In this episode, we’re joined by Jon Tyson, co-founder of Dominion and a visionary in property development. Known for his strategic, systemised approach and strong focus on relationships, Jon shares how he creates high-value, tenant-first projects that benefit both investors and the communities they serve. We look at why a great tenant experience is essential to attracting quality renters—and how that directly impacts long-term returns. Jon explains the difference between buy-and-hold and buy-and-sell strategies, and why matching the right site to the right strategy creates more predictable outcomes. We also explore the common misconceptions around co-living, and how modern designs with private living spaces and shared amenities are attracting tenants like CEOs, pilots, and top-tier professionals, challenging outdated views and setting a new standard for investment properties.
