MaxCap’s Direct Investment team has established an enviable record of success in originating and managing high-yielding investments, particularly in the mid-market joint venture development space. The team is currently managing a diversified portfolio with a total end value of over $5bn, including partnerships with Australia’s leading private real estate developers.
"After a hugely successful sales launch, we are excited to progress into the next stage of the project, with such experienced, capable and professional partners like Central Element and Growthbuilt.”

Demand for the SJB designed collection of ultra-luxury one, two, three and four-bedroom residences has been significant, resulting in unparalleled levels of enquiry and top-of-the-market prices. In October 2022, off-the-plan sales for Ethos were launched, and an impressive 60% of the development was sold during the opening weekend.
The state-of-the-art display suite located at 3 Spring Street in Chatswood is open daily for further interested buyers who can immerse themselves in the principles of Ethos. Visual insights into the project are advanced through digital technology and customers can visualise the quality of finishes by viewing the kitchen and bathroom display.
Completion of the development is anticipated for early 2025.
