OVERVIEW

The Oaks Canopy project in Canberra is the first standalone build-to-rent (BTR) project in the state. BTR addresses the growing demand for quality rental housing while offering stability and security through long-term rental contracts. This provides tenants with the assurance that traditional rentals often lack which is particularly appealing to those who may be relocating for work in Australia’s capital. The 14-storey building with 156-units has a project budget of over $40 million.

SCOPE DELIVERED 

BSE was engaged by the developer, Amalgamated Property Group, and then novated to Allstar Electrical to provide electrical design services for the Oaks Canopy.

PROJECT RESULTS

One of the first tenants, Georgie, mentioned in an article from Riotact that the reason that the Oaks Canopy stood out to her was “the whole build-to-rent community, and there’s that extra security, the comfort, the benefit of the incredible amenities, with all of these extra things that I don’t have to worry about, it’s what I was looking for.”
