OUR SERVICES

INVESTMENT
At Pro-invest Group, we have developed clear investment themes that we believe are the most likely segments, geographies or channels to generate out-performing investments. Working from these we identify and select opportunities by a combination of understanding the site, market dynamics, concept, brand and design.
We undertake a rigorous bottom-up underwriting process, ensuring risks are identified and appropriately factored into return expectations.
We manage investments in the hotel, commercial, residential, retail repositioning and retirement sectors. These cover development, value add and stabilised categories and include build-to-sell and build-to-rent opportunities.
DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN
We have an extensive track record of successfully delivering development and repositioning programs, for both hotels and other real estate classes, in Australasia, Europe and the Middle East.
This includes programmatic branded new build portfolios, value add repositioning of existing assets and re-branding of hotel properties to meet brand standards.
We deliver modern products that fit the markets and customer segments they aim to serve and equally importantly are efficient to build and operate. This includes incorporating the latest trends in product design and building for future requirements in areas such as IT and the environment. We bring best practices and ideas from around the globe to projects and believe in actively engaging with brand owners to ensure their standards and requirements are effective and add value. Our assets are built to maximise an owner’s asset value on a future sale. We achieve this by anticipating product developments, particularly in relation to environmental impact.
Our leadership’s more than 30 years experience allows us to uniquely add value through construction and design services.
Fundamental to our design philosophy is ensuring all developments, whether they are new build or repositioning, are sustainable, flexible and adaptable. We have won multiple environmental awards and our properties are accredited by leading environmental organisations.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Our asset management teams are committed to maximising the value of your real estate investment. We are experienced in developing and executing business plans that drive profits and deliver efficient operations for all major real estate categories. Typically these plans involve a combination of the application of capital, changes in operations and branding.
Managing risk is integral to the asset management process, whether it is liquidity, currency, legal or compliance. Pro-invest Group are experienced in identifying, managing, and mitigating these risks by combinations of processes, insurance tools or other means.
