With more than 25 years in the Australian retail industry, including senior roles at AMP Capital, Scentre Group and QIC, Peter Burdon-Smith moves to Mirvac this week as Director of Retail Leasing joining the company’s Integrated Investment Portfolio.

Burdon-Smith will be responsible for delivering the strategic retail leasing, transactional relationships and income planning for the Mirvac portfolio and ensuring delivery of Mirvac’s Connected Urban Hub strategy and New Retail Platform. His significant expertise will undoubtedly be valuable for driving existing portfolio performance and future opportunities.

Mirvac Retail General Manager, Kelly Miller said, “We’re thrilled to welcome Peter to head up our Retail Leasing Team. He comes with a deep history of unlocking partner and investor opportunities within retail and mixed-use projects, and a strong commitment to growing and supporting future industry talent.

Peter shares our commitment to reimagining retail, by delivering places to connect, do good, have fun, recharge and be safe and importantly to redefine the partner and customer experience. As we reopen nationally and see the enthusiastic return of our customers to our centres we enter a new era of consumer centricity and Peter couldn’t be joining us at a more exciting time,” said Miller.
