Dear Lenders,
Thank you for your interest in the Rostrevor project, an exciting property development opportunity in the highly sought-after suburb of Mont Albert North, Victoria. We are seeking funding contributions to provide seed capital for this project, and we believe it offers a compelling value proposition for your portfolio.
This project involves the development of two high-end townhouses on a prime 975-square-meter development site. Located in a tranquil, leafy pocket of Mont Albert North, the site is perfectly positioned to capitalize on the area’s strong market fundamentals. Mont Albert North is a quiet, family-friendly suburb with a strong community feel, yet it’s only 13 kilometers from the Melbourne CBD and offers excellent transport links, including easy access to the Eastern Freeway and a robust network of public transport. This combination of suburban charm and urban convenience makes it a highly desirable location for both families and professionals.
The local market is experiencing a period of significant growth driven by low housing supply, a trend that is consistently shown to lead to rising property values. Our plans for this site are to construct two meticulously designed townhouses that will meet the demand for premium, new modern residences in the area. We have an expected cumulative sales value of $7,000,000 for the completed townhouses.
We are currently seeking funding contributions of up to $500,000 to secure this development. Lenders can expect to receive a significant return on investment. We are offering a competitive rate of return of between 12% to 14% per annum, which will be paid upon the completion of the project. This offers an excellent opportunity to generate passive income in a stable and growing market.
We are confident in our ability to deliver a successful outcome for all parties involved. We invite you to consider this unique lending opportunity and look forward to the possibility of partnering with you on the Arbor88 project.
Thank you for your consideration.

Your funds are issued to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) through a secured loan agreement. This means the loan is secured against the SPV’s primary asset, which is the development site itself. The interest payments the SPV makes on this loan are what provide your returns.
This structure collectively secures all loaned capital against the development site. In the unlikely event of project failure or insolvency, the primary lender can sell the SPV’s assets (the development site) to recover the loaned capital. If the worst-case scenario occurs, a priority payment scheme ensures lenders can receive their funds back. The interest rate you receive reflects the lien position of the loan, ensuring your return is commensurate with its security.
The SPV also enters into a Management Agreement with Builtfast Homes, which will act as the project manager. In this role, Builtfast Homes is responsible for overseeing the entire development on behalf of the company and the lenders. This includes, but is not limited to:
Administrative tasks: Handling all necessary administrative work to complete the project.
Design and planning: Appointing and working with town planners, architects, land surveyors, and engineers to finalize development plans.
Approvals: Submitting plans to the council and securing all required approvals.
Legal representation: Representing investors in civil tribunals related to the project, if necessary.
Financing: Obtaining a lender to fund the construction.
Sales: Managing the sale of the completed properties, either in-house or by appointing a realtor.
This investment structure is used because it provides robust protection for lenders while allowing us to manage the development in a timely and efficient manner, in line with investor expectations.
