We're pleased to announce that David Phillips Australia (DPA) was acquired by The Global Living Company on 8th June 2025. The acquisition marks a significant milestone in the DPA’s growth journey and positions it for continued expansion across Australia and the wider APAC region.
The Australian business will continue with the same team that has grown it since launch in 2023, and be led by The Global Living Company’s group CEO, Nicholas Gill. Nick, who has been at the helm of DPA since its launch in 2023, will continue to steer the company through its next phase of growth. Under his leadership, DPA has already developed relationships with a significant number of Build to Rent (BTR) and Build to Sell operators and developers, and furnished development in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and Perth.
DPA, which will be renamed The Global Living Company Australia, has a vibrant pipeline of developments that it’s working on in 2025 and 2026, and aims to cement its reputation as a leading furnishing partner in the fast-growing BTR, Build to Sell and Co-Living markets.
The Global Living Company brings deep sector expertise and a long-term commitment to supporting high-growth residential platforms across key global markets. The acquisition provides the Australian business with a strong and stable foundation for accelerated growth in Australia, backed by financial strength and international experience.
“This is an exciting new chapter for David Phillips Australia,” said Nick Gill, CEO. “We’ve built strong momentum locally, and this acquisition gives us the strategic support and scale to achieve even more. With The Global Living Company’s backing, we’re better positioned than ever to deliver for our customers and partners while expanding our footprint across the Asia-Pacific region.”
The deal ensures continuity for customers, suppliers, and employees. There will be no disruption to current live and planned projects, existing operations, relationships, or commitments. The business remains focused on delivering exceptional service, quality, and innovation to its clients and partners.
