Partnering up with somebody to do a property development project is not uncommon but would you do it with your sibling and take on some big towers? But before we get to that, here’s a quick update on my townhouse projects. Construction is moving along nicely with project 1, most of the site is at lock up stage, which is good. Actually had a meeting with a council enforcement officer last week to discuss noise complaints from a neighbor but fortunately we were compliant with our obligations so no action will be taken against us. Been spending this week working through the usual build ability issues that pop up on site. On my other project, we are trying to finalize all the documentation and supporting materials to go back into council for endorsement and the building permit. It seems we are getting approval for the shorter crossover alignment, which has taken nearly 12 months to resolve. I’ve also booked in the demolition of the existing house. Still a lot to do on this project with getting funding finalized and construction started. Episode Guests Today’s guests are brothers Fayad and Remon Fayad from Ellerson Property in Sydney. Based in Parramatta, in Sydney’s west, Fayad and Remon have between them 40 years of experience in property. Having grown up in a family of builders, the boys have joined forces to deliver a range of project in the residential, retail and commercial sectors. In this chat, we discuss why they decided to team up, their focus on understanding the customer journey and what they learnt from the pullback of bank funding. Keep an ear out for the discussion around running design competitions.
