Earlier this year, Deicorp chairman and managing director Fouad Deiri was named Developer of the Year at The Urban Developer ’s 2026 Urban Leader Awards.
Deiri started Deicorp in 1999 with 21 townhouses at Newtown. The business has since delivered 15,000 apartments across more than 40 Sydney suburbs.
On November 26, Deiri joins the panel at T he Urban Developer’s Sydney Long Lunch at Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf.
The year in property: Lessons, wins and what comes next
The panel looks at what the past year taught Australia’s property developers: the wins, the challenges and the lessons from navigating market conditions and delivering major developments.
It then turns to the opportunities, risks and trends set to define the next phase of development.
Bays West Delivery Authority chief executive Anita Mitchell leads the transformation of Bays West and Blackwattle Bay into precincts combining housing, public space and waterfront access. Mitchell brings 30 years of leadership across the energy, water, waste, property and construction sectors.
Billbergia development director Rick Graf has delivered major public and private projects in the US, Hong Kong, Singapore and across Australia over 45 years, with a background in Federal and local government.
Contour3D founder and chief executive Nick Holden runs a business that designs, builds and sells Australian-made, large-format 3D concrete printers. On its duplex at Woolooware, Contour3D used the technology to build the structural shell up to 50 per cent faster.
And for the rest of the afternoon...
The panel sits inside a long afternoon on the harbour: a two-course seated lunch, a charity auction, then drinks, live music and an after party.
It is the final chance of the year to get in front of the people you have been trying to reach, and the one lunch most of them will attend.
Individual tickets and tables of 10 are available now.
