The Peet Difference
Peet Limited was founded 125 years ago by a man with an enduring vision and a strong desire to help people achieve the security that comes with owning property.
James Thomas Peet was a man who recognised the value in land in a "young, progressive country", a wonderful place rich with natural assets and enormous potential.
He created opportunity. The opportunity for every person of every kind to share the benefits of building a home to crate a bright future for themselves and their families.
Today, Peet creates high-quality masterplanned communities and innovative apartment developments across Australia. The communities are designed to become an essential part of everyday life where people can relax and enjoy what is important to them.
With 125 years of experience and expertise, Peet has a powerful heritage that sets us apart.
That's the Peet difference.
Why choose Peet
Confidence in 125 years’ experience
Our founder, James Thomas Peet, established the company in 1895 with the belief that owning property and having a home of your own was every Australian’s birthright. The ‘energetic Englishman’ became one of Western Australia’s most successful and respected real estate people, and the name Peet & Co. became synonymous for ‘reasonable prices and fair dealing’. Since that time, Peet has survived and thrived – through wars, changes in ownership, listing on the ASX and national expansion – James Peet’s legacy has lived on through the generations. Underpinning our continued growth and success are the very same qualities that were evident more than a century ago – vision; strong leadership; courage and integrity; and a passion for property. It’s a powerful heritage that sets us apart.
