Key People

HopgoodGanim's Commercial Property team has the depth of knowledge and experience needed to successfully complete all forms of property transactions. The team is made up of expert property professionals who advise, negotiate and document transactions ranging from commercial, retail, industrial and residential property to hospitality and tourism developments. Because our understanding of property legislation is second to none, we are able to clearly communicate the requirements and carefully prepare the documentation needed for any transaction.

We understand that property transactions often require quick and decisive action to help you move through the sale or purchase process. Our team is engaged and determined, and will work effectively to provide sophisticated advice on all types of property transactions.

Our clients include developers, individual property owners, shopping centre owners and managers, retirement village operators, hoteliers, tourism operators, financial institutions and commercial agents.

Areas of Expertise

HopgoodGanim has a large Commercial Property team, with sub-sector specialists in the areas of manufactured homes, retirement villages, student accommodation, hospitality and tourism, high-rise residential, industrial, retail and marinas. We have been the lead adviser on many of Queensland's most significant and high profile property developments.

We develop solutions and achieve results for a range of clients. We have advised in relation to the acquisition and sale of commercial, residential and crown leasehold properties; community title developments; taxation and stamp duty; due diligence investigations; project funding; joint ventures; litigation; planning and environment; resumptions and construction arrangements.

Green development

Awareness and consideration of environmental sustainability in property development is critical in today's climate. ‘Green' development is here to stay, and HopgoodGanim has invested heavily in building substantial knowledge in the areas of climate change and the development and accreditation of green property.

We are a long-term supporter of the Urban Development Institute of Australia (Queensland) and are the exclusive legal sponsor of their technical standard for EnviroDevelopment, Australia's only comprehensive sustainability rating tool for commercial, industrial and residential development projects.

One of our practitioners, Angie Coleman, has been accredited by the Green Building Council of Australia as a Green Star Associate. In addition, our experience means we are well placed to advise on the legal implications of the NABERS system, which rates buildings on their operational impact on the environment.
