Build-to-rent in Australia: Elevated opportunities as barriers clear
Australia’s build-to-rent (BTR) sector has undergone a period of rapid growth over the last couple of years. While to date the majority of projects have involved domestic participants, recent policy developments have set the scene for further global participation. Sector fundamentals are also improving, with robust expectations for rental growth and overseas migration in the near term. These factors point to a further acceleration within the sector and a strengthening of the development pipeline. In this webinar, we will discuss the Australian BTR sector’s place in the global market, the impact of recent policy changes, and the implications of broader residential market conditions.

Build-to-rent in Australia: lift-off for a developing investment class
An immature asset class to date, the Australian residential build-to-rent (BTR) sector is currently undergoing a period of rapid growth. A pipeline of around 10,000 units is expected to commence over 2022 and 2023, with most mooted developments located in Victoria. Modest performance and heightened cash flow risks in other property asset classes, alongside supportive state government legislative shifts and a tightening rental market are providing significant tailwinds.
