Regis Capital Partners

What Regis Capital Partners does

Regis Capital Partners is an Australian private commercial property debt fund that originates and provides structured senior debt for mid-market property developers and investors, primarily across the eastern seaboard (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast). The firm was founded by Kelvin Cheong and James Pellicano, both former institutional property bankers at Westpac with responsibility for billion-dollar senior debt loan books, with the explicit objective of being more responsive and flexible than traditional banks while offering more considered risk analysis than property finance brokers. Its core product is a private debt fund that deploys capital into tailored, project-specific financing facilities for commercial property development and investment; this is augmented by a codified risk management service covering sponsor, environmental, planning, market, construction, and documentation diligence factors.

The business operates a dual-sided model: on the supply side it solicits capital from three investor segments — institutional and semi-institutional investors, private high net worth individuals and family offices, and risk-managed mandate clients — and on the demand side it engages directly with mid-market commercial property borrowers seeking faster certainty and more tailored structuring than bank competitors provide. Distribution is relationship-led rather than channel-led: the firm maintains an enterprise field-sales motion, a small professional services marketing footprint (LinkedIn presence, an email newsletter subscription, and direct website inquiry forms), and is delivered through two physical offices (Melbourne headquarters at 270 King Street and a Sydney regional office at Level 26, 1 Bligh Street). Pricing, fund economics, AUM, and deal terms are not publicly disclosed; capital is sourced and matched on a bilateral, inquiry-driven basis. The management team is the firm's principal asset: six senior leaders with two-to-three decades of combined institutional property credit experience at Australia's 'big four' banks, supplemented by a Non-Executive Director drawn from senior residential and commercial development. There is no disclosed proprietary technology platform, and the firm's competitive position rests on human expertise, network, and bespoke deal structuring rather than on technology or scale.
