About Australian Leisure Property

Specialist hospitality, tourism and leisure property guidance for owners, buyers and operators preparing for sale, acquisition or transition.

Australian Leisure Property helps owners, buyers and operators make clearer decisions across hospitality property, tourism and leisure assets. This includes hotels, motels, restaurants, cafés, tourism businesses, leisure assets and related commercial property opportunities.

Led by Con Tastzidis, Australian Leisure Property brings together hands-on hospitality and business management experience, commercial property expertise, and decades of business and commercial property brokerage insight.

Before establishing CST Properties, Con worked inside businesses in operational and management roles, giving him a practical understanding of the pressures owners face while running, improving and eventually preparing to sell or transition.

Through the Hospitality Transition Edge approach, Australian Leisure Property looks beyond the listing itself. We consider the business, the property, the lease or freehold structure, trading performance, buyer demand, presentation, timing and future use potential — so owners and buyers can move forward with greater confidence.

Hospitality Property and Leisure Assets Require Specialist Understanding

Hospitality and leisure assets are different from standard commercial property. The value is often shaped by both the property and the business operating within it. Buyers may consider trading history, staffing, systems, lease terms, approvals, location, tourism demand, fit-out, future use and the confidence they have in the information provided.

This is why a hospitality or leisure property transaction needs more than a basic sales approach. It needs commercial judgement, operational understanding and clear positioning.

Modern Transition Support for Hospitality and Property Owners

Australian Leisure Property also assists hospitality, real estate and business owners who want to improve their systems, strengthen revenue, review feasibility and prepare for future transition. This may include using modern technology to better understand operations, buyer demand, income potential, market positioning and future options.

For some owners, the goal is to prepare for sale. For others, it may involve business improvement, acquisition planning, feasibility studies, mergers, partnerships or repositioning before a major decision is made.

How We Help

Australian Leisure Property assists with hospitality and leisure property sales, business sales, buyer matching, market positioning, preparation before sale and strategic guidance around the best way to present an asset.

This may include reviewing business systems, revenue opportunities, lease or freehold position, feasibility, buyer demand, confidentiality, timing, presentation and the information needed to support serious buyer enquiry or acquisition discussions.

Connected to CST Properties

Australian Leisure Property works alongside CST Properties, combining specialist hospitality and leisure property focus with broader commercial real estate and business brokerage experience.

For owners who are planning an exit or succession over the next few years, rather than selling now, Legacy Architects provides business and property transition planning, helping you prepare the business, the property and the family for the right outcome when the time comes.
