Key Investment Insights Across the Living Sectors

 

The Investment Case for Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA)

Australia’s PBSA market combines the demand profile of a mature market with the supply depth of an emerging one. With record-high occupancy, double-digit rent growth, and significant global capital targeting the sector, discover why PBSA offers a resilient and high-performing addition to any institutional portfolio.

Multifamily Communities: Australia’s Build-to-Rent (BTR) Sector

Policy reforms and strong demand fundamentals have thrust BTR into the institutional spotlight. With the Living sector now the most targeted commercial real estate sector in APAC, this report considers the USD $100 billion potential of BTR in Australia, the formation of scalable platforms, and the competitive yields driving institutional investment.

Perspectives on Australia’s Retirement Living Sector

Australia’s demographic shift is creating unprecedented demand for Retirement Living products, with the over-65 population set to double by 2063. New supply is meeting less than 20% of current need and national occupancy is at 96%, with political parties united in their recognition of the need for the sector to grow. This report unpacks the compelling case for investment and market entry strategies.
