A selection of engagements where Maraj Advisory Group has delivered strategic value for developers, housing providers, and investors. Data centre and infrastructure engagements are summarised on our Data Centres & Infrastructure page, with detailed case studies available on request.
The following represents a cross-section of our advisory work. Details are disclosed with client consent and are indicative of project scope.
Melbourne's Inner West
A developer acquired a distressed site with permits for six unviable townhouses. Working within the approved envelope, we repositioned the scheme as 11 High Physical Support SDA apartments — transforming a failed project into a high-yield asset generating $1.1M+ in gross annual revenue.
Melbourne CBD Fringe
20-apartment mixed-use development including 7 SDA High Physical Support units, structured as Build-to-Rent with a long-term CHA head lease. A parking waiver negotiated saved $1M+ in costs. Currently in tender, with financing advisory ongoing.
Regional Victoria
End-to-end advisory for a first-time investor — from sourcing a 1,000m² former church site to securing permits for 6 double-storey townhouses. Pre-sold to a CHA with HAFF funding access prior to construction, delivering a gross profit of ~$800K.
Melbourne's Outer North
A not-for-profit with significant vacant land on a large church site engaged us to unlock its potential. Stage 1 is a purpose-designed social housing group home with communal living spaces — design finalised and heading to planning, with future stages in master plan.
Melbourne's Inner West
A busy professional landowner had heard about SDA but had no capacity to act. We managed the entire process end to end — site assessment through to dual occupancy permits for 2 High Physical Support townhomes. SIL provider secured, with CHA acquisition interest already received.
Regional Victoria
Our principal was personally engaged by a state government housing authority to independently assess 50+ CHA proposals across a $200M+ regional funding round — evaluating deliverability, construction viability, and payment draw structures for cash flow risk exposure.
