Approaching our eighth year in business with our 40th Magazine issue, I’ve reflected on our group’s inception and the philosophy which has guided our growth to-date. Initially, as investors in the property industry, the founders of Ready Media identified an opportunity to establish a dedicated digital platform that seamlessly connected property developers with vendors. The foundation of Development Ready, our online platform launched in 2015, disrupted the digital property market status-quo. It provided a unique alternative for real estate agencies to exclusively target property investors and developers. Development Ready and Commercial Ready has increasingly became powerful lead-generating portals. Fast forward to 2023 and Development Ready is proudly a standalone as Australia’s only dedicated development site portal, led by the most experienced commercial real estate account management team in the industry. By actively listening to the feedback provided by our valued partners, the Ready Media Group has expanded rapidly, adding CommercialReady, a digital portal focusing on tenanted property investments for sale. In addition, Ready Media Creative - our full service property marketing division led by a team of creative specialists has grown exponentially. Furthermore, we have added a number of new Agent and Investor related products including InstaDocs, District Data, Ready Capital, and Ready Pay. As we celebrate the past eight years in business, we eagerly anticipate upcoming opportunities and challenges. I’d like to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to our multitude of agency clients for their support, our considerable developer and investor audience for consistently engaging with our platforms and our dedicated Ready Media teams Australia-wide. This issue of The Property Development Review continues with our exclusive interview series featuring both Australian and international business figures, from a diverse cross-section of sectors including property investment and development, high-net-worth family office and private equity.
