After three years of selling assets, strengthening its balance sheet and reshaping its portfolio, Mirvac says it is ready for its next phase.

Managing Director and CEO Campbell Hanan talks to Sean Aylmer about where the property giant sees its next opportunities, why it’s reducing its exposure to office property and investing more in industrial and living sectors, and the outlook for residential property.

Campbell also explains why investor appetite for housing has fallen, why Mirvac isn’t chasing the data centre boom, and whether the old rule that falling interest rates are good for property companies still holds.
