What is build to rent?

What is build to rent or BTR? It’s a new way of renting in Australia that will provide secure and long term rentals for tenants. It’s common internationally and now there is a lot of momentum for build to rent properties in Australia.

Build to rent properties are rental-only buildings. The whole property is home to people like you, people who want great locations with access to additional facilities and amenities for a busy and happy lifestyle. We also have onsite management so the whole process is streamlined, making it easier for you to sign up to a lease, move in and live your life.

Property experts are expecting the sector to grow to more than 7000 units in the next few years. Around Australia state governments are introducing planning arrangements to encourage build to rent properties. They want the developments because they recognise the buildings will make it easier for tenants to secure long term rental agreements while increasing the availability of rental apartments.

Under the proposed plans, one owner develops the building knowing it will be for long-term tenants. This means the developer builds it for residents, not for fast-turnaround buyers and sellers of properties. Our Essence Communities’ Sydney build to rent properties will be of high quality and made for residents.

Where are build to rent properties in Sydney?

The build to rent sector in Sydney is growing. The Australian Government announced changes to spur investment in the sector a few years ago, prompting many state governments to also introduce development incentives. The South Australian government has yet to announce any plans to encourage the new sector.

Many places across Sydney are desirable for renters, including the CBD, the city more broadly and suburbs such as North Sydney, Unley, Glenelg and Port Sydney.

Developers in the build to rent space hope to overcome some of the pitfalls of renting. With more units added to the number available across the city, a more streamlined and professional property management process, and better administration, Essence Communities rentals will be an easier and more pleasant process to rent.

As a renter, you can come and visit our Sydney rental apartments to inspect the both the building and the different forms of units. You can get to know the property manager and you won’t be dealing with a range of different people across an agency, as well as an owner who may or may not be easy to contact.

You can expect many benefits for renters Essence Communities’ build to rent properties launch in Sydney.

Why are Essence Communities the best Sydney apartments for rent?

Our rental apartments in Sydney will make renting more secure, flexible and give you as a tenant more control over how you live.

We understand the challenges of trying to find and secure an Sydney unit for rent. Some contracts have terms that are not favourable to renters and you might be forced into a short, six-monthly leases that create huge uncertainty about whether they will be continued. Some owners seek to hike the rent prices each term or without enough warning. These can be the downsides of renting in the private market.

But with Essence Communities’ build to rent options, these uncertainties go away. You can sign up to a longer-term lease that can continue for as long as you want. Perhaps your circumstances change, however, and you want to downsize to a one-bedroom apartment. You can do that within the building. Or maybe your family is growing and now you need a three-bedroom unit. With Essence Communities, you can do that, too, and still not have to leave your community.

When you rent your Sydney apartment with Essence Communities you will be able to come in and see our units and buildings and talk with the people there. We can assist you with our streamlined booking processes, as well as connect you will moving and other services to make the process as smooth as possible.

You can also invite people to a private dining area. Other on-site facilities will include amenities such as yoga or pilates studios, gyms, entertainment zones, pools and children’s play areas.

There is also space for your pet. Your bird, cat or dog can stay with you in what will be Sydney’s most pet-friendly rental apartment building. We can also help organise extra pet services, such as dog-washing, grooming or walking, in some areas.
