Prominent property developer Evans Long has announced the promotion of current development manager Sujay Singh to the newly created role of Head of Development.

Evans Long director Dirk Long said Sujay has provided the business significant amount of expertise and professionalism during his tenure as development manager and the new role would now see him oversee all the development activities across the whole group.

“Throughout his eighteen year development career, Sujay has played significant roles in the delivery of award winning projects and we have seen this first-hand across our business. He’s proven to be astute and determined and above all he’s a quality person who is a great cultural fit for our business,” Dirk said.

Fellow director Matt Evans said Sujay’s new role will see him spearheading the execution of the current portfolio of projects including the A1 commercial building within the Maroochydore CBD and Proxima at the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct.

“Sujay will manage the wider development team and pursue development opportunities so we can build a future pipeline of projects for the business. He will also work with Dirk and I on the Group’s long-term strategy as we have some exciting plans on the horizon,” Matt said.

Sujay said he was excited to take on the new role which would incorporate many of the skills he has acquired over the years including property development, acquisitions, funds and asset management in the commercial, retail, residential, health and industrial sectors.  

“I’m excited about the opportunity to build on Evans Long’s impressive track record to date and ensure the delivery of the current portfolio of projects is executed in line with our high standards.

“Evans Long is a perfect blend of true-developer experience coupled with entrepreneurial spirit. Our business operates with an incredible amount of autonomy so we are well positioned to secure unique opportunities over a variety of assets classes over the next few years.

“We have a great team and culture in place and Dirk and Matt have put a lot of faith in me to help steer the ship into the future. I’m eager to see where we can take the business,” Sujay said.
