About

Commercially astute development professional with over a decade in experience spanning site origination, capital structuring, approvals, design management, procurement, delivery and project exit. I blend investor-grade financial rigour with on-the-ground delivery discipline to unlock highest-and-best-use outcomes, compress programs and maximise ROIC across residential, mixed-use, hotel, commercial and retail assets. Alongside development management, I also operate as a Buyers Agent across SEQ, helping clients secure quality property — on and off-market — through rigorous due diligence, negotiation, site assessment and long-term value analysis. I’ve purchased property on behalf of clients and saved them a substantial amount through strong valuation discipline and strategic negotiation. This dual lens gives clients a clear advantage: the insight of a developer with the advocacy of an independent adviser. ⸻ Signature strengths • P&L ownership, capital allocation & portfolio strategy • Feasibility modelling & investment committee packs • JV structuring, capital partnerships & acquisitions • DA/CDC approvals, risk management & compliance • Procurement, contract strategy & value engineering • Sales/marketing/leasing go-to-market planning • Program optimisation & high-trust stakeholder leadership ⸻ Career highlights (simplified) • $1.0bn+ project exposure across residential, mixed-use, hotel and retail, from $700k fitouts to $500m+ precincts. • Led capital deals and acquisitions, securing a $100m+ GDV pipeline across SEQ & NSW. • Accelerated DA/CDC approvals on complex coastal and infill sites. • Compressed programs by 3–6 months through smarter procurement and sequencing. • Lifted absorption and pricing, achieving 2–4% sales uplifts on key releases. • Improved buildability and reduced rework via passive design, lifecycle cost controls and early DfMA integration. ⸻ What I do • Buyers Agent (SEQ): Search, due diligence, off-market access, negotiation and settlement support. • Development Management: Feasibility, design coordination, consultant management and financial modelling. • Acquisitions & Site Assessment: Identifying opportunities, analysing constraints and determining highest-and-best-use outcomes. I collaborate with mortgage brokers, financial advisers, agents, fund managers, HNWI and industry partners to deliver a streamlined, informed property experience for buyers and developers. My focus remains constant: deliver clarity, protect value, reduce risk and execute with precision.
