A prosperous tomorrow.
Propel is a real estate investor and fund manager, investing in opportunistic development and value add projects that provide investors with exposure to niche markets with compelling drivers.
Our strategy brings together demographic analysis and future-focused principles to make smart investments that deliver long-term benefits — both economic and environmental. We’re investing in futures — for our own financial wellbeing and for the planet.
Our assets have lower carbon footprints, use recycled materials, integrate renewable energy and create minimal waste. But this is not just feel-good investing, it’s also strategic. Sustainable properties create long-term value, attract quality audiences and deliver opportunities for higher returns.
Propel operates on a co-investment model, investing alongside our investors equity in every transaction.

Propel gives you access to over 20 years of investment analysis, property development and funds management experience. And for even more safety and alignment, we’re backing each move we make with minimum 20% co-investment.
