About Julian Ackad

“It's not about bricks and mortar, its about people and the creation of a place where people want to be, whether they work there or shop there.”Julian has an extensive background in retail property having held key roles in the property team for Australia's largest retailer where he was responsible for the development pipeline for five states and more recently in the QSR/fast food sector where he managed the real estate portfolio for NSW and ACT.Julian is responsible for over 100 new service station / fast food developments which puts him among the most experienced in the sector.Julian's core competency is his entrepreneurial mindset which allows him to understand the businesses that he works with. Julian uses this knowledge to determine network strategy, site selection, and site design to ensure each new outlet performs strongly in highly competitive markets. One of the few retail property developers who has experienced life on both sides of the fence, Julian's valuable tenant side experience gives him an understanding of the key drivers for new outlets. And, importantly, over the years Julian has formed strong industry relationships built on trust and integrity which allow candid discussions on new sites and a partnership approach to problem solving and achieving outcomes.Julian founded Spectrum Retail Group in March 2017 and currently serves as the group's Managing Director. Spectrum Retail is focused on real estate development, investment and management for the convenience retail and fast food sectors.
