We believe property development can be a force for good.
At The Sociable Weaver Developments (previously Small Giants Developments), we create places that nurture community, regenerate the environment, and deliver long-term value, not just for investors, but for future generations.
We’re a developer for the new economy. We work at the intersection of design, sustainability, and social impact, bringing together visionary architects, purpose-led partners, and a deep commitment to place.
The Commons Hobart
In the heart of Hobart’s CBD is The Commons, a seven-storey multi-residential building with 30 apartments. At its heart, this is a community of residents is choosing to live more meaningfully with each other and the natural world.
The Cape
Our eco-village development at Cape Paterson, Victoria. We got super lucky with this site, it’s the last greenfield development right on the coast in Australia - large enough for 500 homes we built 220 environmentally friendly homes, allowing more space for veggie gardens, parkland, and shared community spaces. Not to mention the path all the way to the beach!
Oxford & Peel
Our second development, built in Collingwood, Victoria has 53 apartments, a communal rooftop space overlooking the city and two commercial spaces on the ground floor. Designed by the team at Jackson Clements Burrows Architecture. Oxford and Peel was completed in 2016 and continues our philosophy of sustainable and community focused development.
In business for good
The Sociable Weaver Developments is part of the Small Giants family, Australia’s first B Corp and a leader in impact investment. We are here to demonstrate what’s possible when business serves humanity and the living world.
Our mandate is to focus on multi-residential and vertical development (think The Commons Brunswick) as well as focus on greenfield development, which is undeveloped land in a city or rural area being used for urban development (think The Cape). In a nutshell, we’re working towards building and retro-fitting healthy and happy cities.
