Investing. Financing. Delivered Differently.

Private Investment House + Private Commercial Finance Partner to the Property Sector 

Introducing 
PrivateInvest

At PrivateInvest, we operate as a Private Investment House and Fund Manager, providing wholesale clients with access to real estate credit and equity investment opportunities.

Our investment approach focuses on structuring and selecting opportunities aligned with defined risk and return objectives, delivering tailored solutions for our investor base.

Investment opportunities are available exclusively to wholesale clients as defined under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

We work with a select group of wholesale investors, including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors, supported by compliance-driven processes and a relationship-led approach. We also collaborate closely with brokers, developers, and borrowers to facilitate access to property finance and investment opportunities aligned to their objectives. Our disciplined, risk-aware approach supports the delivery of bespoke finance solutions and assists partners with efficient transaction structuring.

Whether you are an investor, developer, or broker, you can leverage our national platform and diversified portfolio spanning site acquisition, land subdivision, residential, industrial, commercial, and hospitality sectors. In addition to credit strategies, PrivateInvest may also participate in equity investments in select developments and originate structured property finance transactions, including those in excess of $100 million.

Across all stakeholders, our hands-on engagement and extensive experience across property development, construction, funds management, banking, valuation, and feasibility analysis supports informed decision-making at every stage of a transaction.

We Specialise Exclusively in the Property Sector

Like the wedge-tailed eagle, our reach extends across Australia. With a national presence spanning key metropolitan and regional markets, we provide investors, brokers, and developers with access to tailored real estate credit and equity opportunities.

At PrivateInvest, our focus is singular, property. This dedicated focus, combined with deep industry knowledge and practical experience, allows us to structure solutions that reflect the unique characteristics, objectives, and risk profiles of each opportunity.

With extensive experience across property development, we understand the industry from site acquisition and planning approvals through delivery, exit strategies, and capital structuring. This perspective ensures opportunities are assessed through both a development and commercial lens, not solely as financial transactions.

Proprietary research frameworks and strong direct relationships guide our approach, enabling practical, tailored solutions while recognising the inherent risks of property investment.

Whether participating in credit strategies, equity investments, or structured property finance transactions including opportunities in excess of $100 million, PrivateInvest brings hands-on expertise and a commercially minded approach to every stage of a transaction.
