About

Provided by Colin Biggers & Paisley

Colin Biggers & Paisley’s reputation is founded on its enduring ability to provide valuable advice to the real estate and construction sectors. We offer a complete end-to-end service that begins with securing the finance needed to deliver big, often nation-building, projects.

Property is Australia’s biggest industry and its significance to the Australian economy is unquestioned. Without financing, little is possible. Our goal is to secure financing that enables projects to go from concept to completion within deadline and budget.

We advise on all facets of development and investment financing: from structuring the development vehicle to site acquisition by options or direct purchases, to acquisition and construction financing. We have expertise across most property classes, with an emphasis on residential, retail, commercial, industrial, hotel and tourism, aged care sectors, listed and unlisted property funds.

We advise on a broad range of property and real estate transactions, including:

  • acquisition and construction facilities
  • complex real estate acquisitions
  • formation of real estate investment funds
  • joint venture structuring
  • mezzanine financing
  • preferred equity loan workouts
  • real estate mergers and acquisitions
  • secondary market debt acquisitions

Working closely with experts in our property, planning, environment and construction teams is fundamental to delivering the integrated end-to-end advice essential on ambitious projects.
