About us
GPV Property is a licensed wholesale investment manager (AFS Licence No. 437669) focusing on development of healthcare infrastructure and other commercial property assets.
The majority of our investors are seeking long-term income and capital growth from quality property assets in their local area, particularly for superannuation purposes. Our team has a combination of skills in corporate finance and property, including integrated design and construction capability, coupled with niche expertise in healthcare infrastructure development.
Integrated Design, Development & Construction Capability
The credentials of GPV Property as an investment manager are supported by strong commercial, financial and corporate advisory experience in the healthcare sector, coupled with professional expertise in architecture, project management, development origination and construction. This enables the GPV Property team to develop new commercial property assets from scratch, as well as to acquire and add value to existing property assets that meet our investment criteria.
Since 2010, GPV Property has established funds for $300 million of commercial property investment, including development of facilities for Sonic Healthcare, Ramsay Health Care and local groups of doctors, with an exceptional record of meeting or exceeding forecast results.
Precedent Projects
The capabilities of the GPV Property team are reflected in recent projects that have been originated, designed and built by GPV Property and which are under our ongoing management.
Charlestown Health & Hospital Precinct
In 2025, GPV Property completed development of a substantial healthcare precinct in Charlestown, NSW. Building on client and investor relationships developed by GPV Property since our establishment in 2010, this project is a multi-disciplinary healthcare development with a completion value of approximately $80 million. The project is anchored by a 2,000m2 primary healthcare centre for Sonic Healthcare Limited and similar full floor plate facilities for Ramsay Healthcare’s Charlestown Surgical Centre and a Phase I clinical research facility for Novatrials. The site will also accommodate a range of associated healthcare service providers in primary care, medical specialist/surgical care and allied health care disciplines.
The GPV Charlestown Trust is an example of our capabilities in development origination and transaction structuring to create value for clients and investors. The Trust was formed to acquire the site from a local landowner who reinvested proceeds from the sale of the land as equity in the Trust, to become a key investor and beneficiary of the new project. Across two rounds of funding for the DA and construction phases of the project, the Trust raised $35 million of equity from local investors to combine with bank funding to complete the project.
Cooks Hill Healthcare Hub
In 2019, GPV Property completed a $42.5 million adaptive re-use project of the Cooks Hill Commercial Centre to create Newcastle’s largest health, wellness and indoor sports facility. The centre has approximately 10,000m2 of indoors sport facilities known as “the parc” (which includes the former ‘Howzat’ indoors sport facilities) as well as a large gymnasium, a climbing centre and the ‘ninja parc’. The lower levels of the centre, comprising over 4,000m2 of commercial space and parking for approximately 150 cars, are anchored by Sonic Healthcare Limited, incorporating a broad range of primary and specialist health services.
Newcastle Healthcare Centre
Following the appointment of administrators to the Adamstown RSL Club, GPV Property purchased the land and buildings of the former Club, with a vision for a $40.0 million adaptive re-use project to create a large multi-purpose health services precinct on a 6300m2, inner-suburban site. Stage 1 of the precinct, known as Newcastle Healthcare Centre, was 100% leased on completion, providing facilities for one of the region’s largest GP clinics (Bunker Road Medical Centre) as well as the regional headquarters for Laverty Pathology and Hunter Imaging Group. Stage 2 has been approved for a new five-storey building incorporating specialist consulting rooms and a day surgery facility.
Blaxland Medical Centre
Following GPV’s development of two new medical centres anchored by IPN Medical Centres in the Hunter region (at Glendale and Wallsend) in 2013 and 2014, GPV Property was asked by IPN to develop a new medical centre to service the lower Blue Mountains in Blaxland, NSW. This project was originated by GPV Property through a partnering approach with the landowner of a prospective development site. The landowner contributed the land to become a major investor in the new single asset fund created for the project. This resulted in the conversion of undeveloped land into a long-term rental income stream from a quality healthcare asset. The facility was 100% leased on completion in 2016.
