Hallmarc, a Victorian developer, has recently finished constructing its luxury Carnegie development; Beyoond Apartments, consisting of 50 build-to-rent apartments.
This apartment complex features a variety of fully furnished units including studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Beyond Apartments emphasizes a communal living experience with light-filled open courtyards, natural finishes, and green balconies. The property offers a range of amenities such as a gym, co-working space, and a lounge area that connects to barbecue facilities and extensive landscaped outdoor spaces. Alyssia Storey, Hallmarc’s director of marketing, highlighted that their build-to-rent model provides a boutique-sized, full-service offering that distinguishes it from other developments in the Melbourne market. “The appeal for residents is the stability of a purpose-built product, dedicated staff, the convenience of services and the flexibility to stay for as little or as long as you want,” Storey said.
In this project, KLAY brick slips were sought after for their longevity and ease of maintenance, which is a significant factor when developing a build to rent property – See our article Material Choices for the Build to Rent. Using brickslips in build to rent (BTR) properties provides numerous advantages for property management and overall appeal. Brickslips, thin sections of brick that mimic traditional brickwork without its weight and complexity, significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of BTR developments.
Their classic brick facade attracts potential tenants and buyers while being cost-effective, reducing labor costs and construction time. Brickslips offer design flexibility with various colors and textures, catering to different architectural styles and tenant preferences. Additionally, they are highly durable and require minimal maintenance, resisting weathering and staining over time. This durability not only preserves the property’s appearance but also contributes to long-term cost savings and tenant satisfaction. Brickslips also meet regulatory requirements in urban areas and enhance energy efficiency when paired with suitable backing materials. Overall, their low maintenance needs make brickslips an ideal choice for creating visually appealing, durable, and cost-efficient building exteriors in BTR developments.
Easy property management is essential for maximizing the benefits of build-to-rent developments. Selecting materials that have longevity and minimal to no maintenance regimes reduces operational costs and administrative burdens, which contributes to the long-term success and profitability of build-to-rent projects which is win owners and tenants.
