Foreign Capital Still Dominates BtR but Things are Changing

Foreign capital may be what drives the Australian property industry but for the build-to-rent sector, things are changing. 

Advisory firm Franklin St’s advisory head Edward Quinn told developers at The Urban Developer’s Build-To-Rent Summit in June that most  conversations around build-to-rent capital focused on institutions.

“What often gets missed is this: 22 per cent of the capital in our market right now is Australian and private, or alternatively, only 7 per cent of invested capital is from our own superannuation industry,” Quinn said.
