Company Overview
Company Overview
Australand Property Group (ALZ) is a stapled security comprising a unit in three trusts and a share in the management company. ALZ owns, develops, and manages industrial, residential and investment property. The Singapore based property group, CapitaLand Ltd, owns approximately 59% of the issued capital.
Company History
Australand emerged from the former Hooker Corporation that collapsed in the property crash of the late 1980s. The company was listed in 1997 with Singapore-based DBS Land (now CapitaLand) as the controlling shareholder. In 1999, Walker Corporation was acquired, extending the group's activities into the commercial, industrial and apartment markets. The Australand Property Group was formed in 2003 with the stapling of Australand Property Trust (APT) units to ALZ shares.
Differentiating Factor
Australand is one of Australia's leading residential property groups with operations centred in Sydney, Melbourne, south east Queensland and Perth over a number of different sectors. Compared to other developers, access to capital is expected to improve following the move to a stapled security structure and move into property funds management.
Major Customers & Competitors
ALZ targets the first-, second- and third-home buyer market segments as well as the commercial property market. Pre-committed project works are carried out for tenants, owner-occupants and investors. ALZ competes closely with a number of the larger diversified property development companies operating in Australia, including Mirvac Group and Stockland Trust Group, as well as other LPTs for the limited supply of investment-grade property assets and tenants.
