Property Developments
Feasibility, site strategy, planning pathways and delivery oversight for residential and mixed-use projects, from raw site to handover.
Every property has a solution
Corporate property advisor to developers, value-add commercial owners, family offices and managed funds, working Australia-wide.
I'm Trent Macartney. I advise developers, private families and funds on property that does not fit a template: sites with a planning problem, commercial assets trading below their potential, and deals that have stalled. I'm not tied to one city or state: the work follows the deal, wherever in Australia it sits.
Where most people see a roadblock, I look for another way in. There is always a solution to every property.
