CBRE has appointed Jordan Kies to lead its Industrial & Logistics (I&L) business in South Australia.

Mr Kies is assuming the role from long-standing leader David Reid to allow him to fully focus on upper end I&L brokerage pursuits, working closely with CBRE colleague Jon Nitschke.

CBRE’s Senior Managing Director for South Australia, Alistair Laycock, noted; “David has led the team for over 10 years and is recognised as one of Adelaide’s leading I&L brokers, with an extensive knowledge of the sector and expansive client network, built over an 18-year career at CBRE.”

“Jordan assuming the team leadership role will allow David to be completely client and deal focussed at a time when the I&L sector has emerged as a preferred asset class for a growing number of domestic and international investor groups.”

Mr Kies joined CBRE’s South Australian business 10 years ago, initially in a valuation role and most recently as a Director within the I&L Capital Markets team.

“Jordan’s progression into the leadership role and David’s move to fully focus on client pursuits is a ‘win win’ for our business, highlighting our focus on advancing our up-and-coming talent and bringing a fresh approach to the operational structure of our South Australian I&L business, while ensuring that we continue to enhance our client service offering and market leadership in the I&L sector,” Mr Laycock said.
