Pindan concerns identified last year
Pindan's Singaporean owner wrote a letter to the group last year confirming it would support all Pindan companies to remain solvent until at least October 2021.
Pindan is a leading national property group that provides fully integrated property solutions Australia wide under its core business streams BUILD & DEVELOP.
For more than 40 years Pindan has delivered a comprehensive range of property and building services including land acquisition, design and construction, development management, asset management and project marketing across multiple sectors. With the expertise to build and manage property Australia-wide, a reputation for delivering exceptional results is well-deserved.
Pindan has headquarters in Perth with an additional seven regional offices around Western Australia and two interstate offices in Sydney and Brisbane.
The business was founded in 1977, originally as a part of the Armstrong Jones Property Group, which built caravan parks, houses and small offices. In 1981, George Allingame and four others bought out the owners. After a period of time, Mr Allingame and David Pringle bought out the others.
In late 2016 Singaporean company Oxley Holdings acquired a 40 per cent stake in Pindan Pty Ltd for $32 million. In October 2019 Oxley moved to full ownership of Pindan Group at zero cost, after cancelling around $24 million in debt. Subsequently, Pindan Pty Ltd, one of the entities which had held George Allingame's and David Pringle's holdings in Pindan Group, was placed into administration.
In May 2021, Pindan Group and several of its subsidiaries were placed into administration, while liquidators were appointed to nine entities, comprising Pindan Capital, Pindan Capital Investments, Pindan Constructions, Pindan Projects WA, Pindan Homes, Pindan Constructions (NSW), Pindan Developments, Pindan Realty, and Moselle Holdings.
