Company Overview
Company Overview
PPC is one of Australia's largest property companies dedicated to broadacre land development. PPC acquires, manages, develops, markets and sells land estates. PPC currently owns, manages or otherwise controls a portfolio of projects in Perth, south west WA, Melbourne, south east QLD and the NSW Central Coast. PPC is organised into three key operating divisions: syndicated projects, owned projects and JV projects.
Company History
PPC commenced operations in 1895 in Perth and represents one of the longest-established property companies in Australia. Throughout its history, PPC has remained actively involved in land subdivision. In recent years, PPC has expanded significantly from its WA base, establishing a presence in Victoria in 1997, Queensland in 2002 and NSW in 2004.
Differentiating Factor
PPC deals with the development of broadacre residential land estates and has moved into medium-density residential and retail development. PPC offers specialised services in land subdivision and property development, providing a development management and marketing service, together with related financing and corporate structures. The company commits to delivering responsible and sensitive community, social and environmental outcomes.
Major Customers & Competitors
Major competitors would be other financial diversified trusts on the market that focus on capital property growth in commercial, industrial and retail sectors, such as Sunland Group (SDG). Customers would consist of companies, that is, tenants offering to lease the property, retail and car park spaces within the buildings of the property portfolio and individuals who invest in the development projects.
