Our joint venture with Arden Vale Homes
Smithstock has partnered with Arden Vale (QBCC 82008) in an exciting joint venture focused on property development. This collaboration involves purchasing pieces of land in the Darling Downs region, on which Arden Vale Homes will then build houses. Once the construction is complete, the properties are sold, and the profits are shared between both parties.
This venture marks a full-circle moment for Tom Smith, as it sees him returning to property investment, the area where he initially started his investment journey. Investing in property through this joint venture offers a streamlined and efficient process, allowing all parties to bypass banks entirely. By funding everything in cash, we eliminate the need for leverage and avoid the complex red tape and delays typically associated with securing bank loans for development projects.
The simplicity and clarity of this cash-funded approach provide a significant advantage, ensuring a smoother and more efficient pathway to successful property development. This venture not only highlights our commitment to diverse and strategic investment opportunities but also reinforces our dedication to minimising risk and maximising returns for our clients.
Why partner with Arden Vale Homes?
This exciting joint venture combines Smithstock's proven investment strategies with Arden Vale Homes' expertise in crafting high-quality homes. They have an impressive list of awards and have been recognised for their work in various categories since 1995.
- Long History of Excellence: Their awards span over two decades, indicating consistent quality and innovation.

- State and Regional recognition: Winning awards at both a regional level and a Queensland level showcases that their build quality can stand up to some of the best on a broad scale.
