What Pelligra does

Pelligra Build Pty Ltd, trading as Pelligra, is a third-generation Australian family-owned property development and construction company founded in 1960 (legal formation 1964) and headquartered in Keilor/Melbourne, Victoria. The company develops, constructs, and either sells or holds as income-producing assets a diverse portfolio spanning four asset classes: hotel/hospitality, industrial/manufacturing, residential (apartments and townhouses), and mixed-use commercial projects. Its project history exceeds 1,200 developments with an end-value range of A$23m to A$750m, executed across Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales, and Queensland in Australia, with historical presence in the Philippines and China.

Pelligra monetizes through two principal revenue streams: (i) development and construction margins from acquisitions, build-out, and disposal of completed assets, and (ii) recurring rental income from a tenant base of over 800 occupiers, the majority of which are on long-term leases across industrial, commercial, medical, and retail properties held in the portfolio. Distribution is direct via enterprise sales to commercial property investors, hospitality operators (notably IHG via Holiday Inn and Accor via Grand Mercure), industrial tenants, and government counterparties (Wyndham City Council). Brand partnerships with international hotel operators provide franchise-backed demand for hospitality builds.

The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no public-market listing, and no M&A outside a single disclosed acquisition (Dandenong Plaza, A$145m in August 2022). It holds ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems certification and operates with a lean internal team (51-100 employees) supplemented by outsourced construction, indicative of an asset-light development model rather than a vertically integrated construction firm. There are no disclosed proprietary technology platforms, APIs, or software products; the business is fundamentally a real estate operator.
