Our Story
Madigan was established to invest in institutional grade non-bank commercial real-estate debt.
Founded in 2016, Madigan is a privately owned funds management company established by Michael Wood, who has been a pioneer of the non-bank real estate debt sector since the 1980s.
In 2021, European commercial real estate manager, CC Real made a 50 per cent investment in the company motivated by the opportunity in the sector and the quality of the team.
Madigan now manages over $1 billion of funds on behalf of major Australian superannuation and insurance funds with investments across various real estate and social infrastructure sectors in all stages from asset creation to mature income producing stabilised assets.
Delivering returns in line with each investor’s personal goals, Madigan has proudly returned full principal and interest on every investment and a consistent absolute return to investors.
For borrowers, a relationship driven approach has seen Madigan work closely with clients to maximise their capital efficiency and deliver on their asset ownership objectives.

We now look forward to our next phase of growth as the non-bank lending sector gains traction, borrowers look for more flexible finance solutions and investors seek consistent absolute returns.
