Preston Rowe Paterson was established in Sydney in 1988 by Gregory Preston and Gregory Rowe as a property valuation, advisory and management services business
“Since our inception when asked what we specialise in? - Our answer has always been and will always be complicated investment and development real estate, irrespective of the asset class, as well as asset valuation for financial reporting for real property, plant and equipment” - Gregory Preston AM
Quickly recognising the need for a national and capital city presence, they joined forces with like minded firms in Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast in 1993 to develop the firms’ relationships with national clients.
In 1998 the firm’s capital city footprint expanded to include Adelaide, Perth and Canberra.
Neal Ellis and Damian Kininmonth had established Ellis Property Group based in Melbourne with several other offices in Victoria in 2002 and, in 2007, took up the opportunity to join forces with Preston Rowe Paterson and to work with Gregory Preston and Gregory Rowe to drive the growth of the merged firm nationally and, importantly, regionally in Australia.
In 2011 the firm appointed Gregory Sugars as CEO to expand Preston Rowe Paterson regionally and to concurrently lead client and business development. Today the firm has offices in all Australian capital cities and regional centres with offices in New Zealand as well as global connections.
We assist our corporate, private, institutional, government and banking clients in their property endeavours for a myriad of reasons and, since our inception, it has been our philosophy to operate with the highest level of integrity and to be recognised as an elite supplier of real estate valuation, advisory and management services.
