Insights into Build-to-Rent 2022

Australian property developers are investing into the build-to-rent sector to address the shortage of rental properties. However, just looking to design and deliver a code-minimum product, with a few added amenity bells and whistles, will not deliver reliable, long-term returns.

Hannah Morton, Associate and lead author of Cundall’s build-to-rent best practice guide ‘Reimagining The Future of Home,’ joins Keith Lucas, Managing Director, Sentinel, and Peter Smith, Senior Development Manager, Local, to discuss the importance of embedding environmental sustainability within BTR design, specification and operations. Failing to do so creates the risk of high operational costs including tenant churn.

Hannah will highlight the sustainability megatrends that are shaping our urban realm and the buildings we design and deliver. These include climate action, circular economy, health and wellbeing, and biodiversity.
