We take a different approach to creating value and managing risk in real estate.
We advise on, develop, transact and invest in real estate – our own, our clients’ and in conjunction with investment partners. We provide creative solutions that maximise value while managing risk and the requirements of key stakeholders.
How we can help you
We provide commercially focused and strategic advisory services.
-
We help clients achieve strategically important commercial outcomes from their real estate holdings. From individual properties to the macro-organisational level, clients rely on our experience, deep market knowledge and strong industry relationships to enhance owned property value and minimise lease liabilities
-
We critically analyse, manage and execute strategies associated with distressed and challenged real estate assets. We help clients during any stage of an asset’s lifecycle, including partially completed construction projects, vacant or underperforming assets or residual stock, often resulting in a transaction.

We establish, manage, capitalise and co-invest in real estate investment opportunities through our commercial fund manager, KM Property Funds. Managing circa $330 million of direct property investments around Australia, we optimise investment performance and returns.

Through KM Develop, we take medium-density, metropolitan residential opportunities right through to project delivery and settlement. Also an active investment partner, we contribute capital to small- and mid-scale joint venture projects with respected developers.
