As raised by our Co-CEO Dan McLennan in conversation with Domain, part of Local: Residential's mission is to improve renting by offering high-quality, well-located homes—without adding pressure to housing availability. We focus on getting the simple things right, providing valuable features like gyms, working from home spaces, and smart storage solutions—all designed around what residents actually want, in neighbourhoods they want to live in.

We’re excited to have been recently featured in Domain, exploring how Melbourne’s Build-to-Rent (BTR) developments are reshaping the way Australians rent. At Local: Residential, we’re proud to be part of this shift—creating high-quality, long-term rental options that offer security and stability for those choosing to rent. BTR isn’t just about better buildings; it’s about improving the rental experience and providing a legitimate alternative to the private rental market. A big thank you to Domain and Aleesha Callahan for highlighting Local and our Co-CEO Dan McLennan. 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/guFV6V7E #BTR #FutureOfRenting #LiveLikeALocal
