We are thrilled to have been named preferred on the 3 McNab Avenue Build to Rent (BTR) development in Footscray for our new client Investa. The development is Investa’s first BTR project being rolled out as part of a proposed multi-billion dollar pipeline under their new ‘Indi’ brand in partnership with Oxford Properties.
In what we believe may be an industry first, the New Business team first tendered the project as Probuild in December 2021, were shortlisted as Probuild in February 2022, submitted a best and final offer as Probuild (Under Administration) in March 2022 and then went on to negotiate the project to preferred status as Roberts Co throughout April 2022. This process was aided strongly by an existing relationship with the Roberts Co business and we hope this is a sign of more good things to come in the New Business space moving forward.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Andrew La Rocca, Ben Williams, Sean Treweek, Jarrad Swilks, Peter Ioannidis, Andrew Bos, Nick Todd, Emily Kidd, Mark Timmins, Ben Bugeja, Martina Tregoning, Elliot Bickers and Peter Gallagher. This team worked closely together through very testing times for our business and despite the circumstances, continued to instil confidence in the client at every step of the way in order to realise this amazing opportunity, well done to all.
Key project features and stats are as follows:
The project win cements Roberts Co’s place in the Melbourne market and builds on our strong heritage and experience in the Residential and Built to Rent sectors. This is also an important win strategically with yet another institutional client “Investa” who will bring many more opportunities throughout their portfolio in the future
