Sam Christensen is a dedicated property professional and co-owner of Trident Property Advisory primarily overseeing the management division of the business as Director – Asset Management. He commenced with the firm in 2018 as a Property Manager after transitioning from a leadership role with a residential agency and quickly rose through the ranks first to Director and then to equity co-owner. Sam brings a wealth of hands-on and service-driven management experience across the commercial, retail & residential asset classes. He has been fortunate to manage and oversee hundreds of properties across his career offering exposure to a broad range of investments. This diverse experience base has shaped the tailored service that he provides to tenants and landlords alike.
Property is an industry where no two days are ever the same. Sam’s skillset allows him to seamlessly transition between all facets of the role moving between the management of a multi-million dollar building services upgrade project to negotiating lease terms with ASX-listed tenants to working through the compliance obligations of a large-scale office site in a matter of hours. He is passionate about his clients and relishes in seeing the positive contributions that his work has on an asset, and, ultimately, the financial and built-environment improvements to all stakeholders.
Sam takes a proactive management approach across all assets and continuously maintains sight on the medium- and long-term considerations. Lifecycle planning forms a critical component for the success of any investment and his asset management team not only understand this but place emphasis on it in all their recommendations. This results in outcomes attune with the strategic goals of the investor.
