Chichest is a Sydney-based development firm focused on residential projects that hold their value. We source carefully, design with restraint, and deliver to a standard most developers don't attempt.
We look for locations with genuine long-term fundamentals — sound planning potential, strong infrastructure trajectory, and demonstrable buyer demand. We do not chase short-term heat.
Good design is not decoration — it determines liveability, resaleability, and how a building ages. We work with architects who understand that difference and brief them accordingly.
Our leadership has built for DFAT, the ADF, and the US Department of Defence — clients for whom cost overruns and delays are simply not acceptable. We bring that same standard to residential.
Most developers engage contractors and hope for the best. Chichest's principals have built embassies, military facilities, and critical infrastructure on three continents — the kind of work where failure is not an option.
That history shapes every decision we make in residential development: how we assess risk, how we run a programme, how we hold architects and contractors to account. It is not incidental to what we do — it is the foundation of it.
We are active acquirers of development sites — residential, mixed-use, and under-utilised properties. If you own land or a property you're considering selling, we'd like to hear from you.
Sell to UsWe work with a small number of private investors and joint venture partners on each project. If you're looking for exposure to Sydney residential development with experienced operators, we'd welcome a conversation.
