The Brisbane Long Lunch featured a panel of influential voices: Rob Comiskey (Comiskey Group), Frank Licastro (Frank Developments), Steve Laffey (Verso Projects) and Alexandra Stuart-Robertson (Gallery Group). They delivered a candid discussion on the forces shaping Brisbane’s future — from the city’s rapid growth and evolving residential market to the infrastructure and precinct projects driving momentum toward the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Rob Comiskey, director and co-founder of the Comiskey Group, leads one of Queensland’s most diverse privately held property businesses. The group’s $850 million pipeline includes the Aura Hotel, Coochin Fields, and expansions of Sandstone Point and Eatons Hill — projects that combine entertainment, tourism and lifestyle.

Frank Licastro, founder and managing director of Frank Developments, represents the new wave of Brisbane developers focused on quality and design-led density. His boutique firm has delivered a series of high-end residential projects across the city’s inner suburbs.

As CEO of Verso Projects, Steve Laffey brings two decades of experience in construction and development. He has overseen complex mixed-use and residential projects across South-East Queensland and is known for his pragmatic approach to project delivery.

Alexandra Stuart-Robertson, chief revenue officer of Gallery Group, has successfully led major national sales campaigns for property developers in Australia and China, raising the bar for sales performance. Since 2018, she has been exclusively working with key developers like Villaworld and Gallery Group, establishing the latter's presence in the Sydney investment market and delivering strong sales results through effective brand and business development strategies.

Rob Comiskey (Director & Co-founder, Comiskey Group), Frank Licastro (Founder & Managing Director, Frank Developments), Steve Laffey (Chief Executive Officer, Verso Projects), and Alexandra Stuart-Robertson (Chief Revenue Officer, Gallery Group) sit down with Adam Di Marco (Founder & Chief Executive Officer, The Urban Developer) for a panel discussion.
