An Australian boutique property development company, Velocity Property Group Limited (ASX: VP7) is known for its innovation, cutting-edge design and uncompromising quality in creating multi-unit developments specifically targeted for the owner-occupier, empty-nester market and mixed use/ commercial developments. With an experienced management team and a compelling value proposition, the group is on the verge of becoming a leading property development company in Australia. Velocity Property Group is currently targeting the key markets in South East Queensland, particularly the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
Velocityâs developments are focused on the quality of design and branding. The apartments structured by the company are generally larger than others in a similar market and are designed as open plan spaces with negligible passageways so that the apartment buyers get more liveable spaces, relative to smaller higher density apartment developments.
In the recent past, the company made solid progress with the acquisition of development site in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast, alongside completion of its signature ONE Burleigh Headland and ONE Palm Beach development.
As far as financial performance is concerned, the company reported a robust financial performance during the first half of FY19. For the half-year ended 31st December 2018, (H1 FY19), the group reported revenues of $27.31 million, which was 29,007% higher than the previous corresponding period (pcp). Furthermore, the group generated a profit (attributable to the owners of Velocity Property Group) of $1.29 million in H1 FY19, which was 205% higher than pcp. The groupâs net tangible assets per share increased to $0.0564 as compared to $0.0458 in 2017, representing a growth of 23%. The strong set of results for the half-year period was primarily driven on the back of initial settlements at The Hathaway and ONE Palm Beach.
