The agreement is subject to conditions precedent, including planning and redesign, which will ensure the building delivers purpose-built, build-to-rent product.
The expansion into Melbourne follows the construction of Mirvac’s first purpose-built build-to-rent asset in Australia, at Mirvac’s Pavilions project at Sydney Olympic Park in NSW, due for completion in September 2020, with leasing to commence in June 2020.
Mirvac’s CEO & Managing Director, Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz, said, “Renting has become a lifestyle choice for a much wider group of people who want to be closer to work, and other lifestyle amenities. We believe build-to-rent can revolutionise the rental experience with improved choice, quality and security of tenure.
“Build-to-rent is one of the largest real estate asset classes in the world and entering into this asset class makes good business sense for Mirvac. It will deliver a secure and valuable revenue stream, as well as presenting us with a new and growing customer base. We are excited to drive the establishment of the build-to-rent sector in Australia, for which we see enormous potential over time.”
The Site was one of the future acquisition opportunities identified on pages 4 and 11 of the investor presentation released to the market on Wednesday, 29 May 2019.
