Building wealth with commercial property with Chris Davitt and John Taylor from Dexus

In this episode, Dexus’ Chris Davitt and John Taylor join the show to unpack the role of direct commercial property in today’s adviser landscape. They explore how quality real assets can provide income, inflation protection and diversification at a time when retirees face volatility, higher living costs and the disappearance of hybrids. The discussion spans the characteristics of strong properties, tax-deferred income, valuation cycles, and why replacement-cost dynamics are creating an attractive entry point. They also examine the 40-year track record of the Dexus Wholesale Australian Property Fund, its diversified tenant base and its consistent distribution history, offering advisers practical insight into where property fits in modern portfolios.
