Living Redefined
For almost five decades we've delivered turnkey, custom-designed residential developments — bring us yours, with or without a site, or partner alongside us in one of ours.
The Studio 72 difference
For most people, developments like these never appear — quietly built and sold within the industry, behind closed doors. Studio 72 was built to open that door: bringing design, feasibility, finance, planning and delivery together as one integrated platform, under almost five decades of residential experience.
01
Custom design direction led in-house by our co-founder Design Director, refined over decades — grounded in liveability, market alignment and long-term value, so every home is designed to be lived in, not just built.
02
From site acquisition through to settlement, Studio 72 manages the entire development process on your behalf — the complexity is ours to carry, so you can move forward with confidence.
03
No project proceeds without passing our internal feasibility review. Conservative modelling and lender-aligned assumptions underpin every opportunity — so you only ever back one that genuinely stacks up.
04
Our dedicated development finance specialist brings 25+ years' experience, structuring and optimising funding outcomes for Studio 72 and our partners — aligning finance with feasibility so every project is built on solid ground.
How we work
For decades, Studio 72 has delivered turnkey residential design and development management for private clients. Today, that same proven process is open to a close-knit group who want to participate alongside us.
What we've always done · Development Management
Turnkey residential design and development management for private clients. Bring your own site — or come to us without one — and one accountable team delivers the entire development end to end: design, approvals, construction and sales. No juggling separate designers, planners and builders, and no compromise on the vision. You're the sole investor, with no profit split.
Enquire →Now open · Development Partner
Now open to a close-knit group: participate alongside us in proven Studio 72 developments. Your capital is returned in full before a share of net profit — so you share in the success without carrying the full risk of developing alone.
View current opportunities →How it works · Client-funded
Whether we source the opportunity for you or you bring your own site, you fund the development as the sole owner while Studio 72 unlocks its potential and manages every step. Your project, your return.
We find it, or you bring it
We source and secure a development opportunity on your behalf, or you bring your own site for us to unlock — either way, the right starting point comes first.
We assess the potential
Every site is studied in Scout™ — feasibility, yield, costs and constraints — so you know exactly what it can become before you commit a dollar.
You fund it — with finance aligned
You fund the development as the sole investor — your project, your return, with no profit split. And where it helps, we connect you with SGB Finance, our development finance partner, to unlock lending and structure funding that works with the development strategy.
We manage everything
Design, approvals, builder engagement, construction and sales — one accountable team, end to end, with clear reporting throughout.
We hand it over
On completion we facilitate the sale or handover — the finished project, and the full return, are yours to realise.

Inside the work
Liveability is designed in — light where you want it, space that breathes, materials that age well. A look at the spaces, finishes and quiet feeling that define a Studio 72 home.
Now open
Through the Studio 72 Development Partner Network, a close-knit group of like-minded partners share in the success of proven, carefully selected developments — without carrying the full risk of developing alone. Each is structured in a project-specific unit trust. Allocations are limited and released selectively; register your interest to receive a detailed briefing, including indicative project forecasts.
How partnering works
We source & assess
We identify boutique opportunities and put each through our full feasibility and due-diligence process — modelled in Scout™ — before it's ever offered.
We open a select opportunity
Approved projects are released to our development-partner network, with a private briefing covering the plan, structure and projections.
You participate
Eligible partners join the project through a purpose-built entity — a project-specific unit trust — alongside Studio 72.
We deliver, end to end
We manage design, approvals, construction and sales, keeping you informed with clear reporting at every stage.
Profit is distributed
On completion and settlement, your capital is returned before a share of net profit, per the unitholder agreement — and the project entity is wound up.

How we deliver
A calm, proven path from first opportunity to finished home. Every Studio 72 development follows the same structured framework — refined across decades of residential design and development — so nothing is left to chance, and every stage is handled with commercial discipline, governance and care.
Development strategy & feasibility
Detailed feasibility modelling, market analysis, acquisition strategy and commercial assessment — run through Scout™, our proprietary development-analysis platform — with the development strategy and funding structure aligned from the outset, so feasibility, finance and delivery move as one. We confirm the opportunity stacks up before you commit — and, if it does, we support you through the acquisition to secure the site in line with the development parameters.
Design development
The design is developed in step with the development strategy and target market, to a considered standard of inclusions — with a preliminary build estimate, sales strategy and updated feasibility brought together, then presented for your approval before we proceed. Throughout, we draw on ongoing counsel from our strategic sales-agent partners, keeping the product aligned to the strategy and on track for the combined sales target. In parallel, we work with our specialist development finance partner, SGB Finance, to align funding with the strategy early.
Development consent
Design documentation and all supporting specialist reports are coordinated into a single, lodgement-ready development application — town planner, surveyor and engineers working to one plan — and managed through to consent. We then facilitate the issuing and signing of a pre-vetted build contract — aligned with the feasibility parameters in Scout™ — which underpins the refinance from land to development and construction finance (through our specialist broker, or yours). From there, where the strategy calls for it, we can begin a strategic marketing campaign early — building market confidence and securing deposits ahead of time to strengthen your lending position, while holding a nominated portion back for the premium sales campaign on completion — both proven, credible strategies.
Consent conditions & subdivision
We satisfy the conditions of consent and drive the subdivision through to titles — coordinating construction approvals, servicing and authority requirements, and the surveyor's plan and documentation. We prepare the compliance evidence, the plan is lodged and approved for registration, and new titles are produced with the relevant land registry.
Construction, title registration & sales
Construction begins once building approvals are in place, and — where the strategy calls for it — the off-the-plan sales campaign runs alongside it, aiming to secure a portion of sales before completion.
Partnered with market-leading local agents, we shape a tailored positioning and sales strategy for each residence. The surveyor lodges the plan with the relevant land registry for examination and registration of the new titles, through to settlement.
Client-funded · turnkey
We facilitate the sale and hand the completed project back to you. There is no profit split — the return is yours to realise in full.
S72 Development Partner Program
Where partners participate alongside us, net proceeds are distributed via a waterfall payment structure, as detailed in the unitholder agreement.
We don't rely on guesswork or someone else's spreadsheet. Every opportunity is assessed and every cost modelled in Scout™ — our own development-analysis platform — so feasibility, budgets and progress stay current, transparent and under control. It's the discipline behind everything we deliver.
Who we are
Studio 72 is carved from almost five decades of custom residential design and development — the work of co-founder Richard, delivering bespoke homes and developments across the east coast of NSW and South East Queensland. Today that legacy is Studio 72: Richard's custom design experience joined with co-founder Will's modern commercial framework and his integrated design-and-development-management blueprint. The same proven process behind our turnkey design and development management now underpins the select opportunities we open to our development partners.
