ASIC is investigating the Bathla Group. Bathla Group is a property company that entered administration in August.
The company owes at least $3.4 billion. The collapse stopped work on over 200 projects.
About 2000 homes are under construction. Another 13000 are planned but uncertain.
The regulator has not said what conduct it is looking at. ASIC is also looking at private lenders' role in the collapse.
This includes how billions of dollars were raised and whether investors lost money. The agency said it has not yet started a formal investigation into the lenders themselves.
Administrators have until September next year to finish their creditor report.
