Many build-to-rent (BTR) developments and purpose-built rental communities owned by institutional investors are emerging in Australian markets. These developments aim to provide steady and reliable rental income, with homes managed by professionals situated in highly sought-after locations. The demand for co-living spaces, which cater to young professionals, digital nomads, and students seeking affordable and flexible living arrangements, along with purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), is on the rise.

In Sydney, many institutional developers are shifting their focus from commercial projects to residential and industrial sectors, with build-to-rent, co-living, and student accommodation emerging as prominent areas of interest. However, in New South Wales, much of the activity revolves around ongoing government-led projects in hospitals, schools, and infrastructure. Weak residential construction demand has been widespread across New Zealand’s markets, but strong migration-led population growth is expected to support residential construction demand starting in the coming years.
