Organisation: Mirvac Group

Mirvac is a leading integrated real estate group, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") with activities across the investment and development spectrum. Among other things, they own the land which was formerly Waverley Park in Mulgrave, Melbourne, Victoria and are now developing residential properties on it. Mirvac also developed the Walsh Bay precinct in The Rocks, Sydney, New South Wales, converting five piers and several warehouses into luxury apartments, commercial spaces, and venues for the arts. Established in 1972, Mirvac has more than 40 years experience in the real estate industry. According to its website, the business association that was to become Mirvac began developing property on a joint venture basis during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The joint venturers were two men from Sydney, Robert Hamilton and Henry Pollack, who had already enjoyed considerable success as separate entities in the property industry. Robert had opened a real estate agency on Sydney's north shore in 1961, marketing and selling apartments and advising developers. Henry was an architect and builder. Together they formed an alliance to complete four projects in Sydney. In 1972 Mirvac was launched. Within the investment division, Mirvac owns and manages 68 investment grade properties valued at more than $6.8 billion. The portfolio includes commercial offices, retail centres, industrial properties and hotels across Australia. Tenants include major organisations, leading Australian and international companies, and Government bodies.
