Greg Billings

Director of Residential Projects

Sonia Fava

Director

”In the last couple of years, [Apartments.com.au] has become one of our cornerstone real estate portals in our advisory piece to our developers. What sets Urban apart from other options is quality of the content that's delivered around our project really helps to educate a purchaser.”

Nick Clydsdale

Heath Thompson

Todd Matheson

Director
