Urban Community Group

The Urban Community Group was established in response to a demand from investors wanting low risk residential projects in suburbs with strong social and transport infrastructure where both capital growth and good yields are possible.
Our own community, our development partners are respected professionals in their own fields and have long histories of working together on projects from boutique apartment buildings to 50-storey city skyscrapers.

Cody Robb

Managing Director

Cody worked as an development consultant from 2006 through to 2014 assisting developers with acquisition of developable property including a midrise mixed-use developments, specialist medical centres and townhouse projects.

From 2010 he co-managed a construction company where he successfully was responsible for construction estimating and project scheduling completing projects in Queensland, remote Northern territory and Victoria.

Subsequently Cody put his knowledge of construction, the property market, town planning and design built up over the past decades to co-found the Urban Community Group.

The practical effect of knowledge and relationships in the real estate and experience in both construction and property development has proved invaluable in sourcing off market opportunities including an 8-storey project in Cleveland.

Cody is an investor into GFS Solutions that is, at its core a glazing company, which has recently signed a partnership with a major manufacturer in Vietnam to produce proprietary aluminium framed door and window designs for new apartment and commercial builds.

Channing Dirckze

Business Development

Channing was responsible for implementing Joint Venture projects in Vietnam and Lao PDR from 1996 until 2020, turning Investment Licenses into operating businesses in the Property and Travel Retail fields.

In Ha Noi’s Old Quarter Asia Tower was constructed in a culturally important location near the Hoan Kiem Lake, and Channing remains involved in the management of the business, which hosts Blue Chip tenants including Starbucks Reserve, J.P. Morgan, Eneos, USAID Improvement of Private Sector Competitiveness Project (Deloittes), Woori Bank, etc. and remains one of the most desirable business addresses in Ha Noi.

He is a co-founder and Director of the Urban Community Group, involved in the day-to-day management of the company, including site selection, design and delivery of projects.

Channing is also an investor into GFS Solutions, at its core a glazing company, which has recently achieved certification for its Vietnamese manufacturing partner to produce proprietary aluminium framed doors and windows for new apartment and commercial builds in Australia. It was Channing’s long-term knowledge of the Vietnam market which enabled GFS Solutions to fast-track the selection of a suitable manufacturing partner as part of a diversification strategy to ease reliance on goods made in China.

BACKGROUND AND PHILOSOPHY

Since 1968 ANA Architects has been delivering expert design and construction solutions to meet the individual’s needs in development.

DTS Group

Process, understanding and communication underpin everything we do. We also recognise that unless we take the time to review our performance and learn from our mistakes, our service will never improve.

At DTS every project follows a cyclic process. We assess the problem to ensure we can understand and develop the solution.

We consult with relevant parties to ensure effective understanding of the project team to make certain confident, timely delivery of our services. Importantly, upon completion, we review our performance both internally and externally. It is this process that ensures that our desire for continual improvement can be achieved.

Delta Constructions

Based in Brisbane, one of Australia’s most prosperous property markets, Delta Constructions is a multi-disciplinary organisation offering clients a full range of services in property development, construction and project management.

With more than twenty-five years’ experience, we have seen many developers and investors exposed to poor quality or inefficient projects incur unnecessary costs. With this in mind we set about establishing a self-procurement model, going overseas direct to the factories for glazing and metalwork, cabinetry, wall tiles and flooring and importing the products directly.

Delta Constructions have established a strong network of reputable industry professionals and trades persons that carry from project to project. It is these relationships that are most valuable when industry conditions become difficult as they have through the Covid pandemic.
