“Build-to-rent” typically involves a large-scale residential property that has been specifically designed, built, and managed as a single asset for long-term ownership and rental. “Build-to-rent” developments seek returns from long-term rental income, rather than up-front sales or capital growth, driving an increased focus on tenant experience and satisfaction. The model targets the growing renter market seeking secure long-term rentals with increased amenity.

As Australia continues to urbanize and inner-city land values increase, owning a house can suddenly become a more distant dream for many. Confronted with this reality, there is a new generation prepared to rent for longer to continue to access the lifestyle, location, and amenity-rich environment that they are attracted to, and that build-to-rent can provide.

Australia’s emerging build-to-rent sector is growing rapidly, with 40 projects that estimated 15,000 units worth over $10 million are currently in the pipeline, growing a massive 68% over 2020. Institutional investors too are hungry to invest in Build to Rent opportunities. With zero interest rates, Build to Rent offers income stability through economic and market downturns, potential portfolio diversification benefits, and enhanced risk-adjusted returns against other core sectors.
