The Big Dry Company Pty Ltd is building an Australian-headquartered principal investment and development platform focused on property-backed opportunities across Australia and New Zealand. We originate, evaluate and progress selected heritage, hospitality and commercial real-estate opportunities, bringing together aligned capital, operating expertise and practical delivery capability.
The Big Dry Company is being developed around selected real assets across Australia and New Zealand and the practical capabilities needed to reposition and activate them.
Each opportunity is assessed on its own fundamentals and progressed through an appropriate asset-specific structure, bringing together aligned capital, operating expertise and specialist delivery partners.
Property is the centre of gravity. Big Dry combines origination, disciplined structure and practical execution to progress selected opportunities.

Identifying and evaluating selected heritage, hospitality and commercial property opportunities across Australia and New Zealand.

Progressing opportunities through disciplined due diligence, asset-specific structures and aligned capital.

Connecting operators, consultants, designers, suppliers and delivery partners to create practical income and long-term value.


Brand, co-branded, private-label and licensing opportunities may be considered across Australia and New Zealand where there is clear market demand, an appropriate operating partner and a commercially credible delivery pathway.
Licensing supports the broader Big Dry platform. It is not the sole purpose of the company.
Property is the centre of gravity.
Big Dry’s supporting capabilities include APAC sourcing and procurement, FF&E and product development, operating partnerships, brand development, licensing and selected market-entry ventures.
Big Dry works with experienced operators, consultants, designers, manufacturers and delivery specialists rather than assuming every capability must sit internally.
The Big Dry Company works selectively with aligned capital, property, operating and specialist partners across Australia, New Zealand and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
Potential relationships may include asset-specific capital participation, secured funding structures, operating and accommodation partnerships, property and adaptive-reuse expertise, design and project-delivery capability, procurement and manufacturing relationships, and selected brand or market-entry partnerships.
Discussions are selective, confidential and specific to the relevant opportunity. Nothing on this website constitutes a public offer, financial product advice or an investment recommendation.
His background spans property, international manufacturing, hospitality procurement, FF&E, commercial partnerships and Asia-Pacific market development.
Big Dry applies that experience through disciplined opportunity review, practical due diligence, structured partner engagement and staged execution across Australia and New Zealand.
