About Us

Building Quality Communities with Experience, Integrity and Vision

Queensland-based residential property development, built on experience.

Brace Properties delivers thoughtfully designed homes through quality construction, disciplined financial management, and end-to-end project expertise.

Founded by property development professionals John Verster and Phil Brooks, Brace Properties combines more than 35 years of industry experience across residential development, construction, finance, and business leadership. From identifying development opportunities through to project completion, we are committed to creating residential developments that deliver lasting value for homeowners and investors.

Our Approach

As a fully integrated residential property developer, we manage every stage of the development lifecycle, site acquisition, feasibility analysis, planning approvals, construction management, and project delivery. This hands-on approach allows us to maintain quality, manage risk, and ensure every project is delivered to a high standard.

Our leadership team brings together complementary expertise. CEO John Verster has successfully delivered more than 400 residential dwellings, with extensive experience in residential development, construction management, and project delivery. CFO Phil Brooks contributes financial leadership, investment analysis, corporate governance, and operational oversight, ensuring every development is underpinned by sound commercial strategy.

Together, we combine practical development experience with disciplined business leadership to deliver residential projects that are commercially sustainable, thoughtfully designed, and built for long-term value.

Whether delivering boutique developments or larger residential projects, Brace Properties is committed to creating quality homes and building trusted relationships with investors, consultants, and contractors throughout Queensland — while staying connected to the communities we build within.
