Experts Unpack Benefits of Build-to-Rent, Co-Living
The Urban Developer’s co-living and build-to-rent vSummit is Australia’s first online conference dedicated to the emerging institutional residential sector.
Around many parts of the globe, co-living and build-to-rent properties have offered a flexible lifestyle choice for residents and a compelling investment opportunity for investors.
As property markets continue to experience volatility in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, both resident and investor appetite is changing.
Low yields, coupled with demand for stable returns, is spurring greater institutional interest in alternative sectors that tap into residential accommodation.
So what does the future hold for co-living and build-to-rent real estate in Australia?
Join us as we bring together a global panel of experts, operators, developers, financiers and designers to unpack the latest in research and perspective.
This is a unique opportunity for professionals directly involved in the sector, along with those adjacent to it, to better understand the sector’s future.
