Sentinel has progressed construction of its Build to Rent development at 164-168 Roden Street in West Melbourne. The 172-apartment project, designed by renowned Melbourne architects Rothelowman and being delivered by Crema Constructions, has completed foundation works as the new structure rises within the historic heritage façade.

As the Build to Rent sector grows in Australia, this is Sentinel’s first Build to Rent project in Victoria, following the success of its Element 27 property in Perth. Completed in 2019, Element 27 is Australia’s first purpose-built Build to Rent development and Phase 1 is 100 per cent occupied, while Phase 2 has recently begun offering units at a time when Perth is seeing a dramatic shortage in quality housing options.
