Build To Rent in Australia: What is a build to rent scheme?

WHAT IS BUILD TO RENT: Build to Rent describes the process by which residential properties are purpose built for the private rental sector.

In most cases, Build To Rent  is done by large property development companies, investors and commercial landlords. Build To Rent refers to a residential development in which all apartments are owned by the developer, often a managed investment trust, a listed property developer, a property fund, a bank or pensions company and managed by a professional property management company, and leased out to tenants.

Build To Rent is opposed to the common build-to-sell method, where a developer builds a residential development and sells the apartments to individuals to either live in or rent out as an investment. Build to rent is part of a growing institutionalised housing market and is particularly attractive for institutions, both local, international and sovereign funds that want reliable, steady income as well as exposure to the residential property market.

Build To Rent in Australia is set to rapidly grow, with companies like Mirvac already involved in Build To Rent in Sydney.
