About Us

The founders behind the vision

Founded in 2014 by Jordy Catalano and Tom Hywood, AD Group was born from a clear market opportunity: a dedicated platform for showcasing off-the-plan apartments and townhouses. That vision came to life with Apartments & Developments - Australia’s first portal focused solely on brand-new, off-the-plan properties from the nation’s top developers.
‍
Following its success, Jordy and Tommy expanded AD Group’s reach with two new product verticals. Development ID empowers developers and agents with a centralised project inventory and sales connection platform, while Showcase redefines the digital display suite experience - enabling off-the-plan sales well before construction begins.
