In Asian culture, creating lasting wealth for future generations isn’t just an aspiration, it’s a fundamental responsibility. Over the next two decades, Australia will witness one of the largest intergenerational wealth transfers in history, with an estimated $3.5 trillion expected to change hands between generations.

For Asian families, who traditionally maintain one of the highest wealth transfer rates globally—with studies showing over 90% of Asia-Pacific wealth being passed down through family lines, strategic property investment has become a cornerstone of legacy planning.

At Burgess Rawson’s Asian Investment Services, we’ve built our entire approach around this core cultural value, helping families establish and grow their legacy through strategic commercial property investment in Australia.

This focus is particularly relevant given that Asian investors represent one of the largest sources of foreign investment in Australian commercial real estate, with investment volumes consistently exceeding $5 billion annually.

Our dedication to intergenerational wealth creation goes beyond traditional property services. We have become renowned for our exclusive and sophisticated investment strategy seminars held in partnership with leading Australian banks, specifically designed to guide Asian investors through the complexities of building a lasting property portfolio. These events across the Eastern Seaboard dive deep into crucial topics that matter to our clients, identifying premium assets for long-term growth, strategic portfolio development, and practical approaches to leveraging Australian commercial real estate for generational wealth transfer.

The success of our approach is reflected in our outstanding track record. In the past 12 months alone, our team has facilitated transactions exceeding $508 million, contributing to our impressive total of $1.2 billion in sales.

But these numbers tell only part of the story.

Behind every transaction are families who have secured high-performing assets in sectors proven to generate stable, long-term returns, from blue-chip fast-food outlets and early education centres to strategic land parcels with significant development potential. Commercial property has historically outperformed many other asset classes in terms of intergenerational wealth preservation, with quality assets showing average annual returns between 6-8% over the past decade, not including capital appreciation.

What truly sets us apart is our comprehensive, end-to-end service delivered by a team that understands both the cultural nuances and practical needs of Asian investors. Led by the highly respected Zomart He, our expanded team now includes talented professionals across the Eastern Seaboard: Katherine Shi, Paul Tran, Jane Mei, Diana Jin, Johnny Chan, Chloe Kuo, and Connie Duan.

This multicultural team offers more than just language capabilities, they bring deep expertise in every aspect of commercial property investment.

Our clients benefit from seamless access to specialised services in their preferred language, wherever they are located. From initial investment strategy and property selection to asset management and leasing, our team provides comprehensive support at every step. This integrated approach ensures that our clients’ investment journey is not only successful but also aligned with their long-term wealth creation goals.

The Australian commercial property market offers unique advantages for building intergenerational wealth: political stability, strong economic fundamentals, and consistent long-term growth. Australia’s reputation as a secure investment destination is reflected in its consistent ranking among the top 20 countries globally for real estate transparency and investment security.

Our team’s intimate knowledge of both local markets and Asian investment preferences allows us to identify opportunities that align perfectly with our clients’ generational wealth objectives.

As we enter the new Lunar Year, our commitment to helping Asian investors build lasting legacies through Australian commercial property remains stronger than ever. With our proven track record, dedicated team of professionals, and deep understanding of intergenerational wealth creation, we continue to be the trusted partner for Asian investors looking to secure their family’s financial future.
