Our purpose is to empower our clients to make a positive impact by providing property and development insights.

We specialise in carefully navigating the competing interests of various stakeholders in order to optimise single or portfolio property assets to better serve organisational purpose and mission. 

Our clear point of difference in the not-for-profit sector is our deep understanding of the non-financial objectives of organisations comprising this sector.

Property assets are often simply considered as a vehicle through which organisations are able to access, service and provide for their clients, constituents and beneficiaries. However, property holdings can be managed more strategically creating a pathway to long term financial sustainability for not-for-profit organisations.

Often, not-for-profit organisations require a sustainability strategy related to ongoing delivery of services. Our specialist team has worked alongside not-for-profit organisations in areas of sustainability, internal delegations, resourcing requirements, process maps, financial forecasting and strategic asset management plans, in order to empower these organisations to determine the best path for their continued delivery of services.

Our expertise includes:  

  • Strategic visioning and collaboration frameworks  
  • Portfolio and single asset strategies
  • Property due-diligence
  • Investment and business cases
  • Transaction structuring and management
  • Asset divestment management
  • Governance frameworks
  • Market sounding
  • Strategic planning advice
  • Stakeholder engagement strategies
  • Development management
  • Financial feasibility assessments
  • Highest and best use analysis
  • Procurement and implementation strategies
