At Level 33, we’ve spent over 25 years turning vacant sites into places where people actually want to live and along the way, we’ve learned that a good developer builds apartments, but a great one builds community. That’s the story behind our name, our projects, and everything we do across Sydney and the Illawarra.
Who Is Level 33?
Level 33 is a family-owned property development group headquartered in Riverwood, Sydney, with more than 25 years of experience delivering residential and mixed-use developments across New South Wales. We’ve completed over 21 developments and delivered more than 1,500 residences, with our footprint stretching from Sydney’s southern suburbs down to Wollongong and the broader Illawarra region.
We’re not a faceless corporate developer working off a spreadsheet. We’re a hands-on group that stays involved from the first concept sketch through to the day residents get their keys and often long after that, through our Customer Care Program.
Quick snapshot:
| Founded | 1999 |
| Head office | Riverwood, NSW (Sydney) |
| Regions covered | Sydney metro + Wollongong/Illawarra |
| Developments completed | 21+ |
| Residences delivered | 1,500+ |
| Ownership | Family-owned, privately held |
This is who we are in one paragraph: a Sydney-born developer that grew up, stayed independent, and never lost the personal touch that got us started.
How Did Level 33 Start?
Level 33 was founded in 1999 with a simple ambition to deliver residential developments that people would be proud to call home, built by a team small enough to care about every detail. We started in Sydney’s southern suburbs, an area we still call home from our Riverwood head office today.
What set us apart early on wasn’t scale, it was consistency. Every site we took on, we asked the same question: would we want to live here ourselves? That question shaped our first projects, and it still shapes every site selection meeting we have today. Over two and a half decades, that discipline compounded into the track record we have now 21+ completed developments and a reputation as one of Sydney’s trusted builder-developers.
We didn’t chase every opportunity that came our way. We grew deliberately, project by project, suburb by suburb, which is part of why our name carries weight with buyers, agents, and industry bodies like the Urban Development Institute of Australia NSW today.
What Does Level 33 Build and Where?
We build residential and mixed-use developments, from boutique low-rise apartments to larger-scale towers, and we work across both established Sydney suburbs and the growing Illawarra coast. Our projects fall into a few clear categories: residential property development, luxury apartment development, boutique apartment development, coastal property development, and off-the-plan apartments for buyers investing early.
Where you’ll find us:
| Suburb / Region | Example project | What we built |
| Riverwood | Level 33 head office site | Our home base and origin point |
| Wolli Creek | Vicinity Point | 176 residences across two towers, near Wolli Creek Village and station |
| Kogarah | Premiere Kogarah, Kogarah Central | 87–106 residences, part of Kogarah’s ongoing reinvigoration |
| Wollongong | Skye Wollongong | 18-storey tower, 105 residences with harbour and city views |
| Kiama | Elan, Kiama | 20 residences, coastal-focused design |
| Carlton | Residential development | 104 completed residences |
We deliberately don’t specialise in only one property type or one suburb. That range is intentional; it means we understand what makes a Sydney CBD-adjacent apartment work differently from a Wollongong coastal development, and we design accordingly rather than applying a one-size-fits-all template. You can see the full spread of what we’ve delivered and what’s currently underway on our projects page.
What Values Guide Every Level 33 Project?
Three values sit behind every decision we make: personalised, quality, and innovation. They’re not framed prints in our office lobby, they show up in how we actually run projects.
Personalised means we stay present at every stage, from conceptualisation to settlement and beyond. We don’t hand a project to a builder and disappear until completion. Our team is on-site, in the design meetings, and available to buyers well after settlement day.
Quality means we hold ourselves to a standard that doesn’t get compromised when a project runs behind schedule or over budget because we believe the finish and function of a home is the one thing a buyer will judge us on for the next 20 years, long after the sales campaign is forgotten.
Innovation means we don’t build the same apartment layout in 2026 that we built in 2010. We adopt new construction techniques and design approaches as they prove themselves, because the way people want to live keeps changing, and a developer that doesn’t adapt gets left behind.
Put together, these three values are why our projects whether in Sydney or Wollongong tend to share a family resemblance in quality even when the architecture looks completely different from site to site.
Why Does Level 33 Partner With Award-Winning Architects?
We partner with award-winning architecture firms like Turner Studio and DKO Architecture because we believe design excellence is best delivered by specialists, handled in-house. Bringing in decorated, independent architectural talent means every development benefits from ideas and standards shaped by dedicated design practices perspective that goes beyond what an in-house team alone can typically produce.
This is a deliberate positioning choice. Plenty of developers treat architecture as a cost line to minimise. We treat it as the reason a building holds its value and its appeal for decades rather than years. Whether a project overlooks Sydney Harbour or sits on Wollongong’s North Beach, that partnership model is why our finished buildings tend to look considered rather than generic.
How Does Level 33 “Build Communities,” Not Just Buildings?
We build communities by staying involved in the neighbourhoods we develop in long after the last apartment settles, through an ongoing Customer Care Program for buyers and a genuine Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment to local organisations. Giving back isn’t a marketing add-on for us; we consider it an essential pillar of our success, and it’s baked into how we operate as a business.
Our Customer Care Program is designed to make the transition into a new Level 33 residence seamless, with support that continues well past settlement because we’re not interested in a one-time transaction, we’re interested in a resident who’s genuinely happy they chose us.
On the CSR side, we support a range of community and charitable organisations across the regions we build in:
| Organisation | Focus area |
| Kogarah Public School | Local education |
| Botany Bay Garden Day Contest | Community event |
| Pink Hope | Health advocacy |
| RSPCA Yagoona | Animal welfare |
| Kingsgrove Colts | Junior sport |
| St Michael Church Kirrawee | Local community |
| Sydney Children’s Hospital | Paediatric health |
| Oxfam Australia | International aid |
| St Nicholas Church Punchbowl | Local community |
| Camp Quality | Childhood cancer support |
| MS Sydney to the Gong | Health fundraising |
This is what “building communities across Sydney” actually means to us in practice. It’s not just a headline, it’s a list of organisations we show up for year after year, in the same suburbs where we’re laying foundations.
What’s Next for Level 33?
What’s next is more of the same discipline that got us here, applied to a growing pipeline across Sydney and an expanding presence in Wollongong and the Illawarra. We’re continuing to acquire prime sites in both established Sydney suburbs and coastal growth corridors, with a strong pipeline of upcoming residential and mixed-use projects.
We’re also continuing to grow our team, because delivering on that pipeline without compromising on quality means bringing in more people who share the same standards we started with in 1999. The suburbs change, the skylines change, but the underlying approach stay involved, stay personal, build things we’d be proud to live in ourselves isn’t going anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns Level 33?
Level 33 is a family-owned, privately held property development group it isn’t a subsidiary of a larger corporate developer. That independence is part of why we can stay personally involved in every project rather than answering to layers of corporate approval.

Does Level 33 only build in Sydney, or in Wollongong too?
