OUR FOCUS
No two development sites are the same, and no two owners are the same.
We act for private landowners, developers, institutional investors and operators. Every campaign is planned around the site, the market and the buyer most likely to pay for it.

WHAT WE DO
One specialty: development sites and the deals around them.
Everything we do centres on land with development potential, and on getting the transaction right for the people on both sides of it.
01
Site sales
Campaigns for infill sites, superlots and broadacre land, run by expressions of interest or private sale to suit the asset and the market.
02
Acquisitions
We source and negotiate sites for developers, investors and operators, drawing on a long-held network of landowners and industry contacts.
03
Advisory
Planning context, timing and method. We work with planning consultants where needed, so you know where your land sits before you go to market.
04
Transaction management
Negotiation, deal structuring, terms and land development agreements, managed through to settlement.

Many factors affect value: size, location, aspect, zoning, construction access, services, planning overlays, inundation, contamination, competition, finance and current market conditions. It is not a simple process, and that is where we help.
-
That depends on what you are trying to achieve. In our experience, the earlier we meet and talk through the options, the better prepared you will be, whether you sell now or later.
-
Yes. It is always better to understand where your land sits from a planning perspective. We work with a number of planning consultants, depending on what is required.
-
Trust your research. Work with someone qualified and experienced, who has transacted similar property and can point to reputable industry contacts.
-
A Land Development Agreement is an agreement between a landowner and a developer that governs the development of a parcel of land. There is no standard form. Landowners sometimes use them to increase their return without taking on development risk, as most LDAs include a minimum payout by the developer.
