RealEstat.id (Jakarta) – At a time when Australia’s residential development landscape is marked by a dramatic pullback from foreign investors—particularly from mainland China, once the region’s dominant buyer pool—One Global Capital is charting an entirely different trajectory.
While stalled projects, punitive FIRB stamp duties, and non-resident land taxes have triggered widespread retreat, Iwan Sunito is doing the opposite: scaling, acquiring, and outperforming at a pace that is recalibrating expectations across the industry.
Today, One Global Capital secures a defining milestone with the official registration of its full AFSL Wholesale license, empowering the platform to manage high-net-worth and institutional capital with greater sophistication.
This evolution positions the company not merely as a developer, but as a global fund management and real estate investment powerhouse—one poised to attract a broader spectrum of investors across the region, including a rapidly rising class of Indonesian wealth.
Over the last two years, Sunito has strategically expanded across Sydney’s most dynamic growth corridors, including Green Square, Chatswood, Macquarie Park, and Eastlakes—a portfolio of precincts selected not for convenience, but for their future inevitability.

Eastlakes One Global Gallery, in particular, has become a case study in counter-cyclical excellence. What was once a standard neighbourhood retail centre has transformed into a concentrated commercial engine, driven by yield compression in defensive retail and a curated, community-centric ecosystem.
Eastlakes One Global Gallery has become a standout success, significantly outperforming projected yields. Yield compression in defensive retail, combined with a neighbourhood-centric shopping model, has transformed this asset into a high-performing commercial engine.
Anchor tenant Woolworths alone has seen monthly turnover jump from AUD140,000 to over AUD520,000, ranking it among the highest-turnover metropolitan stores per square metre in the country.
Savills’ November 2025 valuation further elevates the narrative: from AUD19.5M at acquisition (September 2024) to over AUD33M (October 2025), reflecting a staggering 69.2% uplift.
“From an equity standpoint, that’s more than 130% growth in a single year,” said Iwan Sunito, Founder & CEO of One Global Capital. “It matches our projections—only arriving far sooner. It validates our disciplined approach, our selection criteria, and the power of investing in precincts with unavoidable future value.”

Sunito confirms that the company is now preparing for its first-stage dividend before year-end, with another scheduled for Q1 2026.
Momentum continues at Macquarie Park, where One Global Capital is set to deliver Sunito’s fourth hotel using Robotic Volumetric Modular Construction—a system that compresses construction timelines, elevates sustainability standards, and signals the beginning of the company’s global modular hotel platform. Construction begins in July 2026, with completion targeted within 12 months.
“We are establishing a new benchmark for sustainable, high-performance urban development,” Sunito said. “These are returns often reserved for large institutional players—but our platform enables smaller cheque-size investors to participate.”
Eastlakes, Chatswood, Macquarie Park, he added, are all reaffirm the strength of the strategy. “Once we secure our next two major projects in Australia, Indonesia will be the next chapter. Our modular hotel platform is built for global scale, and Indonesia will be among the first markets where this strategy takes flight.”
Building on more than 25 years of experience and landmark collaborations, including with Mitsubishi Estate Asia, One Global Capital now opens its platform to a wider investor base ahead of its planned 2031 public listing.

Samuel Sunito, Director of Fund at One Global Capital expressed, the platform is unique because it gives retail investors access to wholesale-level opportunities.
“Our philosophy is simple: if we help our investors grow, we grow with them. Their success becomes our success. Soon, we will launch the quarterly High Impact Conference—a forum designed to inspire, elevate, and empower our investors and leaders,” he said.
With 23 major buildings delivered and hundreds of national and international awards, Sunito’s legacy spans civic-scale mixed-use developments, retail centres, commercial hubs, residential towers, and community-focused affordable housing.
This depth of experience has shaped One Global Capital into a platform defined by discipline, innovation, and long-term value creation—qualities that increasingly resonate with investors seeking stability and performance in a shifting global landscape.
Armed with strategic acquisitions, increasingly impressive retail performance, and a rapidly strengthening investor base, One Global Capital is not merely navigating the tides of market cycles—it is elevating the benchmark and charting a new course for the industry.
The company is setting a gold standard in the transformation of urban development in Sydney, while laying a robust foundation to unlock large-scale opportunities for Indonesian investors poised to enter the next level of project scale and profitability.

Embracing Indonesian Property Investors
According to Ricky Tarore, Director of Office Services at Savills Indonesia, Sydney has long stood as one of the safest and most strategic investment destinations for Indonesian investors.
Its political stability, robust legal system, and regulatory transparency offer a level of protection that is difficult to match across many markets in the region.
“For investors seeking to strengthen the resilience of their portfolios, Sydney provides an ideal blend of global diversification, capital-value growth prospects, and stable rental income—across premium residential, hospitality, and commercial office sectors. At the same time, currency diversification into the Australian dollar offers an additional layer of protection against local risks and regional volatility,” he explained.
However, maximizing this potential requires a measured approach and a well-structured investment strategy.
Investors must ensure careful project selection—prioritising locations with strong demand, solid infrastructure access, and limited supply pipelines.

Investment structures also need to be built with robust governance, clear distribution mechanisms, legal safeguards for foreign investors, and comprehensive consideration of tax, cost, and currency factors.
A range of schemes, including equity participation, funds, or trusts, allow investors to participate without directly acquiring property, offering flexibility aligned with individual risk profiles and medium- to long-term investment horizons.
To execute an effective investment strategy in Sydney, Indonesian investors are best served by collaborating with partners who possess deep market insight, disciplined project selection capabilities, and strong governance frameworks.
According to Tarore, One Global Capital is among the options worth considering, given its role in providing curated access to premium projects, transparent governance mechanisms, and risk-management processes aligned with international standards.
“With the support of such models, investors can enter the Sydney market more prudently—ensuring that each investment decision aligns with their risk appetite, time horizon, and long-term growth strategy,” he concluded.
