Michael Lewin
Commercial property agent Michael Lewin made headlines when in 1992 he rewrote the real estate record books with the sale of the Fountain Gate shopping centre for $187.5million. This was at the time the biggest single property transaction in Victoria.
Michael Lewin’s background originated from an accountancy practice.
When KBL recently struck out on its own, it started life as an entity with an already impressive list of clients, built up over almost 60 years in the competitive and complex area of commercial real estate. And to many of these clients, confidentiality is all important.
Lewin says: “These clients rely on our judgement, and we enjoy their trust; a trust built up over many years that depends on both integrity and discretion”.
