Meet Jordan Heyer from CHP Group
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Coastal Buys talks to CHP Group Managing Director Jordan Heyer about his connections to the Tweed Coast region and the inspiration behind the company.
What was the inspiration behind CHP Group?
The inspiration was to create a trusted brand delivering high-quality projects across Northern NSW. We saw an opportunity to provide North Coast communities with luxury boutique developments. Today, the business has grown beyond what I could have imagined, with multiple high-quality projects delivered, underway or in the pipeline. Over the past six years, we have built strong partnerships, and cultivated a group of investors and collaborators who share our vision. Following our first successful Kingscliff project under CHP Developments in 2022, we expanded in 2023 with the formation of CHP Group, adding CHP Construction, strengthening our control across the full development lifecycle. Tony Vickers, General Manager, and I as co-owners of CHP Construction have created an integrated model with like-minded people that add further depth to the brand and what it represents.
What sets CHP Group apart from other developers? What makes your projects unique?
Our integrated construction arm works seamlessly alongside our development team, ensuring each project is commercially disciplined, thoughtfully designed and delivered to a standard we are proud to stand behind. Our delivery partner is not a third party, it is CHP Group from acquisition through to completion, the responsibility sits with us, and we remain directly accessible long after handover.
What projects is CHP Group currently working on?
At present, we are in the last four to five months of construction of The Amaretto Collection at 206 Marine Parade, Kingscliff (three full floor apartments, with a double floor penthouse). In the coming weeks, we will commence construction of Calibre at 25 Tweed Coast Road, Cabarita Beach (seven residential apartments and two retail units).
How long have you worked in this industry?
I have worked in the industry since I was 21 years old. Starting with the Churchill Group in Sydney completing fit out works and repairs on industrial warehouses. After commencing my degree in Property Economics at UTS, I then moved into the development space under the Mirvac Graduate Program which led to my passion for property development.
Being able to draw on previous experience from places like Mirvac and Bluestone Capital have been extremely valuable. I have been able to apply institutional standards to boutique development, while maintaining flexibility, integrity and hands-on leadership.
“OUR PURCHASERS ENJOY A RELAXED COASTAL LIFESTYLE WITHOUT SACRIFICING CONNECTIVITY, WITH EASY ACCESS TO OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS SUCH AS TWEED HEADS, CABARITA BEACH, BYRON BAY AND THE GOLD COAST.”
What was it about the Tweed Coast region that appealed to CHP Group?
Our connection is personal. My grandparents purchased one of the first lots in Salt Village more than 20 years ago, grounding our family in the region long before we began developing here. The Tweed is not just where we work, it’s been a part of my life for a long time.
What do you enjoy most about the development process?
When CHP Group commenced its first project, I was across every function of the business. Building the company from its infancy, starting from the first logo and website, has been incredibly rewarding and has given me valuable insight into every facet of the organisation. Today, with an extremely capable team around me, I’m able to focus on what I enjoy most: identifying new opportunities, structuring capital and cultivating relationships with both new and existing stakeholders.
Are you noticing any trends in the current market?
We are finding that our sales campaigns only gain meaningful traction once construction is underway and the project is physically out of the ground. Purchasers want to see tangible commitment from the developer, visible progress, capital deployed and momentum established before they feel confident committing.
What do you believe this area offers buyers?
The Far North Coast of NSW holds a uniquely compelling location. You can step off a plane at Gold Coast Airport and, within 15 minutes, be on your own secluded stretch of Kingscliff Beach. Our purchasers enjoy a relaxed coastal lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity, with easy access to other popular destinations such as Tweed Heads, Cabarita Beach, Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. It is this balance of seclusion and convenience that makes the region such a unique and powerful offering.
What are your favourite things to see and do in the Tweed Coast, Byron Shire or Gold Coast regions?
A venue with a view, paired with a good meal is one of my favourite parts of the North Coast lifestyle. From the iconic Cudgen Headland Surf Life Saving Club overlooking the ocean, to Cubby Bakehouse by the river, or watching the swell roll through at Rainbow Bay, there is always a setting that makes you slow down and appreciate where you are.
