Built on something solid

We’re more than just a home builder – we’re part of a story that began in 1989 with three friends who shared a simple but powerful vision: to make homeownership more affordable for Australian families.

That vision belonged to Peter Hayes, Rob Bowen, and John Harvey, who founded Henley Properties Group with a commitment to quality, transparency, and value.

From humble beginnings, this vision has grown into something truly remarkable. With more than 60,000 homes built across Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia, Henley Properties Group has become one of Australia’s most trusted home builders.

Our family of brands includes Plantation Homes, Henley, and of course, Edgewater Homes – each delivering homes that are stylish and expertly built.

But our journey didn’t stop there. In 2009, we joined the Sumitomo Forestry Group – a global leader with a rich history in sustainable forestry, manufacturing, and home building dating back more than 330 years. With their backing, we’ve continued to grow, bringing the security, experience, and innovation of a global powerhouse to every home we build.

We're proud to stay true to our founding principles – creating homes that are affordable without sacrificing quality, designed to fit modern lifestyles, and built with integrity.

Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or investing, you’ll find a home you can trust – built on a solid foundation of experience, quality, and customer care.

It's not just a home.
It's an Edgewater home.
