This episode was with Shilpin, a second generation developer who is building the next phase of growth at Superb Realty.

What made this conversation interesting was how we explored the Eastern Suburbs in depth from the goodwill built over years to the opportunities that still exist in this market.

We spoke about the difference between Greenfield projects and redevelopment and the long-term vision for the next 20 years.

A big part of the conversation was around scaling, managing team bandwidth, planning growth over the next 2–3 years, and the transition from Skyline to Superb Realty, including the story behind the name.

We also discussed expansion plans, their upcoming landmark project Altura, and how they are focusing on building systems like air quality and a strong digital backbone.

Towards the end, he shared how he manages decisions, what his weekly routine looks like, and his experience of working with family, along with key learnings from Jitendrabhai.

A podcast to understand real estate growth, legacy, and building systems for the future.
