Development Experience

Dransfield have advised and led numerous hotel and resort development projects across all asset types and sizes. Our clients include many of the major developers across Australia as well as experienced and first time participants.


We recognise the unique and challenging circumstances in developing hotels and resorts in Australia. A “whole of development” approach is adopted to reduce project risk and cost.


Our clients include many of the major developers who recognise the difference between hotels and residential and commercial development and the need for specialist skills.


We have experience in each stage of the development life-cycle from concept to completion including project sales. Projects include large upscale city hotels as well as regional resorts throughout Australia
