Australian Developer Bathla Calls Administrators, Citing ‘Perfect Storm’
- On Tuesday, major Sydney-based residential developer Bathla Group entered voluntary administration, with restructuring firm Teneo appointed to oversee Universal Property Group and Raj & Jai Construction.
- Managing director Bhart Bhushan cited a "perfect storm of circumstances" for the collapse, including softening sales, rising construction costs, and Federal Government May Budget tax changes affecting the business.
- The company remains strained under more than $3 billion in debt, largely owed to private creditors, while about 15,000 properties are currently under construction across Western Sydney.
- Teneo head of financial advisory Stephen Longley said the firm's priority is to "stabilise the business," though administration has left customers in limbo regarding their homes.
- The developer's collapse complicates the Federal Government's goal of building 1.2 million homes by 2030, amid broader housing market turmoil fueled by rising interest rates and materials costs.
