• Cushman & Wakefield: Global CRE services firm active across Sydney office leasing, tenant representation and landlord advisory. Competes with Cadigal on the same Brookfield, Dexus, Charter Hall and Mirvac mandates and offers integrated global occupier services.
• Savills Australia & New Zealand: Global property advisor with a Sydney commercial leasing team that competes with Cadigal on prime CBD and North Sydney office mandates. Adds capital markets, investment, valuation and asset management capability across the region.
• JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle): Global commercial real estate services firm with a major Sydney office leasing practice. Competes with Cadigal on the same institutional landlord mandates (Brookfield, Charter Hall, Dexus, Lendlease, Mirvac) but offers capital markets, valuations, project leasing and industrial agency alongside office leasing.
• Colliers:
• Knight Frank Australia: Global CRE advisory with a Sydney office leasing practice serving the same institutional owner client base as Cadigal. Competes on flagship Sydney CBD and North Sydney mandates and offers capital markets, valuation and research services.
• CBRE: World's largest commercial real estate services firm with a leading Sydney office leasing team. Competes directly with Cadigal on flagship Sydney CBD and North Sydney mandates and brings broader investment sales, debt origination and global tenant representation capability.

Regional players

• Frasers Property Industrial: Major Australian institutional property player active across Sydney. While primarily an industrial/owner-developer rather than a pure office leasing agency, it is a comparable counterpart in the same institutional owner ecosystem where Cadigal operates.

Direct peers

• Charter Keck Cramer: Australian-owned, specialist commercial property advisory with deep Melbourne and Sydney office leasing practices. Most directly comparable to Cadigal in terms of specialist, single-market focus and similar institutional client base, though with a multi-service and multi-city footprint.
• Stonebridge Property Group: Australian independent commercial property agency with a Sydney office leasing practice representing institutional owners. Closely comparable to Cadigal in size, ownership structure and specialisation, competing for similar landlord mandates in the Sydney CBD and North Sydney markets.
