Monark Property Partners has strengthened its foothold in the east with the launch of a new Sydney office, reinforcing its commitment to supporting high-quality developments across Australia’s mid-market property sector.
Known for providing flexible debt and equity solutions, Monark says the move reflects rising demand for smart, partnership-driven capital in the region.
Tom Nadav, recently appointed Director of Investments, said the move was a “natural progression” for the firm.
“Sydney is a dynamic, resilient market, underpinned by strong fundamentals, consistent demand, and high calibre of developers. Establishing an on-ground presence here was a natural progression,” he said.
“Our decision was driven by the opportunity to bring Monark’s tailored capital solutions across the full capital stack to a new group of partners.”
Nadav said Monark is focused on structuring bespoke funding solutions rather than taking a formulaic approach.
“We see a significant opportunity to partner with developers who share our commitment to quality, execution, and long-term success,” he said.
The firm’s track record in Melbourne, spanning over a decade, includes backing both emerging and established developers. Nadav said Monark’s approach is “opportunity-led” with capital deployed selectively.
“While strong property fundamentals are always our starting point, our conviction to invest ultimately comes down to the people behind the projects – their vision, their ability to execute, and their alignment with our values,” he said.
“We aim to bring real value to every project we back.”
For Nadav, who is leading the establishment of Monark’s Sydney office, the role was compelling for its culture of collaboration and long-term thinking.
“It was the people – a team marked by cohesion, deep expertise and genuine commitment to excellence,” he said. “Our goal is to partner with our borrowers, support their growth ambitions, and be a strategic ally across their development journey.”

Australia’s rental market has reached a new milestone, with national median advertised rents climbing to a record $670 per week in the June quarter as prices continued to rise across every capital city.
New data from realestate.com.au shows national rents increased 3.1 per cent over the quarter and 6.4 per cent over the past year, while capital city rents rose 2.2 per cent over the quarter to a median of $690 per week, up $10 from the March quarter.
REA Group economist Luc Redman said rental price growth had continued despite a small increase in vacancy rates.
“National median rents reached a new high in the June quarter, with widespread price growth across the capitals,” he said.
“The rent increases occurred despite a small increase in the rental vacancy rate over the same period.”
Melbourne and Perth recorded the strongest quarterly growth among the capitals, with rents increasing 3.5 per cent in each city. On an annual basis, Perth led the nation with rental growth of 10.3 per cent, followed by Hobart at 9.1 per cent and Darwin at 7.7 per cent.
Sydney remained Australia’s most expensive city for renters, with a median advertised rent of $800 per week, while Melbourne and Hobart were the most affordable capital cities at $600 per week.
Regional markets were more subdued, with rents holding steady over the quarter but remaining 5.3 per cent higher than a year ago, suggesting the rapid pace of growth outside the capitals has eased.
Mr Redman said the full impact of the Federal Budget’s changes to investor tax settings was yet to be seen.
“The May Federal Budget, which announced sweeping changes to investor tax settings, occurred in the middle of the quarter, so the full impact on the rental market is yet to be seen,” he said.
“While the vacancy rate has edged higher, the expected decrease in investor demand due to the budget’s tax changes could slow the pace of new supply, putting further pressure on rents.”
The report also found house rents continued to outpace units, rising 2.9 per cent across capital cities over the quarter compared with 1.5 per cent for units. Melbourne was the only capital where renting a unit was more expensive than renting a house, reflecting demand for well-located apartments.
