ESR Australia & NZ

What ESR Australia & NZ does

ESR Australia & NZ is the Australian and New Zealand arm of ESR Group, operating as ESR Real Estate (Australia) Pty Limited from its Sydney headquarters at Level 13, 39 Martin Place. The company is a vertically integrated real estate investment, development, and asset management platform focused on industrial, logistics, and commercial properties across Australia and New Zealand. It delivers end-to-end real estate solutions spanning site selection, land acquisition, design, construction, leasing, operations, finance, legal, and funds management through an in-house team of 200+ specialists.

The business operates two interconnected revenue streams. First, direct property leasing and development services generate rental income and project fees from industrial estates, logistics parks, distribution centres, and commercial offices — serving enterprise tenants such as Amazon, DHL Supply Chain, CEVA Logistics, Toll Group, Nissan, Sony Australia, Aurecon, and Clifford Hallam Healthcare. Second, a managed funds platform operates six investment vehicles (EALP, EALP II, EALP III, EADP, EADP II, EMP) totalling A$22.9bn in assets under management (as at 31 December 2025), targeting institutional investors including sovereign wealth funds and pension funds. The development pipeline stands at A$10.2bn across 3.5 million sqm.

The company monetises through three primary streams: property leasing (recurring rental income), development services (professional fees for build-to-suit and estate delivery), and fund management (management and performance fees on third-party capital, typically with 10-20% co-investment). Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct engagement with businesses for property needs and institutional investors for fund commitments. The platform is supported by ESG credentials (3-star Green Star Performance rating achieved 2025) and an integrated tenant portal (ESR Assist).
