About

What is build-to-rent?

Because build-to-rent homes are built specifically to rent, they offer secure, long-term leases and more predictable rents - which means the people and families who call them home have more certainty, greater rental stability and the confidence to invest in their communities long-term.

Enabling inclusive growth

Build-to-rent helps make more sustainable communities come to life

Build-to-rent housing helps people live closer to their jobs, education, health care and community services, reducing the strain of long commutes and rising rental costs. By giving renters more stable homes in the areas they rely on, build-to-rent supports stronger local workforces and helps essential services keep pace with community needs.

Boosting supply on the South Coast and in the Northern Rivers

Our build-to-rent housing projects on the South Coast and in the Northern Rivers will deliver around 110 new rental homes, including 60 apartments in Bomaderry and about 50 in East Lismore.

build-to-rent

What is build-to-rent housing?

NSW Build-to-rent housing is purpose-built rental housing designed to provide secure, long-term homes for renters, rather than for sale. These developments are usually managed by Community Housing Providers or specialist operators and are operated as long-term rental assets.

Why is Landcom delivering build-to-rent in regional NSW?

NSW Build-to-rent housing is purpose-built rental housing designed to provide secure, long-term homes for renters, rather than for sale. These developments are usually managed by Community Housing Providers or specialist operators and are operated as long-term rental assets.

Why is Landcom delivering build-to-rent for essential workers?

Essential workers like nurses, teachers, police, paramedics and other key workers are increasingly being priced out of areas close to where they work. Build-to-rent housing for essential workers provides secure, long-term homes at discounted rental rates, helping people live closer to their workplaces and supporting the services communities rely on every day.

Will Landcom deliver other build-to-rent projects?

Landcom will keep exploring opportunities to deliver build-to-rent housing where it meets local needs and supports NSW Government priorities. Future projects will depend on community demand, available land and partnership opportunities.

Who manages the build-to-rent properties and tenancies?

In metropolitan Sydney, the NSW Government will appoint a suitable operator to manage the buildings and tenancies. In regional areas, tenancies will usually be managed by a Community Housing Provider with experience supporting long-term renters.

Will build-to-rent projects include affordable housing?

Affordable housing is included in the current regional build-to-rent projects. Essential worker build-to-rent homes in metropolitan Sydney will be offered at a discount to market rent through a separate subsidy program. Additional affordable housing may be included in future build-to-rent projects where it meets community needs.
