ALAND Capability Statement

ALAND was established in 2002

Since founding ALAND more than 20 years ago, Andrew Hrsto has been a driving force behind the group's success.

When I founded ALAND my ambition was to build affordable, high-quality apartments across Western Sydney. Over 20 years later that vision is still behind everything that ALAND does.

The need for new homes in Sydney has never been more urgent than it is right now and I am proud that ALAND continues to identify new opportunities and, equally importantly, bring them to fruition.

ALAND apartments appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors because of their use of high quality finishes, contemporary design and attractive in-house amenities.

ALAND today is operating in a challenging environment, but I remain focussed on creating beautiful, sustainable and long-lasting buildings that will meet Sydney’s housing needs, now and into the future.

Andrew Hrsto, Founder & Owner of ALAND

GEORGE TADROSSE Chief Executive Officer

With a career in the construction and property sector that spans more than 20 years, George Tadrosse joined AL AND in 2012 and was appointed to the role of CEO in 2019.

George commenced with ALAND as a Construction Manager and was asked to lead operations just seven years later – an achievement that he attributes to attitude, resilience and hard work. George looks at life skills as a critical element of success, rather than focussing solely on technical know-how.

George’s leadership style is based on agility, understanding that change can occur quickly and that teams need to be able to adjust. He encourages open communication among team members and believes it is key in delivering for ALAND.

Extremely proud of the work that ALAND delivers, George’s vision for the next decade is to look at new ways to deliver housing which exceeds customer expectations, while maintaining a high level of integrity and respect for ALAND’s core values.

20 years of meticulous attention to detail

Among our community of home buyers, investors, repeat customers and industry peers, our numerous residential developments have set standards for quality and design. It is our commitment to provide the highest quality, not only with the purchase of a new home, but also in the use of sustainable materials and technologies in order to keep our apartments affordable for residents for years to come.

Our projects have demonstrated outstanding quality and meticulous attention to detail for more than 20 years.

Our strategic approach to ESG

As part of establishing ALAND's ESG framework the business undertook:

– research of material topics reported by relevant benchmarked companies and global ESG standards

– strategy workshop and stakeholder engagement to discuss and prioritise material topics based on inputs using a materiality matrix to represent topic importance

– identified and agreed on four broad ESG issues as most relevant for ALAND aligned to Environmental, Social and Governance pillars.

ALAND today is operating in a challenging environment, but we remain focussed on creating beautiful, sustainable and long-lasting buildings that will meet Sydney’s housing needs, now and into the future.

ALAND has recently formalised a strategic approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) that works towards clear ESG outcomes for the business and its stakeholders.

ESG PRIORITY AREAS

Environment

– Product Excellence and Sustainability: deliver best-in-class products which stand the test of time meeting our diverse stakeholder needs including optimising returns and minimising our impacts on the environment. Priority areas include carbon emissions, waste and customer satisfaction.

Social –

Protecting People: People who work for ALAND, our contractors and partners, should get home as safely as they arrived. This includes encouraging safe work and respect for human rights. Priority areas include health and safety, and the supply chain.

Developing People: ALAND is a great place to work and grow in the Australian property sector. We are committed to providing a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace where we strive to develop mental, physical and financial wellbeing through the education and upskilling of our stakeholders.

Governance

– Governance and Risk Management: ALAND embeds strong governance and risk management practices across its entire operations.

ALAND is passionate about providing affordable housing to the community.

St Marys Public School community initiative improved school equipment, including the basketball courts. Small image: Campbelltown project hoarding was designed with local school students and indigenous artist, Danielle Mate.

ALAND in the community

We are committed to creating sustainable and thriving communities where people can live, work, learn and play.

“We’ve grown considerably in the past two decades, and we recognise the importance of giving back to the local communities that have supported us for so long.”

“Our Community Projects Initiative is an invaluable opportunity for ALAND, and our employees, to volunteer time and resources to local families and communities.”

– ALAND Founder & Owner Andrew

Hrsto

As a far-sighted developer, ALAND strives to build thriving communities, not just homes.

ALAND COMMUNITY

There is an increase in the population density of Australia's major cities, as more and more residents – both domestic and foreign – prefer to live in these areas due to the opportunities that they offer. As cities continue to grow rapidly, there are numerous opportunities for them to evolve and prosper in new, environmentally friendly ways. However, it also puts considerable strain on our infrastructure and communities as we adapt to a new way of life. As we grow, we need to continue to stay connected to each other.

It is ALAND's responsibility to make a positive impact on the communities in and around its assets – after all, the places we create will have a profound effect on the lives of people who live, work and play there. Our legacy must be one that enriches communities, and we must listen to our stakeholders so that we understand what is important to them as well. In this way, we will be able to make collaborative decisions that will positively impact people and create places where they will feel safe, happy, healthy and connected.

Community connections are highly valued. As a result of our early investment in social infrastructure, we have been able to demonstrate that we are able to create flourishing communities.

ALAND has been working on developing a new way to increase and measure our social impact and whether we are generating a social return on investment. While this may take some time and planning, we believe this is an important area to invest in.

We are committed to creating community hubs where residents can play an active role in developing the fabric of their community.
