About

Paulette Mirzikinian — Founder, Circle8

Paulette Mirzikinian — Founder, Circle8

Paulette Mirzikinian spent over 20 years working across property, design, construction and development services before she ever called it her business. Long enough to notice a pattern: Trusted and valued relationships are the foundation and the deals that went well were never really about who could do the job. They were about who trusted whom, and how long that trust had been building before anyone sat down to talk terms.

So Circle8 was founded on the belief that if you could connect the most trusted people in the industry and start a conversation you could possibly create a collaboration of opportunity, teams and the action to move them forward to very successful outcomes.

What We Do

Strategic Collaboration

Circle8 is a strategic development and project collaboration partner operating across property, development, design, construction, and project sales. Because when trust comes first, better projects follow.

From the first conversation through to delivery, Circle8 stays present — offering help, support and clear communication throughout. Good people alone don't guarantee a smooth delivery; projects often stall when time pressure collapses communication and the thread between teams breaks, creating delays and undermining the impression a project leaves behind. That's the gap Circle8 is built to close.

01

Strategic Development Collaboration

Every engagement is anchored in positioning your business with the right stakeholders from the start — creating alignment, influence and transparency where it strategically counts the most.

02

Relationship-Driven Influence

The network is built on long-term trust, credibility, and genuine industry relationships. It's not just about opening doors — it's ensuring the right people are in the room.

03

Commercial Insight

We understand both the creative, commercial, and market realities of development and project positioning — combining relationship intelligence with commercial rigour.

More than a consultancy, Circle8 acts as a strategic development and project partner — extending your project presence, influence, and market positioning with authority and clarity.
