About Us

Retail-focused real estate investment manager

Established in 2024, Kinglake Group focuses on commercial real estate investments, specialising in Large Format Retail (LFR) properties.

Our strategy emphasises real property assets, targeting opportunities with strong fundamentals and value-add potential.

Combining expertise in sourcing and structuring transactions with long-lasting tenant relationships, our investment approach seeks to identify high-quality retail assets for repositioning, capturing growing retailer demand and capitalising on structural supply-demand imbalances.
