Land and partnerships
What We Look
For in a Site
If you hold land, represent a vendor, or are looking for a development partner, it helps to know what we say yes to before either of us spends time on it.
We develop across residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, industrial and community projects, and we retain an interest in what we build. That last part narrows things considerably. A site has to make sense not only at settlement, but in the tenth year, when the marketing has long stopped and the building has to earn its keep.
We would rather tell you no in the first conversation than in the sixth. If a site does not work, we will usually say why, and occasionally we are wrong. Either way, you get an answer rather than a process.
Location
Zoning
Feasibility
Longevity
Most of a development is decided before the first excavator arrives.
A site tells you what it cannot do long before it tells you what it can.
The cheapest decision at year one is rarely the cheapest by year ten.
