Local is an Australian Build-to-Rent start-up looking to re-shape the rental landscape.
First things first, Build-to-rent (BTR) is a new model that creates homes for the rental market where the buildings are owned by brands not individuals.
Melbourne is home to more than half of all the BTR projects completed in Australia in 2022.
So when Local, a new brand, backed by Macquarie Bank, decided to enter the market it needed to challenge both Australian’s legacy issues around renting and cut through a quickly cluttered market.
In a category designed for second class citizens, Local needed to create a uniquely aspirational rental brand when every other BTR brands are trying to own “the future of renting”?
Renting by its very definition perpetuates a power imbalance.
What we offer is more than just granting temporary possession. We want more than a transactional contract for using our property.
In fact, renting sounds like the opposite of what makes Local special.
If renting is toxic and every other BTR brand is trying to own ‘the future of renting’, then let’s not play that game.
We don’t just lease space, we create access.
We don’t regulate how people live, we enable community and belonging.
We don’t have tenants, we have members.
This is what living at Local promises.
Local would become a membership to the best of modern Australian living.
Inspired by life, diversity and the originality of the neighbourhoods we live in.
Designed to be the highest quality, sustainable homes to an eclectic community of sophisticated socially minded Australians.
