Who We Are

Yes, we’re highly regarded as experts within the industry as you’d expect from our decades long track record, the calibre of our people and the work we produce, but we’re first and foremost people focused. Relationships are key to everything we do.

What
drives us

Our clients, partners and people who use or live in the buildings we develop and construct, are what drives us to deliver innovative property solutions and exceptional spaces. We’re fortunate in that we tend to work on repeat projects with our clients and enjoy long-term relationships. Like the best relationships, ours are based on mutual respect, trust and teamwork.

We’ve been delivered a growing number of Five Star, Green Star and NABERS rated projects and support the Green Star building code initiative. When it comes to our procedures, we’re open and authentic. We’re serious about the safety of our people and yours, corporate social responsibility, sustainable development and enriching people’s lives by always creating a positive impact for others.

Our Story

Established in 2002, in the front room of Managing Director Michael Lawson’s home, it’s fair to say Northerly has come a long way, but Michael’s vision for the future and belief in the company’s direction remains the same. The aim is and has always been to discover the best, most innovative solutions and to develop and build properties which create positive outcomes for our clients, partners and the people who inhabit and use our buildings. Our passion for property continues, ensuring our work delivers top functionality and liveability, yields profits and results in beautiful spaces.

We’ve earned industry respect as experienced and skilled developers of multi-unit, retail and commercial properties. We’ve also developed and grown as specialists, recognised as creating exceptional retirement living, aged care and special needs accommodation.

We’re passionate about the projects we take on and value highly the relationships we hold and build with our clients and partners.

“We got on right from the start and they understood everything that we were trying to achieve with our dream for the Centre for Entrepreneurial Research and Innovation (CERI). I couldn’t recommend a better group.”

Charles “Charlie” Bass Founder and Chairman, Centre for Entrepreneurial Research and Innovation (CERI)
