About the awards

As Australia’s build-to-rent sector moves from momentum to maturity, The Urban Developer will convene industry leaders for a one-day summit in Melbourne to unpack the sector’s evolution, outlook and opportunity.

The Build-to-Rent Summit will explore the structural and cyclical forces shaping BTR in Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

The program features keynote presentations, project case studies and panel discussions spanning investment flows, capital structuring, project feasibility and operations. 

Attendees will gain insight into the realities of project delivery, planning constraints, operating performance and investor sentiment—along with a live conversation with Rory Hunter of MODEL, whose hotel-to-housing play is reimagining the renter experience.
