At Sentinel's flagship Build to Rent community, Element 27, a series of artworks by Perth-based artists were recently unveiled as part of the development’s arts program – which aims to celebrate local artists and makers, while engaging the resident community. Element 27 is part of Sentinel's Kinleaf portfolio and opened in Subiaco (Perth), WA in 2019.

Featured in the lobby of 12 Wunderlich Road, the vibrant and engaging array of artworks, by artists Sandra Black, Susan Flavell and Andrew Nicholls, are inspired by the history of the location, which was previously home to the Australian Fine China porcelain manufacturing factory (formerly known as H.L. Brisbane and Wunderlich Ltd., and the Calyx Porcelain and Paint Company). The artworks celebrate the buoyant aesthetic sensibility of the ceramics that were produced on the site for 85 years.

As Sentinel's Managing Director in Australia, Keith Lucas, observed "The Australian Fine China factory produced many unique and outstanding examples of Australian ceramic wares throughout its lifespan and it’s wonderful to be able to pay tribute to and thread some of this rich history back into the community. It’s also fantastic to have another opportunity to collaborate with and celebrate local Perth artists."

The unveiling of this unique series marks the third instalment of Element 27's arts program, which has previously drawn from the area’s porcelain manufacturing legacy. One of the driving concepts behind the development of the Kinleaf brand has been this concept of community engagement and respect for local legacies.

Australian artist and curator Andrew Nicholls said, "Sandra, Susan and I have all engaged with the legacy of Australian Fine China, Brisbane and Wunderlich, and Wembley Ware throughout our careers. We were very excited by the opportunity to return to this research and create a new collection of artworks to reflect its historical significance in a visually engaging way at Element 27."

In an earlier stage of the program, a large artwork projection titled "Porcelain: Changing Views" was created by local Perth artist Sohan Ariel Hayes. This artwork was also inspired by the cultural contributions of the Australian Fine China factory and was projected on one of the apartment buildings at Element 27 for residents and members of the local community to view at an evening event, accompanied by a custom-composed soundscape that was performed live and complimentary refreshments.

More recently, award-winning local Perth artist Ross Potter was welcomed to Element 27 for a six-month residency. Ross facilitated a number of workshops and open studio events for residents and the wider community during his time at the precinct.

A selection of the collection of artworks by Sandra Black, Susan Flavell and Andrew Nicholls can be viewed below.

Andrew Nicholls

Andrew Nicholls and his work, Mid-Century Cake Stand, 2023

Repurposed Wembley Ware and metal components, 53 x 23 x 28 cm

"This work comprises repurposed Wembley Ware ceramics created on this site between 1946-1961. Its comical appearance alludes to the highly-whimsical style of Wembley Ware, and its intentionally-ambiguous relationship to functionality; due to high taxes on purely decorative ceramics during the post-war era, many Wembley Ware designs were given a superficial purpose, (for example, as 'posy vases' or 'ashtrays'), despite being largely ornamental, so as to sit at a lower price point. Hence this work is a tiered 'cake stand' that would not actually be practical for cakes." Andrew Nicholls, 2023

Sandra Black

Sandra Black and her works:

Bennett's Mallee Vase, 2023

Slip-cast pink and white porcelain, clear glaze and recycled Australian Fine China decals by Philippa Nikulinsky, 38.5cm H x 10cm W

Candy Orchid Vase, 2023

Slip-cast yellow and white porcelain, clear glaze and recycled Australian Fine China decals by Philippa Nikulinsky, 32.4cm H x 10cm W

Donkey Orchid Vase, 2023

Slip-cast green and white porcelain, clear glaze & AFC recycled decals by Philippa Nikulinsky, 32.8cm H x 10cm W

"These vases are a homage to the colourful Wembley Ware range of mid-20th century homeware designs. The floral decals are a tribute to former Australian Fine China designer Phillipa Nikulinsky’s depictions of rare and endangered Western Australian wildflowers." Sandra Black, 2023

Susan Flavell

Susan Flavell and her work, Kookaburra on Plinth, 2023

Cardboard, paper, recycled drawings, MDF box, paint, assorted metal leaf, glue, satin varnish, 140 x 32.3 x 26 cm

Susan Flavell has created a mixed-media sculpture based on the iconic Wembley Ware Kookaburra Garden Ornament, and paying tribute to the many other Kookaburra-themed ceramics produced at this site throughout the twentieth century. These include the AB Webb-inspired Calyx Kookaburra dinner service from the early days of the factory during the 1920s, various mid-century Wembley Ware ashtrays, and the True Blue kookaburra plate produced by Australian Fine China during the early 2000s.

Flavell describes this sculpture as "An irreverent, humorous work that plays with ideas of monuments". It was created in response to her bronze Kookaburra sculpture (2003), commissioned for the Subi Centro precinct development, which sits at the end of Laurino Terrace, a five-minute walk from Element 27.

Factory Backstamps

Factory Backstamps, Sandra Black, Susan Flavell & Andrew Nicholls, 2023

Lightbox installation (mixed media), each 61 x 61 cm

The windows facing on to Darbon Crescent illuminate at night to reveal four of the most iconic backstamps that adorned ceramic homewares produced on this site throughout the 20th century, in the pastel tones synonymous with mid-20th century design. Calyx, Western Australia's first commercial ceramics range, was produced here from 1921-1938. However the factory struggled during the depression and second World War, until H.L. Brisbane and Wunderlich Ltd. purchased the site, renaming it Bristile China in 1945. Their iconic 'Wembley Ware' range of 'fancywares' dominated Australia's ceramics industry from 1946-1961, when the factory decided to shift its focus to vitrified crockery for the hospitality market. In 1992 the business rebranded again as Australian Fine China, operating from this site until its closure in 2006, when production shifted offshore.

Kinleaf debuts with two fully-leased Build to Rent properties in Subiaco (Perth), WA

Sentinel has announced Kinleaf, a dedicated property management brand for our Build to Rent apartment communities in Australia.

Kinleaf logo

Kinleaf's offering will provide Australians with a premium and sustainable rental experience. Each apartment community is thoughtfully designed for the modern Australian renter and offers a refined living experience focused on convenience, community and sustainability.

Kinleaf will be rolled out across existing and future communities in Sentinel's Australian Build to Rent portfolio, which currently contains more than 1,300 units under various stages of development and operation.

Michael Streicker, President of Sentinel Real Estate Corporation said: "The launch of Kinleaf marks the next stage of Sentinel's growth in Australia. We’re proud to have been the first organisation to establish a purpose-built institutional Build to Rent community here in 2019 and introduce Australians to a new way of renting. Now, our focus is on continuing to grow a national portfolio of premium and well-located rental communities that deliver greater housing choices for more Australians and strong, long-term returns for investors. This will be enhanced by Kinleaf's clearly defined and tailored offering.

"Kinleaf's offering is grounded in providing a living experience that is focused on the renter, prioritises sustainability outcomes, and supports the creation of vibrant and engaged communities. Our experienced on-site management and maintenance teams, streamlined leasing process, and thoughtfully curated lifestyle and wellness amenities are just some of the ways we’re delivering an overall more refined rental experience," said Mr Streicker.

Michael Streicker

Sentinel President, Michael Streicker, surveys the Melbourne skyline from the rooftop of The Briscoe, which will be Kinleaf’s third operational Build to Rent development in Australia.

Kinleaf will continue the high standard of living and service delivered by Sentinel at its existing operational Build to Rent communities in Australia. This includes consistent, high-quality finishes and fixtures within each Kinleaf building; full energy-efficient appliance packages provided in all apartments, a wide variety of apartment floor plans available to suit different renter needs, and a pet-friendly approach.

Each Kinleaf community will target a range of leading sustainability benchmarks for the Australian built environment including carbon neutral certification, a minimum 5 Star Green Star rating, and a minimum 8-Star average NatHERS (Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) rating. Initiatives to increase the environmental performance of communities will include solar energy and rainwater reuse strategies, electric vehicle charging stations, the selection of high-quality and durable materials with certified low environmental impacts, and enhanced waste management strategies. A range of resident education initiatives will be facilitated by on-site management teams to increase understanding among residents of the green systems available to them in their buildings and encourage participation.

To sustain a vibrant and engaged community, a number of opportunities for meaningful engagement and community-building will also be facilitated by the Kinleaf team – including the hosting of regular social events and activities for residents. Furthermore, Kinleaf communities are designed and operated to be more accessible to residents with different needs, both within and beyond the apartment walls.

In line with the launch of Kinleaf, Sentinel's 172-apartment Build to Rent community in West Melbourne will be named The Briscoe by Kinleaf. Our operational Element 27 Build to Rent apartment community in Subiaco, Perth, will also see its name evolve to The Elements by Kinleaf later this year.

In January this year, we announced the acquisition of a 1.4-hectare site for development in Robina on the Gold Coast. Sentinel plans to deliver approximately 300 premium rental apartments on the site, which will also be developed and managed under the Kinleaf brand.

Element 27 Phase 2 exterior

Numerous sustainable initiatives led to Phase 2 of Element 27 receiving a 5 Star Rating, including the rooftop photovoltaic system seen here.

Phase 2 of Sentinel's Element 27 Build to Rent apartment community in Subiaco (Perth), Western Australia, has successfully achieved a 5 Star Green Star Design & As Built v1.3 certified rating from the Green Building Council of Australia.

The 5 Star Green Star certified rating represents Australian Excellence, demonstrating that the project has achieved a high standard of design and efficiency in construction, and verifying the environmental and social outcomes Sentinel set out to achieve.

Founded by the Green Building Council of Australia in 2003, Green Star is an internationally recognised rating system developed for the Australian environment that sets the standard for healthy, resilient, positive buildings and places.

Keith Lucas, Managing Director of Sentinel in Australia, said "We're committed to delivering high quality and sustainable Built to Rent communities in Australia that prioritise environmental performance and provide our residents with an opportunity to live greener. Having these commitments recognised by the Green Building Council of Australia is key to showcasing our focus on bringing more sustainable housing choices to the market."

Key sustainability features at Element 27 include electric car charging stations, a 30kW photovoltaic system for common area energy usage, a rainwater and grey-water recycling system, specialty waste streams, access to a centralised geothermal system, energy-efficient appliances and a leading 8-star NatHERS rating.

In 2021, Phase 1 of Element 27 also achieved its status as the first Carbon Neutral Certified apartment building in Australia, following Sentinel’s close work with the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), Climate Active and Stantec's Sustainability team to pioneer a certification methodology for the Build to Rent model that acknowledges the sector’s unique potential for ongoing energy leadership in the residential sector.

Sentinel currently has more than 1,300 Build to Rent units under various stages of development throughout Australia. Read more about our Australian Build to Rent Projects and our Sustainability achievements.

Sentinel has recently welcomed local Perth artist Ross Potter to its Element 27 Build to Rent development in Subiaco (Perth) for a six-month residency.

This residency marks the second instalment of Element 27's ongoing arts program, which aims to celebrate local artists and makers, while engaging the precinct's residents and wider community.

Ross' artwork highlights environmental preservation in Western Australia and animals native to the land, with well-known works including the life-size sketch of Perth Zoo's iconic elephant Tricia for Fremantle Arts Centre. Since his first solo exhibition in 2011, Ross has worked as a full-time artist with various residencies across the state, including the prestigious Cossack Art Award in 2019 and at Fremantle Arts Centre in 2020.

As a part of his residency, Ross has already run a number of interactive drawing workshops for Element 27 residents and members of the local community, as well as a special open studio night to provide residents with more insight into his latest series of works.

"It's fantastic to be a part of Element 27's public art program and have Sentinel's support," said the artist. "I'm looking forward to completing a number of new artworks during my residency and continuing to engage with residents and the local community in the process."

During his time at Element 27, Ross is creating a series of works reflecting on his recent journey to Barrow Island, which is located off the Pilbara coast in Western Australia. These large-scale graphite drawings will depict some of the remote island's unique landscape and rare fauna, including the Perentie.

"Ross is a very talented artist and we're delighted to support his work by hosting him in residency at Element 27, as part of the precinct's broader community arts program," said Keith Lucas, Managing Director of Sentinel in Australia.

"We’re proud to collaborate with members of Perth's local arts community and are committed to supporting initiatives that enhance social and cultural connections within and around our vibrant apartment communities."

The first instalment of Element 27's community arts program launched earlier this year in May, featuring a large artwork projection on the façade of an apartment building, titled "Porcelain: Changing Views". Created by local Perth artist Sohan Ariel Hayes, residents and the local community were invited to view the captivating projection installation at an evening event. The artwork was inspired by the cultural contributions of the Australian Fine China factory in Subiaco, which previously operated on the site of Element 27 for 85 years.

The first two phases of Element 27 are both open and fully operational, with the first phase 100 per cent leased and the second phase approaching fully leased status since opening in early 2022. Read more about our Australian Build to Rent Projects.

Sentinel's Element 27 Build to Rent apartment community in Subiaco (Perth), Western Australia, has successfully achieved carbon neutral certification for a second consecutive year under the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard for Buildings.

In 2021, Element 27 officially achieved its status as the first Carbon Neutral Certified apartment building in Australia, following Sentinel's close work with the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), Climate Active and Stantec's Sustainability team to pioneer a certification methodology for the Build to Rent model that acknowledges the sector's unique potential for ongoing energy leadership in the residential sector.

In line with the carbon neutral recertification milestone, Western Australia's Hon. Reece Whitby MLA, Minister for Environment; Climate Action discussed with the Sentinel team how its Build to Rent model and industry-leading sustainability strategies can pave the way for future residential developments in the state.

"We encourage West Australians to embrace innovative ways of sustainable living, to reduce our carbon footprint," said Minister Whitby.

"It's great to see Sentinel's commitment to smart housing choices, and we'd love to see more developers taking up greener solutions in the future."

To achieve carbon neutral recertification, Element 27 has maintained numerous sustainable operations throughout the past year, targeting enhanced water and energy conservation, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and utilising Australian-based carbon credits.

Key sustainability features at Element 27 include electric car charging stations, a 30kW photovoltaic system for common area energy usage, a rainwater and grey-water recycling system, specialty waste streams, access to a centralised geothermal system, energy efficient appliances, occupancy sensors, an embedded metering network and a leading 8-star NatHERS rating.

Keith Lucas, Managing Director of Sentinel in Australia said: "We're proud to see Element 27 maintain its carbon neutral status from Climate Active. Not only is the building a great example of how the Build to Rent model can offer Australians enhanced housing choices and an opportunity to live greener, but it has also created a critical pathway that will allow more residential buildings to target ongoing carbon neutral outcomes.

"As our Build to Rent pipeline expands across Australia, we remain committed to pursuing industry-leading sustainability targets and helping set new benchmarks for energy performance in the housing sector," said Mr Lucas.

Sentinel currently has more than 1,300 Build to Rent units under various stages of development throughout Australia. This includes The Briscoe, a 172-unit apartment building in Melbourne which is scheduled for completion in March 2023 and similarly designed to achieve carbon neutral certification.

Element 27, Sentinel's flagship Build to Rent apartment community in Subiaco, WA, which was the first purpose-built BTR apartment building operating in Australia

Sentinel and Dutch pension fund manager PGGM have today announced a new partnership to develop and manage up to A$1.5 billion in Build to Rent communities throughout Australia.

PGGM's first investment tranche opens up a pipeline of over A$700 million in initial development potential for the venture. The partnership aims to develop a national portfolio of approximately 2,500 Build to Rent units, with the first two sites for development already confirmed. Sentinel, through its vertically integrated platform, will provide investment management, development management and property management services to the partnership.

Michael Streicker, President of Sentinel, said: "Sentinel is proud to expand our partnership with PGGM into the Australian market. Their commitment to this venture is a clear vote of confidence in our Build to Rent platform and the future of the sector in Australia.

"We're committed to continuing to deliver high quality, sustainable and community-focused living that enhances the housing choices available to Australians. This is particularly important at a time where changes in the housing market and supply levels are front of mind for so many," said Mr. Streicker.

Jikke de Wit, Senior Director Private Real Estate of PGGM said: "We are excited to expand our relationship with Sentinel into the Australian Build to Rent market. Although the sector is still relatively small, we believe that it will grow over time and become an important part of the Australian housing market.

"Sentinel is a longtime partner of PGGM in the US and we are confident their expertise will help us build a new portfolio of high quality, low carbon apartment communities. The sustainability of this investment contributes to our client PFZW's long-term ambition to align their real estate investments with the Paris Climate Agreement," said Ms. de Wit.

The partnership will leverage Sentinel's 50 years' global multifamily experience and its decade-long endeavour to establish an Australian Build to Rent sector. In 2019, Sentinel delivered Element 27, Australia's first ever purpose-built institutional Build to Rent community, located in Subiaco, Western Australia. In 2021, the first phase of Element 27 became the first apartment building in Australia to be Carbon Neutral Certified under the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard for Buildings.

Element 27 Outdoor Art Event

Recently Phase 2 of Sentinel’s flagship project in Australia, Element 27 in Subiaco, opened and to celebrate the expansion of the community Sentinel has launched an arts program highlighting the area’s rich heritage and vibrant community.

The first installment of the art series, called “Porcelain: Changing Views”, was an artwork projection installation on Element 27’s façade and was on display the evenings of May third and fourth. Element 27 residents and the local community were able to enjoy the captivating projection art, created by local Perth artist Sohan Ariel Hayes. The projection occurred on permanent decorative screens on the building façade, which were created by Freemantle-based artist Anne Neil.

The projection artwork themes were selected to evoke the cultural contributions of the Australian Fine China factory, which operated on the site for 85 years, producing china and porcelain. The art speaks to the processes of moulding, firing and decorating porcelain objects, and the final three-part projection display represents form, fire and brush. It was accompanied by a soundscape of music written specifically for the event by the composers Thea Rossen and Jared Yapp, and performed live by Adlib Collective.

"It is important to us that we contribute meaningfully to the communities we are a part of, which is why we are so pleased to celebrate the opening of Phase 2 Element 27 with this performance," said Michael Streicker, President of Sentinel Real Estate Corporation. "As well as sharing the inspiration of the precinct’s history with the wider community, the art piece speaks to the heart of our Build to Rent concept – community building and a positive sense of place for our residents."

Beyond community events like the art performance, residents at both phases of Element 27 have access to a variety of amenities, such as luxurious pools with cabanas and sundecks, rooftop lounges with native landscaping and panoramic views, grilling stations, media/social rooms with coffee bars and a state-of-the-art fitness centre and movement studio. Apartment options include studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments that feature premium appliance packages, spacious patios and balconies, floor to ceiling windows, and thoughtfully designed interior spaces, in the leafy and well-connected Subiaco area. Phase 1 of Element 27 was the first certified carbon neutral apartment building in Australia and Phase 2 has similar goals of sustainability.

"Build to Rent is quickly growing in popularity amongst Australians who are attracted to the strong sense of community, premium rental experience, sustainable design and abundant amenities the model can offer," said Mr. Streicker. "We have already had strong leasing activity for Phase 2 of Element 27, with more than a third of the units already leased in the short time since completion."

With the completion of Phase 2, Sentinel is moving forward to its final phase of the Element 27 Build to Rent development. Phase 3 will be a 16,061 square metre, five storey residential apartment building, comprised of 91 new apartments, with studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom options.

Over 550 square metres of communal open space will be created, including a large resident garden on the Ground Floor and 225 square metres of landscaped amenities on the rooftop, which will also feature a pool deck. The project’s design continues the development’s unique building approach to sustainability, with the building targeting an 8-Star NatHERS rating.

Recently Nick Stein, Managing Director and Chair of Sentinel’s ESG Committee, authored an article for the Spring 2022 issue of NAREIM Dialogues. In the piece, he discusses our holistic approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives and the opportunities and challenges presented in defining ESG goals and programs for a national platform in an environment that lacks national standardization. Highlighted are many of our ESG success stories and goals, in particular our properties that have achieved certification through the Institute of Real Estate Management’s (IREM) Certified Sustainable Property (CSP) Program and the success of our flagship property in Australia, Element 27, becoming the first multi-family property in that country to achieve Carbon Neutral certification.

Sentinel Real Estate has announced two exciting new appointments to its Australian team, Anthony Cuzzupi and Owen Altham. The extensive expertise in construction and development from both new appointments will support the delivery of Sentinel’s anticipated $1 billion Australian development pipeline in the coming years.

In Melbourne, Anthony Cuzzupi joins Sentinel as Project Director, managing the development of Sentinel’s projects in the Eastern States from inception through approval, construction, and delivery. Previously Cuzzupi managed his own property consultancy practice and served as Project Director for JW Land and Senior Development Manager for Urban Regeneration at Lendlease in Melbourne.

Sentinel’s new Development Manager based in Perth, Owen Altham will be playing a key role in the development of Sentinel’s upcoming Build to Rent tower in Scarborough as well as the delivery of Phases II and III of Sentinel’s flagship Australian Build to Rent project, Element 27, in Subiaco, WA. As a former Project Manager at APP Corporation Pty Ltd, Altham formerly consulted for Sentinel and is uniquely familiar with both the company’s projects and the local Perth market.

Keith Lucas, Managing Director of Sentinel Fund Manager Australia, said: "Anthony and Owen's development management expertise are incredibly valuable to the strength of our Australian pipeline. Their robust experience and knowledge of their local markets are bolstering our team’s ability to deliver premium Build to Rent projects across Australia as demand for the emerging model continues to flourish."

Also helping steer Sentinel’s Australian expansion is Ninghao Ho now based in Sydney. In addition to ten successful years directing the company’s Singapore team, Ho also brings the benefit of his experience in Sentinel’s New York corporate headquarters.

The bolstering of Sentinel’s existing Australia-based team follows Keith Lucas’ promotion to Managing Director and relocation to Australia from New York in 2020.

Sentinel’s current Australian pipeline includes 3 additional sites: Phase 3 at Element 27 in Subiaco, Perth, 164 Roden Street in West Melbourne, Victoria, and 194 West Coast Highway in Scarborough, Perth. The Build to Rent specialist’s flagship property, Element 27, was recently appointed the first carbon-neutral apartment building in Australia under the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard for Buildings.

The appointments have received coverage in the news:
