We work with a small number of private investors on selected projects. If you are looking for direct exposure to Sydney residential development — with operators who have genuine development and construction experience — we would welcome a confidential conversation. All discussions are handled discreetly and without obligation.
Register your interestWe develop, design-manage, and oversee construction ourselves. Your investment is not being passed through a chain of third parties. Our principals are directly involved in every project decision — which means fewer surprises and better outcomes.
Most developer groups reach for contractors at tender stage and hope for the best. Chichest has developed and constructed mid-to-high-rise residential towers, mixed-use commercial developments, and major multi-tenancy complexes. Our principals also bring senior executive experience from government and defence construction programmes in Australia and internationally. That depth means we build realistic budgets, manage programmes tightly, and do not discover cost problems late.
We focus on medium-density residential in Sydney's most established and well-regarded suburban markets — locations where owner-occupier demand is strong and values have shown resilience across multiple cycles. Design quality in these markets is not a premium feature; it is the expectation, and it is the brief we bring to every project.
We are selective about who we work with, and we expect the same in return. We provide regular updates, clear reporting, and direct access to our principals. Investors are treated as genuine partners — not managed at arm's length.
We work with a small number of investors on each project — individuals, corporates, trusts, and self-managed superannuation funds. How involved you are is entirely up to you. Most of our investors prefer to leave the running of the project to us and simply receive clear, regular reporting. Others like to stay closer to the process, and find that walking through a live development alongside experienced operators is an education you cannot get from a textbook. Either way, the project is managed by us, you deal directly with the people running it, and you are kept properly informed at every stage.
Each of the following can invest with Chichest, provided the fit is right. Suitability is less about the label and more about mindset, capacity, and horizon — an understanding of development risk, the ability to commit capital for the life of a project, and a direct relationship with the people running it, however involved you choose to be.
Private investors who understand property and are looking to build long-term wealth alongside experienced operators — following the project as closely, or as lightly, as suits them.
Companies with capital to deploy or landholdings to activate, seeking a development partner who can convert balance-sheet capacity into a well-managed residential project.
Family and investment trusts investing across generations, where a considered, design-led development with a clear timeframe suits the structure's longer horizon and its beneficiaries' objectives.
SMSFs seeking direct property development exposure within their mandate. Trustees should be satisfied the investment sits within their fund's investment strategy and obtain their own advice before proceeding.
Pick a time that suits you and it goes straight into our calendar. Half an hour with our Managing Director to talk through how investing with Chichest works and whether the fit is right — no paperwork, no pitch, just a conversation.
