Our Business

Stockland is one of Australia's leading diversified property groups - actively managing a portfolio of properties across different asset classes and locations. We seek to achieve the optimum balance between risk and return on assets comprising office buildings, shopping centres, industrial hubs, residential communities, apartments and retirement living - and often various mixed-use combinations of these.

Like all companies, our business is affected by economic conditions, but our diversification means our exposure to particular asset types and locations is spread. We are also able to allocate our resources to suit the conditions of the day. We have weathered the global financial crisis relatively well - and that reflects our active portfolio management across our diversified business.

 

We have a long and proud history of creating places that meet the needs of our customers and communities.

Our Story

Ervin Graf founded Stockland in 1952 with a vision to "not merely achieve growth and profits but to make a worthwhile contribution to the development of our cities and great country".

Pursuing that vision has seen Stockland grow to become one of Australia's leading diversified property groups - developing and managing a large portfolio of residential community, apartment, retirement living, retail, office and industrial assets.

With the benefit of our diverse property skills, we connect together different types of properties in shared locations, to create places that inspire people to gather, to share and to live life.

We recognise our responsibilities to the environment and strive to be a leader in sustainable business practices. Our positive and adaptable team shares Ervin's vision of making a worthwhile contribution to our community.

We work hard, we expect a lot of one another, and we seek true work-life balance. For over half a century, we've worked hard to grow our diverse portfolio of assets and projects while maintaining a conservative balance sheet. It's proven to be a sound approach and we're now one of Australia's largest diversified property groups and a top 50 ASX-listed company.
