Mirvac Retail's portfolio strategy has been to increase our exposure to key urban and metropolitan markets while divesting out of our regional markets with weaker long term investment fundamentals.
We have successfully executed this strategy with the acquisitions of Harbourside, Birkenhead Point Outlet Centre, East Village, South Village and Toombul Shopping Centre and the divestment of Orange City Centre, Gippsland Centre, Hinkler Central and City Centre Plaza Rockhampton. This strategy recognises that key metropolitan locations have a number of attractive investment attributes including continued urbanisation, high barriers to entry, densely populated catchments, deep employment markets and high household wealth. As a result, Mirvac is able to generate significant management synergies with a 72% portfolio exposure to urban and metropolitan Sydney locations.
With over $1 billion in the development pipeline and the recent acquisition of $1.2 billion in strategically located urban assets, further plans are in place to grow our urban portfolio through acquisition and development.
As part of our commitment to creating value for our customers, Mirvac Retail has spent approximately $400 million redeveloping our assets since 2014. During that time we have delivered a number of unique and highly innovative retail spaces, and we are continuing to explore new and exciting ways to realise the full potential of all our assets.
The Mirvac Retail portfolio continues to outperform the IPD benchmark against our peer group for Total Returns on a 1, 3 and 5 year basis, testament to our investment management capability and commitment to our customers.

Reviews
Design and tenant management into base design.
My role is in corporate, working alongside the business to support them in delivering sustainability initiatives. My role is collaborative - to provide assistance where asked, and also to implement group-wide projects. This includes volunteering, our Reconciliation Action Plan, sustainability reporting. There are other wonderful elements to my role, but these would be the key areas.
A very desk based role, with most of the time spent documenting projects. Little to no interaction with external consultants.

Pros and cons of working at Mirvac
Pros
Mirvac offers graduates the opportunity to be trained and mentored by industry leaders. This, along with gender equality amongst divisions, diversity and inclusion - is the reasons why I have been inspired to continue working in the industry I am in. are all factors that influenced my decision to grow in the development industry.
Flexibility Supportive workplace My team is experienced and are very supportive and helpful
The flexibility and work/life balance.
Flexible arrangements, everyone is very down to earth, management open to improving old processes.
I love working at Mirvac for the support I receive from all those around me - leaders and colleagues alike. I'm fortunate to have regular, constructive conversations about opportunities for learning and development. I also enjoy the opportunity to learn about all areas of the business. Though I'm in a corporate function I have regular exposure to the construction, office and industrial, retail and residential divisions. Have you seen Mirvac's sustainability strategy? It's bold, relevant and diverse. There's a lot to love. Also innovation, gender equality, its integrated building model.
Cons
The company is very large and sometimes I feel myself being left out of the loop as a young graduate.
Such a large company Wearing formal attire
Uninspiring projects.
The only concern I have about working at Mirvac is that there is no short line of vertical progression. I see lots of areas to move to horizontally, to learn and to build on my expertise, though my own team is small. There is value in this as well, so it feels strange to say it's the 'worst' thing about working here.
