About DevelopmentLink
DevelopmentLink Pty Ltd was incorporated in 1993 and is the result of a merging of the separate, complementary businesses, founded by the principals of the group.
New business concepts were developed over the years and the DevelopmentLink Group evolved to its present form with a rapidly growing client base. The results are exemplary in the property development industry, with an enviable portfolio of property development projects.
An excellent staff of young graduates supports the senior management team of DevelopmentLink Pty Ltd. Strong affiliations with strategic alliances have been formed with financial, legal and professional organisations to take the group successfully into the future.
Business/Vision
DevelopmentLink Pty Ltd is a family-owned and run Sydney-based property developer specialising in premium quality, medium to high density residential, and high-tech industrial projects on the Australian eastern seaboard.
Ours is a development process that takes a development project “from Concept to Completion”. Our mission is to create saleable property assets with the aim of delivering solid returns to our project investors/shareholders.
Until 2005 the Group’s geographic focus has been mainly located in Sydney. The Group’s horizons have expanded not only geographically but in scope as well. It is also during this phase of the Group’s evolution that other members of the Touma family joined the organisation to form the Executive management team and the Group completed its largest sale to date: the ABC site in Artarmon, NSW.
Structure
Our management team is skilled at interlinking the various elements of a development, from debt and equity procurement, to construction, and project marketing ultimately with the goal of producing the finished product that enables the distribution of profits to project stakeholders.
The main companies in the DevelopmentLink Group are as follows:

(*Profit = first 20% total return on investment, uncapped, with excess share of the return shared 50/50 with the investor clients).
- The DevelopmentLink SPV’s (Special Purpose Vehicles)
