- Charter Hall Group is an integrated property investment, funds management, and development company headquartered in Sydney, Australia, founded in 1991. The company’s core products and services include investment management, asset management, property management, and development management across key real estate sectors—office, industrial and logistics, retail, and social infrastructure. It operates a diverse portfolio of property funds including unlisted direct property funds, listed property funds (A-REITs), and unlisted wholesale property funds, aimed at providing stable returns and capital growth to institutional, wholesale, and retail investors. Charter Hall’s services further encompass property lifecycle management, long-term lease investments, and sustainable urban development across Australia.
Recent major changes include the expansion of its development pipeline to $12.5 billion with $4.9 billion committed to developments, reflecting an emphasis on modern asset creation and tenant-focused development completions worth approximately $1.3 billion in the last 12 months. The company continues to drive sustainability initiatives, aiming to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2025, with more than 80% of power sourced from renewable energy and approximately 72.8MW of solar installations across its portfolio. Charter Hall also significantly increased its sustainable financing facilities, now holding around $6 billion, representing about 20% of its total financing. Additionally, its Group Funds Under Management (FUM) rose by $2.5 billion to $83.4 billion, with acquisitions exceeding $2 billion in the first half of 2025, strengthening its position as Australia’s largest sector-diverse property portfolio owner and manager.
Charter Hall’s strategic focus includes active asset management and development, selective divestment of non-core assets, and leveraging cross-sector tenant relationships for value creation. The company maintains a low balance sheet gearing of around 3%, robust liquidity, and a capital platform exceeding $30 billion, positioning it well for growth and market opportunities. Its developments include the $1.8 billion Chifley South Tower project aimed at creating a premier urban precinct in Australia, alongside significant industrial and logistics estate developments catering to tenant demand. Through these initiatives, Charter Hall supports tenant and investor customers in meeting evolving market needs, underpinned by its expertise in property investment and sustainable asset management across Australia’s commercial real estate landscape.
