Evolving and constantly growing
Founded in 2000, EG has grown rapidly, constantly evolving to find better ways to unlock value for investors as a real estate investment firm for the property industry.
EG, led by Chairman Michael Easson and CEO Adam Geha, began with an initial focus on achieving the highest and best use for land through rezoning. This experience, coupled with the unique ability to foresee growth potential, resulted in the launch of funds management services in 2004. EG is now one of Australia’s largest independent real estate investment platforms, managing real estate on behalf of institutional investors and wholesale clients.
EG Property Advisory, led by Shane Geha, continues to advise on some of the most difficult and high-profile rezoning opportunities in Australia, achieving ‘highest and best use’ for clients property portfolios.
