In 2016, HomeCo's parent company, HMC Capital, acquired the Masters Home Improvement's holding company, Hydrox Holdings Pty Limited, for their property portfolio after its closure in 2016.[2][3][4] The $725m acquisition provided HMC Capital with more than 700,000sqm of large scale retail space.[3][5]

A subsidiary of HMC Capital, HomeCo Daily Needs REIT, was founded by HMC Capital in 2017.[6]

In October 2021, HomeCo's parent company, HMC Capital announced a $2.2 billion merger deal with Aventus Group.[7][8] The merger was completed in February 2022 and the Aventus Group was delisted from the ASX.[9][10]
