SPOTTED  Ben Tan

Nicole sonThe cover of EZ Australia with Nicole Chow was one of the best covers. The main characters were a sophisticated yet beautiful lady accompanied by a cute white Terrier sitting in front of paintings depicting the great migration in Africa. These paintings were actually painted by the young and talented Ben Tan who is an artist and an avid photographer that has travelled to Tanzania and Kenya. Ben was also the Assistant Stills Photographer working alongside world famous celebrity photographer Dennys Ilic in the movie entitled Selection produced by Deborah Gray.

Nicole Chow 作为封面人物的御智澳大利亚是最佳封套之一。美丽的女士身旁伴随着可爱小猎犬坐在一幅描绘非洲旷野风光的画前。而这些作品实际上是由才华横溢的 Ben Tan 所绘，作为艺术家和狂热摄影师，Ben Tan 在往坦桑尼亚和肯尼亚旅行时以画笔记录了令人难忘的画面。Ben 同时担任世界著名摄影大师 Dennys Ilic 的助理摄影师，后者现正参与 Deborah Gray 监制的电影 “Selection” 的制作。

Democratising commercial leasing 大众化的商租

Simon

Have you ever tried to lease commercial space? An office? A shop? A warehouse? If so, you’ve probably found the experience quite time consuming, expensive, difficult to navigate and not particularly transparent.

Simon Hanlon (30) is a Melbourne-based lawyer turned tech entrepreneur. He is hungry, well resourced and is part of a new breed aggressively pursuing the Internet enabled dream.

Witnessing first hand the inefficiencies associated with the commercial leasing classified space, he saw the opportunity for an ‘Airbnb-style’ marketplace to open up the commercial property market.

“The online landscape in Australia is locked up and agent-skewed, with a handful of larger players dominating the space, resulting in an often rigid, expensive and non-consumer-friendly experience.”

Sidespace (www.sidespace.com.au) is a website connecting vacant commercial leasing opportunities directly with prospective tenants. The company’s vision is to democratise the commercial leasing market.

Unlike existing players, the offering is aimed at all market participants with the site accepting listings from individuals, businesses, property developers, shopping centres, asset managers, existing tenants (sub-leases) and others, including commercial property agents.

The platform also provides an effective channel for those seeking to market non-traditional opportunities – such as sub-leases and short-to-medium-term arrangements – making commercial space far more accessible.

Hanlon’s previous experiences as a commercial tenant were typical of what many encounter and prompted him to take action.

“I was responsible for sourcing a warehouse for 12 months. Despite the six-figure sum proposed, several agents were reluctant to entertain the term or connect me with landlords directly”.

The company is backed by a group of well-heeled private investors including Jason Yeap OAM and the team believes it has the online experience on board required for success.

Emphasis has been placed on a mobile-first strategy, a refined user experience, affordable listing rates, solid customer service and aggressive marketing campaigns ensuring a consistent flow of tenants to the site.

Users of all sizes are listing vacant commercial space on the site, from larger developers like Lend Lease, to smaller companies like Sidespace, who successfully sub-let its own Collins Street offices, thereby contributing substantially to its bottom line.

Please visit http://www.sidespace.com.au for more information or contact the company directly to discuss opportunities. Vacant commercial property can be listed instantly from any device.

你曾经尝试过租赁商业空间吗？一间办公室？一家商店？仓库？你可能会发现非常耗时、昂贵，有浏览难度，也不是特别透明。

30岁的 Simon Hanlon 是一个驻扎墨尔本，从律师转行的科技企业家。他看中了这个新品种资源的潜能，积极追求网络扩展。由于感受到目前商业租赁方式与分类空间的低效率，以美国成功的房屋租赁网站 Airbnb 风格作为开拓商业地产市场方式。

“澳大利亚的在线网络景观较为闭塞，而且侧重代理，少数大型商家占据了空间，导致刚性、昂贵和非友善的租赁消费经验。”

Sidespace (http://www.sidespace.com.au) 是一个连接商业出租者与潜在租户的网站，公司的愿景是拓展大众化的商业租赁市场。

与现有商业现况不同的是，Sidespace 目的是接受所有市场参与者，包括来自个人、企业、房地产开发商、购物中心、资产管理者、现有租户(转租)和其他，甚至商业地产代理。

这个平台还提供有效的渠道寻求非传统的市场机会，如转租或者短期到中期的安排，使需求者更容易租到商业空间。而促使Simon Hanlon展开这个计划，是因为遭遇了一名典型商业租户的经历。

“我当时寻觅租赁一个12个月期的采购仓库。尽管是开出6位数的租金，一些代理商也不愿意招待或者让房东直接联系我。”

Sidespace 得到私人投资者包括 Jason Yeap  OAM 和一些团队的支持，并且认为这将是一个成功的在线体验案子。

首个策略重点放在移动手机与精致快速的用户体验，实惠的价格和扎实的客户服务，再加上积极的营销活动，并且确保一致流量的租户网站。

不同规模的用户将在商业空间的网站上汇集，大型的开发商如 Lend Lease，小公司像Sidespace，如果谁能成功转租本身柯林斯街道的办公室，更是极大地促进了成果。
