From Palmpoint
to Advent.

Michael’s father founded Palmpoint Pty Ltd in 1987. Michael worked alongside him across acquisitions, council development approvals, contract management and building approvals before taking over the family business.

The family’s early work included the townhouse development at Holmes Street, Kingsford, followed by apartment buildings, townhouses and private residences, principally in Maroubra and Sydney’s south-east. That delivery experience informs Advent’s current apartment projects.
