Strategic Land Acquisition
A Boutique offering – Growth Property Guided by Engineering and Analysis
We specialize in land acquisition, helping you unlock the potential of underutilized land typically on the outskirts of urban centres. Our approach is unique, combining expert market analysis with engineering insights to guide you through the complexities of land acquisition.
We understand that investing in land is more than just purchasing property - it’s about finding areas with growth potential, infrastructure pipeline, strategic location, and long-term value. We focus on identifying under-the-radar acquisitions that can yield significant returns as population growth drives urban expansion.
Our Consulting Services Include
Deal Finding
We complete analysis on all types of growth land. We can identify properties where we believe the sale price is below market value. These properties can generate instant equity or give your development a higher chance of success.
Strategic Site Selection
Assessing factors such as accessibility, zoning, development potential, and future infrastructure plans. Site selection is the most important aspect of any development project.
Site Sourcing
We leverage our network of Real Estate professionals and databases to identify growth land for you. You are then free to negotiate directly with the Owners
Comprehensive Land Analysis
Technical and market analysis based on growth indicators, supply/demand fundamentals, and development context
Risk and Return Optimisation
For potential developments, we provide clear financial models to assess the expected return on investment and minimize potential risks. This is a critical step in any feasibility study
“We calculate KPI’s such as residual land values, NPV, IRR, WACC and break- even analysis. We apply debt and equity structures for understanding capital requirements and how returns will be distributed to Investors and Lenders. We stress test the property and perform sensitivity and probability analysis. Any number of factors outside your control can change after purchasing. It’s important to understand your buffers to guide decisions on contingency and risk”
End to End Support
From acquisition through to development or sale, we ensure your land aligns with broader market trends. We can assist with guidance on engineering and development aspects of the process.
Land Appraisals
If you are a landowner holding strategic land, many of these parcels are hard to value. This is because the land value is tied to the business case of development and can vary widely depending on the type of proposed development. Comparative Market Analysis principles that Real Estate Agents or Bank Valuers use to value landbanks can be overly simplistic. We look at residual land value through the lens of a Property Developer to give you an idea of realistic prices they could potentially pay for your land.
“We advise on residual land value. We do not act on your behalf as an agent or otherwise. For online listings, you are free to complete your own negotiation/auction bidding armed with the expert advice. For off-market listings, we can connect you with the appropriate landowner for you to undertake negotiations”

Client Feedback
Discover how our services have transformed land development experiences for clients.
Landbanks provided exceptional insights that led to a successful investment in a high growth area. There was almost no liquidity in this area with most all of the recent nearby sales being private sales. In addition, both the Agent and Vendor had no idea how to price the property and put it up for tender. Landbanks used first principles development costs to assess what the land is likely to be worth.

We've been working with landbanks under a retainer structure to identify sites for our development business for three years. As a smaller Developer, finding feasible development sites is the biggest challenge. Landbanks take away the stress of acquisitions, allowing us to focus more time on executing our projects.
