Panel

The most successful retail assets are becoming more than places to shop — they are destinations people want to visit, experience and return to.

This conversation explores how developers, investors and retailers are creating greater value through destination-led development, from tenant mix and experience to placemaking, investment strategy and changing consumer expectations.

Q&A

From a privately owned property business to one of Australia’s most active and ambitious retail developers and owners, Revelop’s growth story has been built on conviction, agility and a willingness to see opportunity where others don’t.

In this fireside Q&A hosted by The Urban Developer founder Adam Di Marco, we unpack the rise of Revelop—exploring the deals, developments and investment philosophy that have shaped its expanding retail portfolio. We’ll hear how the business identifies value, approaches acquisitions and repositioning and navigates a rapidly changing retail landscape.

It’s a candid look inside the strategy, culture and entrepreneurial mindset behind Revelop’s growth—and where the business is heading next.
