From operating data to investment strategy, new benchmarking brings sharper clarity to BTR performance
For years, build-to-rent has expanded across Australia without a consistent, institutional-grade benchmark to measure how assets are truly performing.
In this webinar, MSCI head of private assets research, Pacific, Ben Martin Henry joins The Urban Developer to discuss MSCI’s inaugural Australian BTR performance index—unpacking how the index was constructed, what the data reveals about operating expenditure (Opex) and how these insights are being applied to inform capital allocation, underwriting and asset optimisation.
The conversation will consider what more robust benchmarking means for the future of BTR in Australia, and will include a live audience Q&A to explore how these insights translate into strategy and delivery on the ground.
As the dataset evolves, the conversation will consider what more robust benchmarking means for the future of BTR in Australia—alongside a live audience Q&A to interrogate how these insights translate into strategy and delivery.
