PROJECT EXPERIENCE INCLUDES

THE PROPERTYWISE TEAM

 Propertywise is built around a rare combination in the NSW market: real, on-the-ground experience across the full development lifecycle, from commercial lending and credit decisioning, through to principal-side development delivery, and then into high-probity development site divestments.


Most advisory firms are strong in one lane. Propertywise was formed to sit across lanes, because development outcomes are decided in the gaps between them: feasibility reality, planning pathway risk, capital structure survivability, delivery governance, and transaction discipline.

WHAT OUR TEAM HAS DONE (AND WHY IT MATTERS)

 Our operating capability is shaped by leadership experience across multiple property cycles, including:


  • Tier-one builder/developer exposure inside one of Australia’s largest construction-led developer businesses, operating through complex site and capital challenges that require disciplined governance, stakeholder management and commercial realism.


  • Commercial lending (10+ years) introducing development transactions to major banks and non-bank lenders, with first-hand exposure to how credit teams assess planning risk, cost-to-complete, sponsor capability, program credibility, and downside protection.


  • Institutional-grade transactions via top-tier commercial real estate, supporting significant development site divestments for high-probity vendors and tier-one counterparties including government and listed groups without compromising process integrity or evidence standards.
     
  • Private credit / mezzanine capital experience providing capital solutions above senior secured facilities, creating deep understanding of how risk is priced up and down the capital stack, and what must be controlled to avoid failure under stress.
     
  • Active intervention and problem resolution when projects deviate from plan, stepping in early to mitigate issues, restructure pathways, and restore certainty for stakeholders.
     
  • Principal-side development execution: identifying, negotiating, acquiring and progressing a major residential development through approvals in a complex NSW environment, bringing real delivery discipline to every recommendation.
     
  • Residential mortgage investment platform experience (mortgage fund exposure) alongside broader development work, strengthening our understanding of credit, documentation, governance, and reporting expectations.

WHY THIS IS UNUSUAL (AND VALUABLE)

 Most “advisers” can talk about development. Fewer have:

  • sat close to credit and underwriting logic across cycles,
  • structured and deployed capital above senior debt,
  • operated as a principal with real approvals and delivery accountability, and
  • executed transactions where governance and probity are non-negotiable.


That crossover creates a practical advantage for clients: we don’t just say what sounds good. We focus on what will be approved, funded, delivered, and transacted—with assumptions stated clearly and risks controlled early.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU

If you’re a rezoned landowner, private investment syndicate, developer, investment platform, or a professional advising clients in NSW, Propertywise brings:

  • decision-ready feasibility and due diligence (what’s real vs assumed)
  • planning pathway governance (value-secure decision gates, not open-ended drift)
  • capital advisory discipline (credit-grade packaging, survivable terms, clean processes)
  • development management governance (scope, program, reporting, risk control)
  • transaction discipline (credible story, clean diligence, controlled process)umptions stated clearly and risks controlled early.

GEORGE TISSEVERASINGHE

Partner, Development Advisory

M.PropDev, M.Plann, B.Bus


Operator-led development advisory. Credit discipline. Transaction reality.


George leads Propertywise with an operating philosophy that’s different to most advisers: development outcomes are decided in the early decision, what you assume, what you verify, how you structure control, and whether your pathway can survive time, cost, approvals and capital scrutiny.


Where many profiles list roles, George’s value is better explained as a lens: he has spent his career seeing the same asset from three angles; capital provider, principal developer, and market execution and understands exactly where value is created or lost between them.


Propertywise was built to solve a recurring problem George saw repeatedly across the market:
good assets being sold or funded on incomplete narratives, weak feasibility logic, and structures that quietly transfer upside away from the owner or investor.


His approach is designed to prevent that: remove ambiguity early, pressure-test assumptions, and build a pathway that is approvable, fundable, deliverable and transactable.
