"The term “Asset Management” within Sierra Balmain refers to the establishment, implementation and execution of strategies both to protect a retail property asset and to enhance its value. It is about building both the quantity and quality of income.

Each asset manager represents investor interests by overseeing all property activity such as leasing, property management and marketing, project and development, sustainability, market research, valuation, lender relations and reporting and corporate activities.

Balmain’s asset managers each come from a multi-disciplined background that ensures added depth of knowledge in determining strategy".

“Sierra Balmain’s property management brings together elements of investment goals by translating strategy and planning into delivery. Sierra Balmain performs this across all asset classes including retail, leisure lifestyle, entertainment, culture, workspace and logistics. Sierra Balmain Property Management always takes the investor’s perspective in whatever we do. We believe in a close cooperation and understanding of the investor’s goals and strategies. We keep up with the changing market conditions, also apply these to the needs of a property, its owners, the tenants and the customers. The property management team benefits greatly from the broader perspective attained by constant communication within all the Sierra Balmain teams".

“Our leasing team is the most highly regarded in the region. Our deep, wide and direct occupier relationships are a significant factor in the success of the real estate that we share with our occupiers.

At Sierra Balmain, leasing is not just about maintaining occupancy or filling vacant space, but delivering a coherent and sustainable story for the property. Our leasing team think and advise, creating strategy rather than just plugging vacancy.

Creating vibrant tenant mix, blending expiry profiles, all whilst maximising opportunity and minimising risk are core tenets of what the Sierra Balmain leasing team do”.
