About Cole Waterhouse

Cole Waterhouse provides in-depth experience in the crucial disciplines of property development, law and finance respectively – a blend of expertise more commonly found in larger real estate companies. Having these capabilities enables us to originate deals, obtain appropriate financing, secure complex planning consents and deliver projects to completion.

The Company has a proven ability to uncover under-recognised, off-market opportunities. This is one of the things we enjoy most: unlocking neglected potential to deliver great returns and to bring vibrant new life for communities to thrive in.

Cole Waterhouse consciously keeps its number of developments small, so these often significantly-sized projects gain the high levels of detail, attention and management they require and deserve.

At Cole Waterhouse our aim is to build the right development in the right place. Admittedly that’s a simplistic statement, but achieving the ideal result to the benefit of all interested parties is complex. It requires a well-defined, thorough approach to quality, channelled by vision, clarity and integrity.

So we’re professional and diligent in ways that support creativity and lateral thinking. We methodically plan to minimise risk and we care about the quality and impact of what we build.

At the outset, Cole Waterhouse conducts due diligence to assess each opportunity’s viability. When we seek capital for a specific project, we prepare a ‘memorandum of understanding’ that has all the relevant information required for a potential project shareholder to review.

Project shareholders remain fully informed throughout the process with quarterly or bi-annual shareholder updates.

The people and communities we work with are a prime concern, so we always make sure our plans are culturally sensitive to factors like local heritage and environment.

Ultimately, the institutional approach enables smooth progression of work; things stay on track, issues are dealt with quickly and the whole process of making it all happen is enjoyable and rewarding. And naturally, investors remain fully in the loop throughout.

It’s a way of working that everyone can buy-in to. Our leading architect, consultant and contractor partners are valued by us – consequently, they are truly part of the team and we are always grateful when they offer to go the extra mile for the project.
