  Introducing Project Habito


A residential and commercial property development project north of the Brisbane CBD


"On completion of the sale of the properties, the Project is expected to generate profits of $10m, with an estimated return of over 31%."

  • The project is planned to include 39 townhouses, 1 service station, 3x fast food with drive through and child care.   
  • The location of the project is convenient and close to various amenities e.g. shopping malls, restaurants, bus stops, parks, schools etc.  
  • Due to the lack of some other amenities such as service stations, convenience stores, fast food shops and child care centers, the commercial properties of the project are expected to receive strong demand from tenants. The Company has already received letters of intent from some large potential tenants.
  • Given the convenient location and strong demand from buyers of townhouses and tenants for the commercial properties, the project is expected to be well received in the market upon launch.

Additionally, the BARM System monitors a wider range of drugs than the market leaders of BIS and E-Entropy.


Project Somnum is looking to raise $2m for 15.2% equity in the Company via an Offer Information Statement (OIS). The funds will be used for R&D, regulatory approvals, sales & marketing, production and working capital.
