Spotlight on Queensland

Stewart Dean Heads New Brisbane Office

After more than a decade in Sydney and more recently San Diego in the U.S., Marchese + Partners has now established a full time presence in Brisbane. Faced with an unprecedented demand for their services in the Sunshine State, Principal and Managing Director in Australia Steve Zappia says the move is a natural progression. 'We see a big future for M+P in Queensland', Steve says 'there is no doubt it is the major growth corridor for property development in Australia'.

Senior Associate Partner Stewart Dean (pictured below) has moved to Brisbane to run the new office. Stewart joined Marchese + Partners after gaining a wealth of experience working in large commercial practices in the UK and Australia. Since joining M+P, Stewart has been the Senior Associate in charge of the completed $52 million Village Docklands project in Melbourne and the $32 million Heritage Park, Bowral project. As well as high level client liaison skills, Stewart has a proven track record working on large scale projects. He also possesses exceptional design and construction abilities ensuring that he will be able to lead the Brisbane office in providing the unique services that have become synonymous with Marchese + Partners.
