111 – Developing an iconic tower on billionaire’s row

Imagine going from no property development experience to delivering one of the most iconic towers overlooking Central Park in New York City, one of the world’s most expensive real estate markets.  David Juracich did just that. David is originally from Australia before moving overseas to work in banking and finance. He ended up in New York City and was involved with building an amazing slimline residential tower overlooking Central Park along what has become known as Billionaire’s Row. I thought my first project being 20 townhomes was a great start, but this guy did a huge apartment project in Brooklyn for his first development project. His story of how he got involved with property development in New York City is quite amazing, and includes his involvement in an 84 level slimline skyscraper called Steinway Tower overlooking Central Park which apparently cost $2bn to build, yes that’s $2 billion dollars. Can you imagine the capital stack on that project? This is quite an incredible story of a guy stumbling into large scale property developing in one of the world’s most expensive real estate markets.

110 – Surviving the Boom to Bust Rollercoaster

Bouncing back after adversity is a story we all love, so hearing from a developer who went big only for things to unravel with costly and complex legal challenges is a fascinating insight into always striving toward your life goals. Iwan Sunito from One Global Capital is a seasoned property developer who has enjoyed several decades of success doing some major projects under his former company Crown Group. Crown developed some significant projects over the years to the value of around $4 billion before Iwan and his business partner had a falling out, which has led to a series of legal battles and ongoing challenges, which we discuss during our conversation. Iwan says One Goal Capital has a $1 billion pipeline of work that he is focused on to continue his vision of delivering city shaping projects. This was a really interesting chat for me because way back when I started the podcast and I was thinking about people I would like to have on the show Iwan was on the list so it was great to finally be able to sit down and speak with him, particularly in light of the challenges he is facing. I’m sure you will enjoy listing to Iwan’s story and appreciate some of the lessons he shares.

109 – Meth Lab to Stylish Sanctuary

Tackling your first development project is usually an emotional journey and it was no different for a young architect who turned her focus on delivering an exquisite duplex property. Jenn Sinclair accidentally discovered that she had bought a former meth lab as the property she planned on turning into a luxury home. It was the start of her journey toward becoming a property developer. She was inspired by designing and building her family home and decided to take on a duplex project and test her skills out to see if she could successfully execute a development project. Jenn decided to do two very different interiors and finishes on each unit and this created challenges along the way as she often doubled her choices and decision making. Jenn invested a lot of time and emotion into her project and learnt a lot along the way which she shares with us including: - the difference a great builder can make during a project - trusting in yourself to deliver something special - working collaboratively with your team to get better results This is a great story about a young developer trying to produce something special and succeeding.

106 – From humble plasterer to successful property developer

Does working in a property-related trade mean you can easily transition into the world of property developer? Just because you understand one small part of a development project doesn’t automatically mean you can run a development project, but it can certainly help. My guest on this episode is Mark Lovett from Liquid Silver Developments. Mark has a long and storied career doing small to medium scale development projects, starting out as a plasterer before moving into property investing. He then decided to try his hand at property developing and purchased his first site with absolutely no idea of what he was doing, and later found out there was an underground stream running through the site. We have a great conversation covering things like: - Understanding your risk appetite and how that will effect your decision making - How his initial due diligence evolved from doing nothing - What he has done throughout his career that has helped him succeed.

105 – From entry level property development projects to high end luxury

Working on luxury projects is often a dream for many people who get involved with property developing, moving from renovations and entry level projects to something more challenging and high-end. Justin O'Donnell from Cielo Property Group has followed this path and started out with small projects before evolving into luxury townhouses and apartment projects. Along the way he has faced many challenges, and he shares how he overcame them and some of lessons learned including the benefits of growing slowly, responding to the challenges of construction by taking on the building risk, and the perennial issue of obtaining permits from councils.
