Often the board knows they need to do more with their property assets – yet a lack of awareness about how to develop the correct strategy or who to ask for assistance creates roadblocks.
This is where Urbanite comes in to help you through these roadblocks.
Our asset advisory services range from a single portfolio review & project advisory, through to partnering with clubs, NFP’s & broad asset holders through a major redevelopment or acquisition program. We tailor the solution to suit each clients needs. At the core of the advice, we are here to help organisational investors get the most out of the property assets, and make robust property decisions. We provide advice, guidance & analysis to step them through each milestone

Detailed Solutions
Portfolio Reviews
We work with clients to review and unpack smaller portfolios, right up to large 300+ portfolios with a range of residential, commercial, industrial, retail and development assets. This services is aimed to facilitate decision making around acquisition, disposal, cash flow management and ensure each asset is being utilised at its highest and best use.
Options Assessments & Economic Analysis
This is a common starting point for many of our clients who already own property asset and are just not sure what to do with them, or how to ensure they are delivering the strongest returns. When we work with clubs in particular, the board often knows they can be doing more with the assets but are unsure of where to begin the journey. An options assessment is the best place to start. Whilst town planners can provide all the ‘allowed uses’ for a site, it is important to know what will be financially viable, what the market wants, the uses that will offer the highest returns and most importantly – what is aligned to your business and organisational goals.
EOI’s for Major Projects & JV’s
Urbanite have worked on many major projects for organisational investors such as clubs, NFP’s and Showgrounds, from smaller F&B precincts to $250+ Mil mixed use projects. Urbanite’s role included developing the strategy and reviewing various options for the site, tailoring this to the organisations vision and operational capabilities, economic analysis of the options, undertaking an EOI process to market, engaging with JV partners for the project, negotiate the commercial terms of the deal for the client (land owner), identify and mitigate risk for the client.
Development Application Pathways (DA’s)
Many of our client are traditionally not developers but find themselves embarking on a major project to redevelop their under-utilised assets to increase their ROI or diversify their revenue. When this happens, we work with the board and CEO to develop and manage the project strategy and key milestones from inception to DA.
We provide advisory and execution of strategy, risk metric, prevent & solve problems, coordinate consultants, time frames, budgets, market analysis, end user experience and all other facets of the project lifespan through to DA and then partner the landowner with a project and development manager to deliver the construction elements.
Commercial & Development Site Acquisitions
Our team are made up of certified practising valuers, buyers’ agents and qualified development specialists to ensure that every property acquisition we make for our clients is good value and aligned to their strategy. We undertake thorough due diligence on every property recommended and each of our executive team individually have over 20 years valuation and advisory experience to ensure your success.
Peer Reviews & Land Tax Objections
We are often engaged to peer review other advisors work so that our clients’ can ensure they have completed a high level of DD before embarking on major projects.
Our valuation team also specialise in land tax reviews and have a high level of success in getting many overtured-on objection. We can review your land tax for a minimal review fee and if there are grounds to lodge an objection we can manage the whole process for you, end to end. In NSW you can also object to the two-years prior and this can create substantial savings.

All of our advisors are qualified property valuers with extensive industry experience. We do not have a construction arm, development division or sales team, so our advice is never self-serving to pick up a construction project or sales opportunity. We are independent and always maintain a high level of integrity and never take on projects or clients where a conflict of interest could arise.
