Roberts Co secures $50 million capital injection and flags expansion into booming Queensland market
Australia: 23 October 2025
Roberts Co has entered a new phase of growth following its acquisition by Arada, one of the world’s fastest-growing property developers. The acquisition is supported by a $50 million capital injection into Roberts Co’s Australian balance sheet — consisting of the previously announced $25 million recapitalisation and an additional $25 million in new funding from Arada.
This investment strengthens Roberts Co’s financial position, stabilises operations, and provides the foundation for strategic expansion beyond its New South Wales base, with a focus on new opportunities in Queensland, including the Brisbane and Gold Coast regions.
With Arada’s international resources and financial backing, Roberts Co will broaden its portfolio across residential, commercial, and infrastructure sectors, reinforcing its strong market position in New South Wales and setting itself to capture growth in one of Australia’s most dynamic construction markets.
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, said: “Roberts Co has a proud Australian heritage, an outstanding delivery record, and a strong reputation for collaboration with clients and partners. By combining this expertise with Arada’s global scale and financial capacity, we are creating a platform for sustained growth in the Australian market.
“Our $50 million capital injection — including new funds from Arada — underlines our commitment to both stabilise and expand Roberts Co’s operations, particularly into the fast-growing Queensland market. We see significant potential in South-East Queensland’s pipeline and are confident Roberts Co is well placed to deliver lasting value for clients and communities.”
George Kostas, CEO of Roberts Co, said: “This is an important milestone for Roberts Co and a strong vote of confidence in our people, projects and performance. Arada’s backing will help us to deliver on our existing pipeline and set the stage for an exciting phase of expansion — investing in innovation, talent and new market opportunities.
“Queensland, and particularly South-East Queensland, is one of the most active and opportunity-rich regions in Australia right now. The lead-up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games will bring unprecedented investment across housing, transport, and infrastructure. Roberts Co is eager to play a major role in that transformation and secure a meaningful share of this fast-growing market.”
Roberts Co’s strategy continues to centre on its ‘Building a Better Way’ ethos — combining Tier 1 strength and certainty with a people-first approach that drives innovation, collaboration, safety and sustainable value for clients, communities and its workforce. This philosophy has underpinned the company’s success in delivering complex, high-quality projects across Australia.
