Topics discussed at the event included what recent federal and state policy announcements such as the Victorian Housing Statement and the lowering of the Managed Investment Trust (MIT) withholding tax rate for Build to Rent housing projects mean for the sector, and what’s needed next to support the long-term growth and potential of the asset class in Australia.

Sentinel is active in Victoria's Build to Rent market with a 172-apartment development, The Briscoe by Kinleaf, approaching completion at 151 Hawke Street in West Melbourne. It also recently announced the acquisition of a 6,528 square metre site for development at 23-47 Villiers Street in North Melbourne. Located in the heart of the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct, Sentinel plans to deliver and manage approximately 350 high-quality and sustainable rental apartments across two buildings on the site.

Sentinel currently has more than 1,600 Build to Rent units under various stages of development and operation throughout Australia and recently launched its Australian property management brand, Kinleaf.

The first phase of Sentinel’s Element 27 apartment community in Subiaco (Perth), WA

Sentinel began reviewing Build to Rent opportunities in Australia in 2012, establishing our Australian affiliate Sentinel Fund Manager Australia. Since that time, we have successfully completed and opened the first two phases of our Element 27 project in Subiaco (Perth), Western Australia. The first phase of Element 27 has been operational and tenanted since early 2019 – making it Australia’s first institutional Build to Rent community – and both phases are fully leased. Sentinel’s second Build to Rent project, The Briscoe, is located at 151 Hawke Street in West Melbourne and is due to open in the second half of 2023. Sentinel has also acquired sites for development in Scarborough (Perth), Western Australia; Robina (Gold Coast) in Queensland and Bowden (Adelaide), South Australia. Sentinel currently has more than 1,600 Build to Rent units under various stages of development and operation throughout Australia.
