Andrew Hrsto is the Founder and Owner of ALAND, a leading property and construction company based in Sydney. For over two decades ALAND has created high-quality yet affordable residential apartment developments, mostly in the fast-growing parts of Western Sydney.
The company has masterplanned new communities on greenfield sites on the city’s western perimeter, including its highly popular Schofield Gardens development and embarked on an exciting new project (Archibald by ALAND) on the NSW Central Coast that combines residential apartments, hospitality offerings and hotel accommodation.
Over recent years ALAND has acquired an enviable reputation for creating affordable housing in one of the world’s most expensive cities – it is a reputation that Andrew has pledged to defend.
difference
Sydney has historically been a volatile property market, but the past few years have been particularly challenging for developers. High interest rates, changing planning rules, labour shortages and building supply issues have all made it harder to bring projects to fruition.
Rather than despair at the raft of regulations and growing political scrutiny that developers find themselves facing, Andrew always had the foresight of this coming and why he chose to instead try and create opportunities for people to afford a home and created a nimble, large scale property company like ALAND.

“Paramount on Parkes is a unique project that embodies our vision at ALAND. This development stands out because it seamlessly blends modern design with the vibrant community spirit of Western Sydney. We’ve meticulously planned every aspect to ensure it offers a perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and convenience.
Our aim is to create more than just a residential space; we want to build a thriving community where people can live, work, and enjoy their surroundings. With top-tier amenities, sustainable building practices, and a prime location, Paramount on Parkes is set to become a landmark in the area and I couldn’t be more proud of this project.
Parramatta’s rapid growth and transformation into Sydney’s second CBD make this an exciting time for the region. The city’s development brings enhanced infrastructure, increased employment opportunities, and a vibrant cultural scene, all of which contribute to making Paramount on Parkes an ideal place to live. We are excited to bring this exceptional project to life and contribute to the growth and revitalisation of the local community.”
