Real expertise.
With real purpose.
We believe, with humility, that we’re good at what we do. We know, with joy, that we love what we do. And we acknowledge, with gratitude, that we’re fortunate to find meaning in what we do.
Our experience has given us broad, rounded expertise that is also deep and detail-oriented. In current and previous roles, we’ve worked in property business development, finance, lending and equity; in property acquisition, construction, refurbishment and asset management. We’ve done this for listed and unlisted property, including inner city housing, retail, office, industrial, residential and mixed use assets. We’ve been involved in big picture stuff like origination, and small details like fittings and fit-outs.
Beyond our skills, we love coming to work. Some people love sport, others love cars. We love property. There is so much to it, and we love everything about it.
We also find immense meaning and satisfaction in what we do here at Solaris, knowing that even our small, seemingly invisible efforts ultimately make a tangible difference to thousands of people, their families and communities.
