What is Build to Rent?

Renting, but not
as you know it.

BTR homes are purpose-built for renters — not converted investment properties, not sold off-the-plan. The entire building, from design to management, is built around your experience as a resident. That means professional on-site teams, beautifully designed spaces, and no surprise landlord sales. Just a home you can actually settle into.

Australia now has 16,072 BTR homes operating nationally across 51 buildings — and the sector is growing fast. By end of 2026, over 21,000 homes will be available.

🔑

Security of tenure

Leases up to 5 years. No sudden landlord sales. Your home is yours for as long as you choose to stay.

🛠️

Fast maintenance

Dedicated building teams handle repairs quickly. No chasing tradespeople or waiting weeks for a response.

🏙️

Premium amenities

Gyms, rooftop pools, co-working spaces, concierge — all included in your building, not extra.

🤝

Real community

Resident events, social spaces and neighbours who chose this lifestyle too. BTR buildings foster genuine community.
