Graeme and Evan Acton
Graeme and Evan have a long established history in the region as one of the Country's largest privately-owned cattle-grazing families which has been in operation for 142 years. The Acton family owns and runs six properties, with an estimated value of in excess of 300 million dollars.
The growth of seaside Yeppoon inspired Graeme and Evan to diversify from the land and cattle-grazing for the first time in their history. Having watched seaside Yeppoon grow and mature in recent years to a lifestyle and tourism destination Graeme and Evan identified the huge potential to become involved in first-class residential developments within the town.
Graeme and Evan recognized the significant success of Andrew Beaumont and Brian Griffin's Urban Property Corporation in securing strategic river-front and ocean front sites for residential developments which have not only delivered quality product to the market, but healthy returns to investors and owner-residents alike.
"Urban Property Corporation have established themselves as a first-class developer with whom we share a strong set of values which underpin our development philosophy, including delivering a high-quality product into the region, continued investment in the region's potential, a commitment to staying with a development long after completion and a willingness to pay for A-Grade, quality sites."

Prior to merging with Acton Property Group, Urban Property Corporation was a privately owned property development and investment partnership based in Rockhampton. UPC has been active in the Rockhampton residential market since 2003 and has established themselves as the market leaders of apartment developments in the region.
Urban Property Corporation's uncompromising approach to site selection, building design and interiors and quality of built form at an affordable price have seen them deliver some of Rockhampton's best performing residential projects into the market place. Evidence of this can be found in examining the success of UPC's The Rocks Apartments on Victoria Parade which was the fastest selling development in the region when released to market in 2005 - with all apartments selling out within three months of release. In addition, more than 25% of purchasers in UPC's The Rocks Apartments on Victoria Parade have purchased an apartment in their most recent development "The Edge Apartments" - this is testament to the company's success in delivering quality projects which not only meet market demand but exceed market expectations.
According to leading market analysts Resolution Research,
"UPC's success lies in their ability to deliver not only a first class quality product but in delivering residential properties to the market with ongoing capital appreciation. Each development is carefully considered to ensure innovative design which sympathises with and capitalises on the opportunities available within premium locations".
Evidence of this can be found in examining the success of UPC's recent developments on the Rockhampton River. Since 2003 UPC has been responsible for over $60 million of riverfront residential and retail developments including their latest project The Edge Apartments. All of these developments not only set new records for off the plan sales, but re-sales have delivered investors capital growth of between 25% and a staggering 40% since settlement. In addition more than 25% of UPC's current investors have brought in previous UPC developments.
