History

The origins of the company date back to the 1920s, when it was established with the incorporation of TM Burke Pty Ltd. In the 1960s, TM Burke merged with Land and Housing Division of the Hooker Corporation. In 1990, the company began trading under the Australian Housing and Land name, also known as Australand. In 1997, Australand was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and the Singapore Stock Exchange. 2000 saw the company acquire the Walker Corporation, with FCL beginning its first development in Australia – the Pavilions on the Bay at Glebe Point. Between 2001 and 2002, the Australand Wholesale Property Trusts were established and in the following year, the Australand Property Trust was renamed Australand Property Group. In 2014, Australand was acquired by Frasers Centrepoint Limited and privatised in October of that year. In July 2015, Rod Fehring was appointed as the CEO and Australand adopted the Global Frasers Property Brand in August. Frasers Property expanded across the Asia Pacific region, with locations in New Zealand and Singapore, as well as other Australian states. In October 2015 Frasers Property Australia launched a retail business unit.
