From Construction Roots to Private Capital Growth
Noosa Civic
Founded in 1952 by Bill and Necia Stockwell, alongside Tom and Norma Rumley, Stockwell began as a Queensland-based construction company built on hard work, family values, and a long-term view. Over the decades, it has grown into a fully integrated property business, managing and delivering all facets of the delivery of the projects including financing, marketing, planning, design and construction, development management, selling, leasing and ongoing property management.
In 1992, Mark Stockwell and Mike Kelso took the reins and steered the business into its next phase of growth. Under their leadership, Stockwell built on its trusted name in property, known for delivering quality assets and creating economic value. Today, under Mark’s leadership, Stockwell projects are part of daily life for thousands of Queenslanders who shop, work, invest, or live in Stockwell-built communities and centres.
Recognising the opportunity to extend its development pipeline to investors, Stockwell established its property funds arm in 2013. Designed to allow investors to co-invest alongside Stockwell in real projects, the business has since delivered forecast returns across more than 30 funds and over 1,200 individual investments, returning more than $800 million in capital and interest to investors.
In 2024, Stockwell’s funds management business was renamed Stockwell Private Capital. This strategic decision reflects a refined focus within the investment arm of the business, shifting focus to Private Debt Funds to offer more consistent, asset-backed income for Wholesale and Sophisticated Investors. These investors can participate through a range of vehicles, including Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs), family trusts, companies, or direct investment, thereby gaining access to opportunities traditionally reserved for institutions.
Today, Stockwell Private Capital continues to build on more than 72 years of heritage, offering a trusted pathway to co-invest in property-backed opportunities. It remains a cross-generational business that understands wealth is not only created but also preserved through partnership, performance, and a disciplined approach to diversification.
