Building a Future in Karratha: 36 Townhouses, Local Vision & Mountway Finance

When a unique opportunity popped up in Karratha — 36 townhouses that had sat on the market for years — one local business owner saw potential where others only saw risk. It wasn’t going to be easy, but with the right support, the project could become the foundation for something bigger. That’s where Mountway Finance came in.

The Challenge

When he first looked at the site, the scale of it was daunting.

“I remember driving in here and going, Whoa, this is way too big and gnarly.”

Over time, his perspective shifted — the townhouses were no longer a scary investment, they were a chance to create a business platform in Karratha. The hurdle? Convincing the banks.

Unlike a standard home build with fixed contracts, renovating dozens of ageing units was unpredictable. Some needed a little work, others needed a lot. Banks don’t like uncertainty, and that made finance tricky.

The Solution

Enter Jordan from Mountway Finance. Right from their first meeting, walking through the townhouses together, there was a shared understanding.

“Jordan saw my vision and where we wanted to go… he could package that up and present it differently to the banks.”

Jordan worked side‑by‑side with the client to structure the finance in a way that addressed the banks’ concerns and highlighted the genuine viability of the project. As challenges came up, Jordan stayed close — helping run different scenarios, problem‑solving, and making sure the finance kept pace with the project’s needs.

It wasn’t cookie‑cutter lending. It was hands‑on, creative, and responsive.

The Outcome

The partnership delivered more than just a loan. It created a springboard for long‑term growth:

• Secured finance for a complex, large‑scale project banks were initially wary of
• Transformed 36 townhouses into a strong business platform in Karratha
• Provided peace of mind with ongoing support and scenario planning
• Built a trusted relationship for future opportunities

Why It Matters

This wasn’t just about finance — it was about believing in local vision and backing it with expertise and persistence.

“Jordan could see the viability of the project and jumped onboard to do the hard yards to push the finance through.”

At Mountway, that’s what makes the difference: taking the time to understand the dream, tackling the tricky bits together, and making finance personal. Because when big opportunities come along, you deserve a partner who believes in your success as much as you do.
