LEADING property industry veteran Greg Paramor has joined the board of fast emerging Perth-based real state advisory firm NS Group.
Established in 2003 NS Group has expanded its national footprint in recent years, opening new offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Its portfolio include A-League franchise Sydney FC, UTS masterplanning, the Heffron Centre (with Randwick Council and the South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL club), Sydney Olympic Park Town Centre, the North Melbourne AFL club and a number of CSIRO facilities.
With more than 45 years’ experience, Paramor will advise NS Group on its plans to accelerate growth in the eastern states, including facilitating industry networks and mentoring the group’s senior executives.
NS Group chairman Ross Donaldson said Paramor’s industry experience and insights would be invaluable in the Group’s implementation of its strategic growth plans across the country.
“Based upon our initial success on the eastern seaboard we’re keen to scale up our national presence and boost our share of advisory appointments attached to large-scale projects.
“Greg’s networks and standing in the property and development industry are unmatched. He has always read the market opportunities differently from, and often ahead of, his peers. Being able to draw on this perspective as we set about consolidating our national presence is an enormous boost for our team,” he said.
Paramor said: “Having had recent exposure to NS Group through one of my roles I am deeply impressed with the quality of their work, their people and their culture. The team brings a highly valuable capability set to property-related initiatives and a deep commitment to meeting client aspirations. I am keen to see the firm grow and succeed – it was a natural fit for me to commit to an advisory role and I look forward to contributing to their team in whatever way I can.”
Paramor is currently the chair of investment group Leftfield Investments and mortgage manager TierONE Capital and a non-executive director of Charter Hall. He was a co-founder of Growth Equities Mutual, Paladin Australia and the James Fielding Group and CEO of Mirvac between 2004 and 2008; and is past president of both the Property Council of Australia and Investment Funds Association.
Paramor is also the current Chair of BackTrack, an organisation assisting vulnerable young people, and a board member of the Sydney Swans and Sydney Swans Foundation. He was awarded an Order of Australia for services to the community and to the property industry in 2015 and was inducted into the Property Hall of Fame in 2019.
