We exist to create communities where people truly belong – combining hospitality-led thinking, operational excellence, and human-centred design to deliver exceptional resident experiences and strong performance outcomes for our partners.

Introducing the Asset – 50 Quay:
  
50 Quay is a landmark Build-to-Rent community that is redefining modern rental living in Brisbane. Comprising 475 premium residences in a prime riverfront location, the asset seamlessly blends high-quality homes with exceptional lifestyle amenities and thoughtfully curated resident experiences.

• Build and manage a strong pipeline of prospective residents, converting enquiries into new leases and renewals.
• Monitor market trends and leasing performance to identify opportunities that improve leasing outcomes and business performance.
• Lead and support the Leasing Agent(s), ensuring customer service, leasing operations, reporting, and compliance standards are consistently achieved.

Our team at Essence Communities are seeking a strategic and commercially minded leasing professional with a passion for delivering exceptional resident experiences.
