About Mi Corp
James and Sarah Mort have over 25 years experience each in the property industry in Australia. In 2006
they established Mi Corp Property, based at Mission Beach in Far North Queensland. James’ career in
property development has specialised in construction and design in the Melbourne property market.
Sarah is a qualified Town Planner working many years as a Project Manager in the property industry
based in Sydney.
With their complementary skills and extensive experience in property development they saw this as an ideal opportunity to be part of the sea-change phenomena and head north and develop projects that they could both express their passion for the Australian outdoor beach lifestyle in the tropics.
James and Sarah’s design philosophy for Mission Beach is that it has huge opportunity to become one of the few places in the world to live in harmony with nature and the environment. Being blessed by missing out on the rampant development which overtook Cairns and Port Douglas in the 1980s and 1990s, the saviour of a truly magical part of the world, means that the next level of growth has to be managed well – we need developments that work in harmony with the surrounding environs of coast, beach and world heritage-listed rainforest. With the level of interest in MiCorp’s projects from both Australia and overseas it has provided MiCorp with the understanding that “Green” is the new luxury and highly sought after and remoteness and space is the key to experiencing the natural environment. Mission Beach has been the focus of unparalleled levels of investment in recent times; sparking speculation it is set to become the new “green” prestige destination for Far North Queensland.
