Bio

Shane attended and completed Sydney Grammar school in 1985 and graduated from the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney in 1989. In the same year he finished university, Shane started his property career in Canberra where he developed nine buildings including the Garden City Motor Inn.

In 1993, Shane started Granada Developments, a development company which managed sites across Sydney including Sutherland, Parramatta, Mosman and Burwood. Granada Developments, in partnership with another firm, carried out a successful 65-unit development in North Randwick and won five development and industry awards including the Royal Australia Institute of Architecture Award for Best Apartment Building Nationally.

Shane, with Adam Geha and Dr Michael Easson AM, founded EG Group in 1999, a multidisciplinary property advisory, investment, and funds management company. The company started with a mere two clients and one staff member but over the years has grown into a thriving advisory and investment firm boasting offices in Australia and America.

In the year 2000, EG raised $36 million for a $72 million fund which purchased land around new train stations being developed across Sydney.

Today, EG currently employs over 120 staff members, has rezoned more than $22 billion worth of property, owns a 50% stake in architectural services firm Willow Inc and has a managed funds business valued at more than $3 billion. EG also operates a property syndication business and a $25 million EG USA fund.

EG has a successful track record of engagement with government referral bodies, statutory authorities and utility companies such as roads, environment, water and heritage authorities, all which play crucial roles in the rezoning process. EG also works with many institutional companies in the rezoning space.

Shane has become one of the leading rezoning experts in Australia and his knowledge of planning and property is one of a kind. Shane bears overall responsibility for all EG’s rezoning projects and has extensive experience in managing large teams to bring EG's value creation concepts to fruition.
