What Oreana (aust) Pty Ltd does

Oreana (Aust) Pty Ltd is a vertically integrated Australian property development, construction, and investment group headquartered in South Yarra, Melbourne. Founded in 1999 by brothers Tony and Steven Sass, the company operates across four Australian states (Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia) plus Hong Kong and reports $3.5 billion-plus in completed residential projects and $13 billion in funds under management and advice. Its operations span three connected segments: (1) Development, including masterplanned communities (notably the 900+ hectare North Shore community in Townsville), residential subdivisions, and neighbourhood retail town centres anchored by major grocery and hardware tenants; (2) In-house Construction delivering residential and commercial projects, with $300M+ annual construction output and a $650M secured pipeline; (3) Investments, a multi-fund platform comprising the Early Education Fund, Real Income Fund, Protected Income Fund, Professional Partners Fund, Ascalon Active Alpha Fund, and principal investments/private equity, distributed through financial advisers including Insignia Financial, BT (Westpac), Netwealth, and Betashares.

The group monetises through project sales (residential lot/unit sales, retail centre divestitures such as Kallo Town Centre sold for $64.5M at 5.98% yield), construction fees on both internal Oreana projects and external developer work, and recurring investment management fees (0.50%-2.00% management fees plus 20% performance fees) on funds spanning private credit, private equity, real estate, and multi-asset strategies, alongside wealth management fees through Oreana Private Wealth and Oreana Partnerships. Customer segments include residential property buyers (first home buyers, investors, downsizers in Melbourne growth corridors), external property developers and investors seeking integrated delivery, sophisticated/wholesale investors, and institutional-grade retail tenants. Operational differentiators are ISO-accredited HSEQ systems (including the Safety One program) supporting 93.4% average occupancy at Aspire early education centres and integrated project delivery spanning acquisition through to asset management.
