Investment
Philosophy
The founders of the business have invested, and will continue to invest, in every project we undertake. Having ‘skin in the game’ and therefore viewing our investors as partners is an implicit part of our investment philosophy. We place a high value on deal discipline, risk mitigation and transparency. Above all else, and of paramount importance, is the trust placed in us by our investors.  

Our diversified, lean business model is a deliberate strategy to ensure deal quality and sustainability. We seek to align group revenue to outperformance of our deals, thereby structuring our business in such a way to provide absolute alignment. Our investment model is simple and easy to understand. Each new syndicate is undertaken via a unit trust and manged by GM Property Group. Senior debt is secured against the property where appropriate on a non-recourse basis to investors.

Investment Strategy
GM Property Group's success is a result of our strategic and focused approach. We complete significant analysis of broader macro and specific micro drivers, as well as market specific drivers assessing higher and better uses. 

We sift through countless opportunities and end up concluding few. Any deal we complete needs to be compelling and meet our stringent investment and development criteria. 

Since its inception, our investment division has transacted over $450m (approx.) of real estate through over 17 separate ventures. Importantly we have divested assets when appropriate, providing important liquidity and realised returns to investors.   
Invest With Us

Our investment thesis for more than a decade has been centred around:

Buying in areas with limited land supply, land rich acquisitions (whereby the underlying land value comprises a meaningful proportion of the total purchase price), purchasing at a discount to land and building replacement cost, nonspecialised improvements, where possible multiple tenancies diversifying the income and divestment optionality comprise some of the features we look for in an investment opportunity.
• Infill locations. Example: Blackburn (VIC), Tingalpa (QLD)

• Leveraging existing or developing locational infrastructure. Example: Mulgrave (VIC)

• Core markets. Example: Wacol (QLD), Welshpool (WA)

• Parochial/localised markets with compelling supply/demand features and limited institutional ownership presence. Example: Wantirna (VIC)
Where possible we are primarily focused on acquiring well located property that is discounted by the broader market due to short term and rectifiable flaws: be they physical or financial. By providing lateral solutions and utilising our expertise we are able to solve the perceived ‘problems’ and thereby increase the underlying asset value.
Our investment thesis allows us to hone in specifically on locales. This results in intense focus on geographical submarkets. We pound the pavement and develop an intimate understanding of the tapestry of the sub-market, from tenant movements to owner profiles. This helps us understand the assets we invest in.
Examples completed by the group include extensive refurbishment, re-letting and re-location of tenants within our investment portfolio, title consolidation and amalgamation, subdivision, seeking and receiving development approvals over surplus land.
Development Strategy
GM Property Group's success has been a result of our strategic and focused approach. We complete significant analysis of local market conditions to ensure an intense focus on Western Australia based opportunities in land subdivision, social infrastructure and mixed-use projects.   

We draw on the extensive market knowledge, experience and industry contacts of the group to source, negotiate and secure attractive development opportunities. Our well-defined, selective strategy results in the intense focus. We immerse ourselves in the field and specialise in the area. We are not all things to everyone. 

Since inception the development division has developed projects totalling circa $230 million in gross realisations via 24 separate ventures.

Our development thesis for more than a decade has been centred around: 

Simple principles supporting the premise of ‘value’ such as: 
• Buying in areas that have limited land supply with demonstrated demand from buyers 
• Ensuring a competitive cost base to achieve market-share in all market conditions 
• Leverage infrastructure delivery and planning outcomes achieved by others 
• Looking to add value through the planning and rezoning process
• Infill locations within 25 kilometres from the Perth CBD 
• Targeting areas with fragmented land holdings that require land assembly. 
• Growth areas benefiting from planned or new infrastructure 
• First and second homebuyer areas leveraging support from the major residential builders
We acquire land without debt and introduce development funding on a non-recourse basis at construction stage. This is a deliberate risk mitigation approach and an important distinction to our competitors. 
Undertaking only Perth metropolitan projects, we have an intense focus on understanding the drivers of a successful project. From competitor analysis, land supply metrics, building company coverage, contractor support and statutory frameworks, our disciplined and localised approach keeps us in good stead.
