Times are changing here in Australia, and no more so than in the property market. The once vaunted quarter acre block and white picket fence are quickly becoming a distant memory. More and more buyers are wanting to be close to the city where they work and play, and this has seen a shift in the property being offered by developers. This page is dedicated to reviewing those projects and providing my insight, backed by decades in the property industry, to allow you to make an informed decision.

Victoria Gardens – Built to Rent

Melbourne developer Salta Properties has been given the green light for a $390 million five-tower project in Melbourne’s Richmond featuring build-to-rent apartments.

Yarra council approved the 426-apartment project, spanning a 14,000sq m site which sits adjacent to the developer’s Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre.

The property group has plans for a build-to-rent model, rather than for-sale, offering a mix of one, two and three bedrooms.

I have been writing for months now about my annoyance at the state and federal governments interfering with the free market economy we all know and love when it comes to property and finance. It is my belief that nothing they have done have improved the climate, and in many cases they have fueled the fires when it comes to housing affordability.

Big Australia Equals Big Opportunity

For the past 18 months I have been writing about my concerns around the governments interference with the investment property space. It was apparent to me that making it harder and harder to attain finance, less and less appealing from a tax benefit perspective, and killing the Golden Goose (foreign investment) was going to create massive housing issues in the future.
