What is build to rent?

What is build to rent? This is a new renting model for Australia where tenants have more security over their stay. Under the build to rent model, the entire building is for renters and there is professional central management.

Build to rent models are common internationally, including in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is only a new phenomenon in Australia, but recent changes brought about from the Australian Government and state governments are spurring its development. Governments  have recognised the housing model, occasionally referred to as multi-family housing, can be better for renters because they have more control over their lease and can have the security of a long-term rental apartment in Canberra.

Under build to rent the whole rental property is owned by one owner and professionally managed. The units for rent were built to be rented long-term, not to be sold as soon as possible. This means they are made with liveability in mind first.

Build to rent in Canberra will offer a new way of living for renters, who can take advantage of better leasing terms and conditions for their home.

Where do I find build to rent properties in Canberra?

Build to rent Canberra apartments are being developed over the next few years. There is a development planned for build to rent in Braddon, and a site in Amaroo.

Essence Communities are seeking to find the best sites in Canberra for renters. This could include apartments for rent in Canberra city, Canberra CBD units, apartments for rent near ANU and the Canberra Hospital, South Canberra, Tuggeranong, Griffith, Reid and Barton. These are among the best places to live in Canberra.

Renting with Essence Communities makes it easy to find a furnished apartment for rent, a one-bedroom apartment for rent, or a two-bedroom apartment for rent. All include contemporary fittings and fixtures, as well as modern appliances such as fridges, freezers, washing machines and dishwashers.

The build to rent model overcomes the difficulties of renting: rents increased significantly and suddenly, short leases causing stress about renewals, and the repetitive and time-consuming search for a rental unit that takes up all your weekend time.

Renting with Essence Communities means you can secure your long-term apartment for rent, move in efficiently, and stay for as long as it suits your lifestyle.
