Build To Rent (BTR)

As National Director | Build to Rent my objective is to support clients to participate in emerging opportunities derived from the significant growth of this alternative residential asset class. 

Drawing on my  25+ years of real estate industry experience -  spanning agency, research, analytics and consulting - I work with colleagues across Australia, who are local market experts, to deliver opportunities, practical solutions and innovative strategies across the nascent Build to Rent and associated alternative living sectors. I support clients to enter and grow their presence in the Australian BTR market.

My understanding of demand, supply, policy and industry factors relating to the spectrum of new residential markets (BTR, apartments, urban regeneration, greenfields) underpins my reputation as a trusted strategic advisor to leaders in the  residential  development and real estate investment industries. 

I utilise my deep industry and market knowledge and connections to extend the reach of Colliers  across the increasingly complex mainstream and emerging residential market segments.
