In the conversation, Tom highlighted:

  • how Zagga was able to provide flexible, agile and commercially-minded financing for Jamie Durie’s eco-friendly project that had a focus on reducing energy consumption and its carbon footprint
  • the dual benefit of private credit: enabling investors to satisfy their ESG mandates whilst also being able to deliver accessible capital for borrowers to bring innovative projects to life
  • the need for diverse housing solutions, including multi-level residential developments, to address Australia’s shortfall in housing approvals and supply.

At Zagga, we’re committed to driving change by supporting projects that not only meet market demand but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
