In this episode of ReadyTalk, Jack Johnstone speaks with Cieran Kayes, one of Australia’s most dynamic and versatile property developers. From starting out as a bricklayer under his father, to running some of Melbourne’s busiest pubs, and ultimately leading landmark developments with Edge Development Group, Cieran has built a remarkable career. Jack and Cieran's conversation explores how timing and cashflow have shaped his journey, the challenges of turning heritage pubs into successful projects, and the risks he faced during market downturns like the GFC. Cieran also reflects on the evolution of Melbourne’s property market — from townhouses to apartments and beyond — and shares his views on building strong teams, mentoring the next generation, and even venturing into new areas such as NDIS housing.
