Celebrating a Decade of Success
Over the past decade, Cadence Property Group has built a strong reputation in the Australian property landscape.
From humble beginnings as a company of one, to now having built to a team of over 30, a total transaction value in excess of $2 billion, and a further estimated pipeline of $2 billion, we have continued to lead with a steadfast commitment to excellence and innovation.
As we reflect on our journey, we invite you to explore the highlights, milestones, and stories that have shaped our company into what it is today.
Thank you for being a part of our story so far.

2014
Cadence is founded by Charlie Buxton. 
Based on a clear vision to concentrate on industrial & logistics property we execute our first transaction; a purpose-built logistics facility in Altona North, Victoria.
2015
We begin scaling up with several major industrial transactions and our first interstate deal moving into Queensland.
Our first employee and future COO & Head of Development Mitchell Kent joins the team as Assistant Development Manager.
2016
Acquisition of first major industrial estate, The Crossing, a 50ha industrial zoned parcel in Truganina, Victoria that would be the first of many large-scale industrial estates across the state.
We move into our second office.
2017
We establish Cadence Property Group Investment Management (CPGIM) and raise our first private syndicate through a value-add strategy.
The team grows, as does the scale of our projects with the acquisition of several large city fringe development sites to be developed into large mixed-use precincts.
2018
Cadence starts securing and developing large-scale industrial pre-leases, securing over 100,000sqm of deals with major tenants across Victoria and New South Wales.
2019
On the precipice of a new decade, the Cadence executive team brings in more talent, and drafts our first formal business plan and ten-year vision. 
We brace for further growth and acquire the site that will become our future HQ.
2020
COVID-19 supercharges the industrial & logistics sector, coinciding with a record year of development and investment transactions for the Cadence team. 
CPGIM undertakes its first institutional partnership through the acquisition of our first retail asset in Sunshine North, Victoria.
2021
A massive year of delivery and growth with the team doubling to 26 people. Major transactions take place, including the acquisition of 100 ha of industrial land in Craigieburn, Victoria for the future Kinetic Business Park and we move into our new purpose-built office.
Most notably, we transacted over 100,000sqm of forward-funded warehouse space in Melbourne’s south-east, spread across 11 tenancies and delivered on a speculative basis.
2022
Cadence successfully navigates the post-pandemic dynamic of hybrid working and deal-making and continues to originate and deliver on major development and investment deals.
The entirety of 2021’s speculative warehouse space is leased prior to completion, and we repeat business with listed clients, transacting a further 45,000sqm of speculative, forward-funded industrial accommodation this time in Melbourne’s north.
2023
COVID-19 eases, but in its wake global inflation takes off, leading to the fastest interest rate increase cycle in a generation creating both opportunities and threats.
Cadence strengthens up our executive structure by forming a formal leadership team.
Cadences successfully raises its first discretionary value add fund with the creation of the Cadence Australian Real Estate Partnership I (CAREP I).

A NOTE FROM THE CEO
As we reach the 10th Anniversary of Cadence Property Group, it feels fitting to reflect on our journey and the milestones we’ve achieved together over the past decade. When we embarked on this journey in 2014, we started with modest ambitions, guided by two core principles: to work hard every day and to strive for excellence in all that we do. These principles have shaped our approach and brought us to where we are today.
Our goal was not only to excel in our work but also to create lasting value for our clients, partners, and investors. Along the way, we have faced challenges and experienced setbacks, but we have been fortunate enough to have seen more successes than failures. This balance has been essential in helping us grow and deliver on our commitments.
The progress we've made is a collective effort. Each member of our team and wider network has contributed significantly, from bringing new ideas to life to executing complex projects with diligence. This team effort is at the heart of our ability to deliver on our promises and maintain our focus on results.
As we look to the future, we are prepared to continue this journey with the same dedication to hard work and excellence. The coming years present new opportunities, and we are committed to tackling them in a way that aligns with our values and meets the expectations of our investors and partners.
To our clients, partners, and investors, thank you for your continued support and collaboration. Your trust has been crucial to our journey, and we look forward to continuing to work together.
To the Cadence Property Group team, your hard work and commitment have been key to our achievements. Thank you for your dedication and effort.
Here’s to the next chapter of collaboration and achieving our goals.
Charlie Buxton
Chief Executive Officer, Cadence Property Group
