We don’t just build. We listen,
plan, and create places that last.

Where others see land, we see potential for connection, for community, for buildings that respect their context while elevating it. The best developments don’t announce themselves. They belong.

FOUNDER & DIRECTOR

Claire O’Rourke,

With over two decades in property development and delivering projects ranging from $20M to $700M, Claire founded Cohere Projects in 2023 to challenge the industry’s short-term thinking. Her approach is strategic, design-led, and deeply rooted in creating community value that lasts beyond the final inspection.

 

Her career began with some of the world’s largest developers: Mirvac, Lendlease, and Barratt London, where she learned the mechanics of large-scale development.

In 2018, she co-founded Bluebird Projects, a Brisbane-based property consultancy recognised for strategic project advisory. In 2021, she was named one of Queensland’s Top 20 Business Entrepreneurs.

Claire then founded Cohere Projects to challenge the industry’s short-term thinking – building a company focused on quality, sustainability, design, and genuine community benefit in sought-after locations.

Beyond development, Claire is a strong advocate for the property sector. She chairs the UDIA BCC Policy Advisory Committee and the ULI Queensland District Committee, sits on the ULI National Council, and serves as a Board Member for UDIA Queensland. She holds tertiary qualifications in property and construction.
