Building on the Extraordinary
Melbourne Sotheby’s International Realty Projects
Melbourne Sotheby's International Realty Projects exists to represent developments of consequence
Projects where architectural integrity matters, where pricing discipline is non-negotiable and where long-term value is prioritised over short-term velocity.
We partner with developers whose ambition extends beyond sell-out — to legacy, reputation, and enduring quality. Our role is to position, protect, and deliver projects that deserve considered representation, both locally and on the global stage.
A Strategic Projects Division
Partnering with Melbourne Sotheby's International Realty gives your project the advantage of a senior-led team deeply attuned to Melbourne's market, amplified by a global luxury network of more than 1,100 offices across 85 countries, and supported by the heritage of the world's most respected auction house.
We are not a transactional project marketer.
We operate as a strategic partner across the full development lifecycle — from early positioning through to final settlement.
Our methodology is insight-led, disciplined, and highly selective. Every project is guided with clarity, conviction, and control.
World-Class Reach, Delivered from Melbourne
The Projects division is led by Mitch Armstrong, a seasoned development specialist with experience across premium residential and mixed-use projects throughout Australia and Asia-Pacific.
Mitch brings an informed understanding of global buyer behaviour, international pricing sensitivity, and the quality markers sophisticated purchasers look for when evaluating new developments.
Through established relationships with high-net-worth individuals across Australia, Asia, North America, and Europe, we create direct pathways to buyers who value quality, design, and long-term performance.
Melbourne Sotheby's International Realty is owned by Mark Harris and Julian Brown, principals of New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty, alongside Rob Curtain, who leads our Mornington Peninsula office. Their combined stewardship brings global sophistication and senior accountability to every project engagement.
Our Mandate
Our approach ensures developments are positioned with credibility, consistency, and confidence — not compromised by short-term discounting or fragmented distribution.
Capital preservation over discount-led velocity
Strict channel discipline and governance
Protection of architectural and design intent
Selective, high-quality international distribution
Senior accountability from feasibility to final settlement
