  Brad Wilson

  Company Director

  Brad is a Director and co-founder of Urban Estates. With a 25-year background in architectural home building and extensive land development experience, he brings a deep understanding of how people live, along with a practical, hands-on approach. Working alongside Justin to lead the business, Brad plays a key role in ensuring each neighbourhood is thoughtfully planned, well-executed and built to stand the test of time. 

  I'm passionate about creating well-planned communities that not only meet today’s needs but add value for generations to come. It’s about seeing the bigger picture while never losing sight of the details. Both perspectives contribute to the end result.

  Justin McDonald

  Company Director

  Justin drives acquisitions at Urban Estates, combining sharp commercial judgement with a practical, design-conscious approach to every project. Known for identifying opportunities, he values strong relationships, trust and long-term thinking as the foundation for lasting success. With a builder’s eye for detail and a strong appreciation for architecture, Justin believes land development is about more than delivering sections—it is about creating lasting communities that enhance their surroundings and support future generations.

  For me, land development is about creating a place you call home that will thrive for years to come—places you can look back on with pride, knowing the vision, design detail and architectural thinking were there from the beginning.
