Committed to excellence
Our focus is on making life simpler for our clients by combining research and advisory services, product design, marketing, sales and creative into one service offering; one touchpoint; one voice — One Fell Swoop.
Every service we offer is about maximising gross realisable value and sales rates. Our involvement, in part or in whole on a project, gives you professional, experience-based insights into how decisions made in one part of a project can affect sales rates and price. It’s why we have evolved into the full-service business we are today.
Across One Fell Swoop offices in Melbourne, Sydney and London you’ll find art directors, designers, copywriters, a Doctor in Gerontology, financial analysists, an economist, real estate agents and an actuary — to name a few. These diverse skills, paired with our incomparable industry knowledge, enables us to consistently deliver exceptional outcomes.



Dedicated to raising industry standards, we challenge conventional category thinking. As members of several peak industry bodies, we are often asked to speak at conferences around the world. Every year, we run the One Fell Swoop International Study Tour, bringing together the world’s leading minds in retirement living and aged care. This allows us to share the latest built-form and service model innovations with our clients.
The result is the creation of communities for increasingly discerning seniors, providing them with outstanding lifestyles while helping our clients achieve the best return on their investment. In recent times, we have helped clients achieve more than A$7 billion in development sales. Wherever you are on your development journey, talk to One Fell Swoop about helping your retirement living or aged care project to soar.
