Specialists in LMR development, Pattern Book compliance, and modular integration.
NSW needs 185,000 new homes
in the next five years.
Traditional methods won't get us there.
We founded Iconic Centre to bridge the gap between government housing policy and practical delivery. The Pattern Book exists. The modular capability exists. The finance solutions exist. What was missing was someone to integrate all three.
NSW's housing affordability crisis isn't just about supply. It's about the speed and cost of delivery. Traditional development timelines of 18 to 30 months mean capital sits idle, risks compound, and market conditions change. Landowners, investors, and developers deserve a better pathway.
The NSW Government's Low and Mid Rise Housing (LMR) initiative was designed to accelerate housing delivery in transport connected suburbs. Combined with Pattern Book pre approved designs and Complying Development Certificate (CDC) pathways, the regulatory framework exists to deliver housing faster than ever before.
But policy alone doesn't build homes. The gap between opportunity and execution requires deep expertise in NSW planning, established relationships with certified manufacturers and specialist financiers, and the operational capability to coordinate complex projects from feasibility to handover. That's what Iconic Centre delivers.
Early adopters of NSW's LMR framework with Pattern Book-aligned delivery from day one.
Certification, manufacturing, and finance integrated through a single relationship.
Fast doesn't mean cutting corners. It means removing the friction that slows traditional development without sacrificing quality or compliance.
No hidden fees, no surprise variations. Fixed-price contracts and clear timelines from feasibility to handover.
We don't just process projects. We align our success with yours, guiding from initial site assessment through to completion.
Every solution starts with understanding the regulatory landscape. We design with compliance built in, not bolted on.
A single point of contact coordinates certification, manufacturing, and finance. No chasing contractors. No coordination gaps. No surprises.

Modular construction funding solutions
Our team brings together decades of experience across property development, town planning, and construction in NSW. We understand not just the letter of planning regulations, but their practical application, navigating the complexities of council requirements, environmental constraints, and heritage considerations.
This expertise is critical because the LMR opportunity isn't about finding loopholes. It's about understanding how Pattern Book designs, CDC pathways, and modular construction can work together within the regulatory framework to deliver compliant, high quality housing faster than traditional methods.
We've worked across Greater Sydney, Newcastle, and the Central Coast, developing deep knowledge of local planning controls, council preferences, and site specific challenges. When you work with Iconic Centre, you're accessing not just a process, but accumulated expertise that anticipates obstacles before they become delays.
First movers in the LMR space with deep understanding of Pattern Book compliance requirements and CDC approval pathways across all 171 eligible suburbs.
Proven track record coordinating off site manufacturing with site works, solving the timing and logistics challenges that derail most modular projects.
Understanding of modular specific funding structures and established relationships with specialist lenders who understand off site construction milestones.
We're not a modular manufacturer. We're a development management company that integrates manufacturing, certification, and finance into a single coordinated delivery model. While other providers focus on one piece of the puzzle, we coordinate the entire journey from site assessment through to handover, ensuring each specialist works in sync with the others.
NSW's Low and Mid Rise Housing initiative represents the most significant planning reform in decades, creating a unique opportunity for accelerated development in 171 suburbs. Our deep expertise in NSW planning law, established relationships with local certifiers, and understanding of Pattern Book compliance means we can deliver outcomes other providers can't match in this market.
We work with three main groups: landowners who want to develop their property but lack construction expertise, investors seeking faster returns through reduced development timelines, and builders/developers who want access to our M-I-A partnership framework for certification and finance. Each group benefits differently: landowners get expertise, investors get speed, developers get certainty.
While Iconic Centre is a recently established company, our team brings together experienced professionals from property development, town planning, construction, and finance. We founded the company specifically to capitalise on the LMR opportunity, combining fresh thinking with deep industry experience to deliver a new approach to housing delivery in NSW.
