Belle Property’s Commercial division, an arm of Australia’s premium real estate network, is pleased to announce its expansion into Sydney’s Upper North Shore with the launch of Belle Property Commercial Upper North Shore, led by highly respected local Principals Michael Doran and Daniel Dennis, who bring a combined 45 years of experience across residential and commercial real estate.

With an established presence across four offices in the region, Wahroonga, Hornsby, Pymble and Thornleigh, the launch represents a strategic step in strengthening Belle Property Upper North Shore’s commercial service offering, enabling the business to provide a more integrated and comprehensive solution for clients.

The expansion comes at a time of shifting market dynamics across the region, with increasing numbers of landlords exploring commercial opportunities. Rising residential holding costs, including higher strata levies, ongoing maintenance and changes in tenancy conditions, are prompting many to reconsider their investment strategies and look towards commercial assets for greater stability and return.

At the same time, the region continues to evolve, with established town centres supporting vibrant retail precincts, alongside four major industrial hubs in Pymble, Thornleigh, Hornsby and Mount Kuring-gai. In parallel, ongoing rezoning and the emergence of low to medium residential (LMR) development sites are creating new opportunities for investors and developers seeking to unlock value.

Drawing on strong local relationships and deep market knowledge, Michael and Daniel are well positioned to support clients across a broad range of asset classes, including office, retail, industrial and development sites. Their approach combines local insight with the scale and reach of the Belle Property network, delivering a more considered and strategic service.

“We’re seeing a clear shift in the way clients are thinking about property,” said Michael Doran. “More landlords are looking at commercial as a viable alternative, and having a dedicated offering allows us to better guide them through that transition with the right advice and support.”

Daniel Dennis added, “The Upper North Shore presents a unique mix of opportunity, from established retail centres through to industrial precincts and emerging development sites. By combining our local knowledge with the strength of the Belle Property network, we’re able to deliver a more considered, premium service and achieve stronger outcomes for our clients.”

The launch of Belle Property Commercial Upper North Shore further strengthens the brand’s national presence and reflects its ongoing commitment to delivering premium service and exceptional outcomes across all sectors of the property market.
