Sydney property investment outlook w/Aras Labutis
We recently caught up with Aras Labutis from Coronation Property to talk about the state of the Sydney development market and new projects they have in their pipeline.
Aras comes from a planning background. We spoke about how planning isn't just paperwork, it’s about unlocking value. The right zoning turns dead land into thriving neighbourhoods. That only happens when you understand the rules well enough to bend them without breaking them.
Sydney isn’t short on land. It’s short on imagination and speed. Aras sees time as the biggest killer of good projects. Every delay adds cost. Every change adds risk.
And yet, his team keeps building. Merrylands. St Peters. Ashbury. Places reshaped from the ground up. With gyms, saunas, coffee, and life built in from day one — not as an afterthought. That's the future.
This is the last episode in the Sophisticated Investor series. We’re working on a new series in June, which will continue our commitment to bringing you the latest content and insights to help you manage your property investments.
