Australia needs fresh housing solutions to tackle our entrenched housing crisis. Backed by our majority owners, AustralianSuper and HESTA – two of Australia’s largest superannuation funds - we are delivering new homes and providing better and more diverse housing choices for renters and homebuyers right across the country.  Our approach sees us design new housing investment models which will create a better, fairer housing system – and one that cares for the people and places within it. As a Certified B Corp, we’re part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact. We’ve introduced innovative ways to support people to achieve home ownership. Backed by AustralianSuper, our purchase pathway (known as build-to-rent-to-own) fixes the rent and purchase price of our homes for five years, enabling our residents to experience living in their homes whilst they save to buy - without the housing market racing away from them. We have completed two projects under our purchase pathway – 38 Albermarle Street, and 15 Thompson Street in Kensington – with further projects currently in construction. We also know the Australian housing rental market also needs innovation. Backed by HESTA, we’re also delivering social, affordable, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and mid-market-rate rental housing (build-to-rent), where residents can start putting down roots. Our first project, 402 Macaulay Road in Kensington, is due for completion in 2025.
