Whether you’re a developer seeking project finance or a qualified investor exploring strong, income-generating opportunities, APDF is positioned as a strategic partner in Australia’s dynamic property market.

Addressing a Critical Market Need

Australia is currently experiencing a significant housing shortfall, with estimates indicating a deficit exceeding 500,000 dwellings. This sustained supply-demand imbalance is driving the urgent need for new residential and mixed-use development across key growth corridors. (nhsac.gov.au)

At the same time, mainstream financial institutions have tightened lending criteria, particularly for short-term development and bridging finance. This shift has created a funding gap that presents a strategic opportunity for well-structured private capital to enter the market. (nhsac.gov.au)

APDF was established in response to this growing need. By offering flexible, asset-backed finance solutions tailored to developers, APDF enables projects to progress with speed and certainty — unlocking value and supporting housing delivery at scale.
