About
Digby Sutherland hails from Perth and has been a leader in the commercial office market in Perth and Sydney for over 35 years with significant roles at global real estate firms CBRE, Chesterton International and Cushman & Wakefield.
Digby’s area of expertise is the precommitment leasing of new office developments and working with architects and developers to design a building that meets the requirements of the target tenant market.
In addition, Digby implements the project leasing strategy for large office assets that have significant vacancies and acts for building owners to retain tenants with pending lease expires.
This specialisation led Digby to establish market leading office leasing firm Sheffield Property in 2007 that was acquired by Cushman & Wakefield in 2023.
In recent years Digby has successfully completed the precommitment leasing of 10 new office developments in Perth including Kings Square 1 (Commonwealth Govt, P&N Bank) ,Kings Square 2 (Shell HQ) and Kings Square 4 (HBF) at Perth City Link, Brookfield Place Tower 2 (Deloitte and Corrs), 8 Davidson Av (WA Government) and the Optima Centre (now named Djookanup, WA Government).
In Sydney Digby delivered the leasing strategy for significant office developments in Sydney including World Square (EY Centre) and Darling Island at Pyrmont (Fairfax Media) and managed the leasing strategy of Chifley Tower.
Digby has held many committee positions at the Property Council of WA including most recently the Cities and Emerging Precincts Committee and he also holds a real estate license in WA.
