Orens Capital Milestone | Geelong Guardian Fund Fully Subscribed
Orens Capital is pleased to announce that the Geelong Guardian Fund is now fully subscribed, marking the successful completion of the Creamery Road Project’s 2nd round of fundraising. We believe this milestone not only underscores our investors’ confidence in our vision but also highlights the growing demand for well-structured suburban growth opportunities across Victoria.
Underlying Asset Snapshot
- Total Investor Subscriptions: $21 million
- Asset: 30+ hectare masterplanned precinct
- Development Scale: 600+ residential allotments with integrated retail, office, and community amenities

Investment Highlights
- Prime Location: 100 metres to a local school, within 5 km of two train stations and Geelong Beach, and just 30 minutes from Melbourne’s western employment hub.

Why Geelong?
We believe Geelong has rapidly emerged as one of Victoria’s most dynamic growth corridors. Its unique positioning offers the perfect blend of coastal lifestyle, connectivity, and economic expansion:
- Population Growth: Geelong is among the fastest-growing regional centres in Australia, with sustained demand for new housing driven by both migration from Melbourne and regional population growth.
- Employment Hub: Anchored by healthcare, education, advanced manufacturing, and port-related industries, Geelong offers a substantial and diversified employment base.
- Connectivity: With direct train links to Melbourne, proximity to Avalon Airport, and access to major highways, Geelong is one of the most accessible regional cities in Australia.
- Lifestyle Appeal: The area offers beaches, wineries, and cultural attractions that appeal to both families and professionals seeking a balanced lifestyle outside of metropolitan Melbourne.
- Government Backing: Significant infrastructure investments, from rail upgrades to new schools and hospitals, continue to strengthen Geelong’s long-term growth fundamentals.
For Orens Capital, Geelong represents a rare opportunity: an established regional hub with the potential for metropolitan-scale growth. By strategically securing land in this corridor, we believe we are positioning our investors to benefit from both short-term land value uplifts and long-term community-driven growth.
Looking Ahead
We believe the successful subscription of the Geelong Guardian Fund reflects not just a strong project pipeline, but also the confidence our capital partners place in Orens Capital’s long-term investment ethos. We remain committed to identifying high-potential greenfield opportunities, delivering sustainable communities, and generating enduring value for all stakeholders.
We thank our partners for their continued trust and look forward to sharing more updates as the project progresses.
