Biography

Gregory Rowe is a founding director of Preston Rowe Paterson, one of Australia’s leading independent property valuation, advisory and property management firms. Since co founding the business in Sydney in the late 1980s, Gregory has played a central role in its evolution from a boutique practice into a national organisation with offices across all Australian capital cities, key regional centres, and an international presence through New Zealand and global affiliations. Gregory also heads up the firm’s business and client development for corporate e and government clients.

Gregory has extensive experience spanning 40 years across real estate valuation, asset, plant and machinery valuation, portfolio administration, and strategic property consultancy, acting for government agencies, institutional owners, corporates, financiers, insurers and private clients. His work spans all major asset classes, including commercial office, industrial warehouses and logistics facilities, retail shops and shopping centres, hotel and leisure properties, residential development projects, rural assets and special purpose properties.

A key focus of Gregory’s practice is large scale portfolio valuation and administration, where consistency, governance and audit defensibility are critical. He has led valuation and advisory mandates covering multi asset and multi location portfolios, supporting clients with recurring valuation programs, portfolio re measurement, internal governance reporting and strategic asset decision making. Public profiles do not enumerate individual client names; however, this portfolio work includes mandates for major listed and institutional property owners, including large industrial and logistics portfolios, where disciplined methodology and standardisation across assets are essential.

Gregory also has deep experience in insurance valuation, providing advice for replacement cost assessments, risk management, and insurance placement purposes. His work in this area requires a detailed understanding of construction methodology, plant and equipment, depreciation, obsolescence and compliance with insurer and broker requirements. These assignments frequently involve complex and specialised assets where the interaction between real property, plant and machinery must be carefully assessed.

Another core specialisation is asset valuation for financial reporting, where Gregory advises clients in accordance with applicable accounting standards and regulatory frameworks. He regularly undertakes valuations for balance sheet reporting, impairment testing, acquisition accounting and ongoing re measurement of property, plant and equipment portfolios. This work demands a high level of technical rigour, documentation discipline and audit ready reporting, particularly for listed entities, government bodies and large corporates.

Beyond technical valuation, Gregory is closely involved in the strategic direction, financial management and governance of Preston Rowe Paterson. He has contributed significantly to the firm’s national expansion, service diversification and reputation for dealing with complex, high risk and non standard assignments. His leadership reflects a strong emphasis on independence, professional standards and commercially grounded advice that can withstand scrutiny from auditors, regulators, financiers and the courts.

Through his ongoing role at Preston Rowe Paterson, Gregory continues to combine hands on client engagement with firm wide leadership, delivering valuation and advisory services that support portfolio owners, insurers and reporting entities across the full lifecycle of property and asset ownership.
