Company Title developments
Property developers are increasingly looking towards company title as a means of structuring new residential projects. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has issued a Regulatory Guide which may allow some developers who wish to deliver a company title project to reduce some of the burdensome compliance costs typically associated with sales of shares in companies.
Those developers who cannot take advantage of the Regulatory Guide are still able to unlock value by using the company title form. Many developers have recognised that company title has sufficient flexibility to allow them to create bespoke developments that deliver real value to investors. This flexibility is often not available in traditional strata and community title projects.
