In this episode of The Exchange, Ryan Loehr sits down with Michael Rothner, Executive Director of AsheMorgan, to explore how one of Australia’s most respected private real estate investment firms has navigated market cycles, delivered sustained returns, and redefined value creation in property.
With more than four decades of experience and over $10 billion in transactions, AsheMorgan has built its reputation on identifying opportunity where others see complexity - from pioneering developments like Brisbane’s award-winning Midtown Centre to strategic investments across office, retail, industrial, and living sectors.
Michael shares how the firm’s hands-on, capital-disciplined approach delivers attractive risk-adjusted returns, why ESG integration is now central to long-term resilience, and how demographic and structural shifts are creating new opportunities for investors.
Whether you’re an experienced investor or simply curious about where Australia’s property market is heading, this conversation offers a rare inside look at what it takes to create enduring value - in assets, partnerships, and legacy.
