“The Group is ideally positioned for further growth allowing Mirvac to take advantage of real estate cycles across all sectors and geographies we operate in. Our balance sheet is strong, positioning us well to manage risk and capitalise on opportunities as they arise.

“We will seek further opportunities across our integrated platform and where appropriate co-invest with JV partners for key developments and funds management origination. Our funds management platform is a profitable and scaleable business that continues to expand globally.”
