Speaking to the publication, our President, Michael Streicker, shared his insights on Australia's rapidly growing Build to Rent sector and why it should be a top target for global institutional investors.

"Supportive demographic trends, increasing urbanisation and changing lifestyle preferences are likely to drive strong demand for rental housing [in Australia] for many years to come," said Mr. Streicker.

"When you look at the volume of institutional investment recently coming into the build-to-rent sector from overseas, it's clear there are a number of sophisticated investors that recognise the value of the product and are getting behind it. In support of this, we’ve certainly seen strong performance at our first operational Australian build-to-rent communities.

"Given Australia's long-term housing undersupply and the build-to-rent model's lack of reliance on residential pre-sales, we believe the sector is well-positioned to remain resilient and continue to perform through economic cycles."
