Ben Burston

I am the Chief Economist and Head of Research & Consulting at Knight Frank Australia. I oversee our research program spanning all states and sectors nationally and am a lead spokesperson for the firm on property market conditions and outlook.

My key focus is providing our clients and our people with the research and innovative thinking they need to achieve exceptional results. I identify emerging trends in the market and the wider economy that will influence future performance and unlock new opportunities over the short and long term and communicate these in a way that is accessible, insightful, and impactful.

With many years of experience in Australia and overseas as a macroeconomist and property research professional, I bring a deep understanding of real estate investment trends and their underlying drivers across all the major asset classes. This expertise enables me to deliver the broad perspective and deep insight that our clients and our people need to drive success and ensure they are future-ready.

I work pro-actively and collaboratively with our global and local research teams to offer our clients the best possible advice, drawing together our collective expertise to achieve exceptional outcomes in the true spirit of partnership.
