Commercial Specialist Josh Deluca Returns to WA in Strategic CBRE Role

CBRE has strengthened its Western Australia operations with the appointment of experienced industrial and logistics specialist Josh Deluca, who returns to Perth to take on a newly created Capital Markets role.

The appointment enhances the firm’s presence in a high demand sector and reflects increasing investor interest in Western Australia’s evolving industrial landscape.

Deluca’s new position focuses on industrial and logistics sales, bringing together capital markets strategy, investment advisory and transaction expertise within CBRE’s established WA Industrial and Logistics team.

His move follows several years working within the firm’s eastern states operations, where he developed capability across institutional and corporate transactions within the broader national portfolio.

The establishment of this dedicated role reflects the growing sophistication of the industrial and logistics segment, which continues to attract strong capital flows and sustained enquiry from private, corporate and institutional buyers.

Industrial land, warehousing and logistics assets remain central to Australia’s broader economic activity, and Western Australia’s strategic location has amplified demand for specialist advisory and sales expertise.

For CBRE, Deluca’s return reinforces the firm’s commitment to servicing investors with greater depth, local intelligence and specialised insight.

The WA industrial market has continued to evolve, supported by infrastructure growth, strategic freight corridors and increased demand for logistics capacity.

Dedicated capital markets capability enables CBRE to respond more effectively to these dynamics and deliver stronger outcomes for clients navigating complex industrial transactions.

Deluca’s return to Western Australia also aligns with a broader national trend. Experienced commercial professionals are increasingly repositioning themselves into growth regions outside the east coast, drawn by expanding investment activity, diverse buyer profiles and the opportunity to influence markets undergoing structural uplift.

This shift underscores the importance of combining hyper local knowledge with national connectivity and sophisticated deal execution.

For agents and commercial practitioners, the appointment highlights the rising importance of specialist skills within industrial property.

Investors are seeking clarity, speed and informed advisory across all phases of the transaction process, and agencies with dedicated capital markets functions are better placed to capture and convert opportunities.
