Our history
Established as Palmpoint Pty Ltd in 1987.
The Petrovic family's property development business began in 1987, when Michael's father established Palmpoint Pty Ltd. Michael worked alongside him from the outset, across property acquisition, council development approvals, contract management and building approvals.
Their first multi-residential project was a townhouse development at 93 Holmes Street, Kingsford. It was followed by a steadily growing portfolio of apartment buildings, townhouses and private residences, with much of the early work concentrated in Maroubra and Sydney's south-east.
Michael assumed responsibility for the business as his father grew older. Growth remained measured and conservative: financial security came before scale, borrowing was kept disciplined and every project was carried through to completion.
Today, Advent Property continues that work with Michael and his sons Alexander and Adam. The company name has changed, but the family's direct involvement, long-term outlook and commitment to quality remain.
What endures
Measured growth. Financial discipline. Quality before speed.
The core team
Michael, Alexander and Adam Petrovic form the core team behind Advent Property today.
Michael worked alongside his father from the early years of the business across acquisitions, development approvals, contract management and building approvals. He later took over the family business and today leads Advent Property.
Alexander joined the business full-time after completing a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Finance, in 2020 and a Master of Property and Development in 2022, both at UNSW. He had already worked alongside Michael while studying.
Adam completed a Bachelor of Construction Management and Property at UNSW in 2023. He brings that construction and property background to the third generation of the family business.
