Are you ready for your next move and to be part of the ever-growing Build to Rent momentum? If you are passionate about creating resident-centric experiences, bringing joy into the workplace and fostering connections in a thriving community – this role might be for you! 
  
What is Build-to-Rent (BTR)? 

The build to rent model in Australia is a new way of renting that offers long-term security and flexible leases, with more options for tenants. Under build to rent Australia, one organisation owns the entire building and the rental units are leased individually. This single-ownership model allows secure rental terms for residents while accessing the benefits of professional property management. BTR offers a premium experience to residents, with leasing flexibility, an easy move-in process, on-site management and an inclusion offer of a range of services and facilities to make your apartment your home (such as a gym, entertainment areas, outdoor dining and a pool to name a few!).
