Hamish Macdonald
Senior Consultant
I find the creative aspect of the work fulfilling; figuring out how to acquire or improve value on projects once we’ve got them. I also get a lot out of developing and growing Avant Townhomes, from an idea to becoming a significant player in its sector of the market. Intrapac’s size and flexibility is key. It’s a capable business with a relatively simple structure that allows it to do things in a very professional manner, faster than others.
Hamish Macdonald is a senior consultant working with Intrapac Property, bringing more than 35 years of experience across property development, construction and strategic real estate advisory in both Australia and international markets.
Having spent much of his career leading businesses focused on the development and construction of commercial and residential real estate, Hamish plays an integral role in supporting Intrapac’s business development, strategic acquisitions and project positioning across the company’s growing national portfolio.
Working closely with Avant Townhomes General Manager David Lunardi, Hamish has been instrumental in the growth and evolution of Avant Townhomes, helping shape the business from an emerging concept into a recognised player within Australia’s medium-density housing sector.
Hamish works extensively on the early visioning, positioning and strategic planning of projects including Aureus, Kinley, QUAY2, Whiterock and Creekside in Bundoora. His experience spans acquisition strategy, urban design direction, project feasibility and identifying opportunities to unlock long-term value through placemaking, sustainability and responsive community design.
He has played a key role in several significant Victorian acquisitions, including Intrapac’s Bundoora project adjoining Darebin Creek, where environmental regeneration, ecological enhancement and infill placemaking form central pillars of the community vision.
Hamish is particularly passionate about the creative and strategic aspects of property development — identifying opportunities to enhance value, shaping project identity and helping deliver communities that respond to both market demand and the evolving way Australians want to live.
