What is build to rent?

What is build to rent or BTR? Put simply, the build to rent model in Australia offers tenants long-term security and secure terms for their rental agreements. It is increasingly popular, with experts in the property industry tipping more than 7000 units will be available within a few years.

In the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe the model is well established and growing. In the US, the model is often called a multi-family development. Now, governments in Australia are also encouraging the development of build to rent properties to provide stable and secure accommodation. Essence Communities will be one of the major operators of build to rent.

The build to rent model in Australia will mean one owner develops the property, which will operate under a single management structure. It’s in the best interest of the owner and manager to make the rental apartments the best units in Melbourne to attract long-term residents. We know this is not always the way in the private market, where different owners have all the different units in the building.

Essence Communities is also focused on delivering great services to make our apartments the best apartments in Melbourne.

Where are Melbourne’s build to rent communities?

Build to rent in Melbourne is an emerging field. The Victorian Government recently announced changes in their Budget to encourage the sector, and affordable, secure rental communities for tenants.

There are developments in the planning for rental apartments in Melbourne for build to rent in Caulfield East, Brunswick, West Melbourne, Northbank, Kensington, South Yarra and South Melbourne.

Together we are trying to overcome the challenges of private rentals. This increase in available units for rent, as well as the improved processes of Essence Communities’ build to rent, will make it better for tenants.

When you sign up to Essence Communities’ build to rent, you will be able to visit the property, check out multiple types of apartments at the time, and see all the facilities. You will be speaking with the property manager, so you won’t have to wait or go back and forward between an intermediary.

What makes Essence Communities’ build to rent the best rental apartments in Melbourne?

We understand that finding a rental property in Melbourne can be difficult. There can be limited flexibility with leasing terms, you may not be able to secure a long-term lease, or the rents may be hiked a lot without warning. The process to rent a unit in Melbourne itself can be a hassle, with multiple inspections at very specific times.

You won’t get this at Essence Communities in Melbourne. Our streamlined booking process is facilitated through our on-site manager. It is also made easier because of the services we can help you organise. We can connect you with movers, packers and other services to make your life easier.

At our rental-only buildings we include a range of community services to boost your lifestyle. These include yoga or pilates rooms, gyms, entertainment zones, pools and children’s play areas. There are barbeques and outdoor dining zones, and private entertaining areas you can book to have friends and family around.

And you can have a pet! Keep your beloved fur or feathered baby with you, with approval from management. At some sites we can arrange extra services such as dog-grooming or walking.

For your next studio apartment in Melbourne, or your next three-bedroom unit for long-term rental, make Essence Communities your new home.
