Could land lease communities be one of the solutions for Australia’s housing affordability crisis?

They’ve become an increasingly sought after option for retirees. Some 130,000 people are living in these estates and the $12 billion sector having been described as the fastest growing solution for downsizers in Australia.

But what exactly is a land lease community, what are the pros and cons of buying into them, how much growth is likely in this sector and why is it rising on the radar of local and offshore institutions and developers?

We explore this with Kate Melrose from the Ingenia Communities Group alongside CBRE’s Liam Greentree and Kat Hale in our latest Talking Property podcast.

We also discuss CBRE’s inaugural residential valuers survey, which shines a light on the ever-pressing need for more affordable housing options in Australia.

They give us their views on the best property market opportunities this year and the areas ripe for transformation.

Funding constraints, rising interest rates and downward pressure on asset pricing have been key property market themes in 2023.

But what does the future hold? Will 2024 be a turning point – particularly for the office sector? Will debt funding be more readily available? And will investors increasingly look at new capital structures to drive their property investment strategies?

We unpack this and more in our latest Talking Property episode featuring CBRE’s Australian head of Offie and Capital Markets Research Tom Broderick, the Pacific head of CBRE’s Debt & Structured Finance team Andrew McCasker and CBRE’s Pacific head of Investment Banking Paul Ryan.

While there’s broad agreement on some of the longer-term tailwinds for the Australian real estate market, conviction is still lacking when it comes to the strength of future rent growth, exit values and in some cases the regulatory environment.

That’s one of the areas up for discussion in our quarterly Talking Property: The House View podcast, which explores the opportunities and challenges ahead for the retail, office, industrial and living sectors.

Tune in to hear CBRE’s Pacific Advisory Services CEO Phil Rowland Pacific Head of Research Sameer Chopra give their take on fresh interest in the retail investment market, the ongoing gap between office fundamentals and sentiment, the unprecedented demand conditions and supply side challenges in the residential market and whether occupier demand is beginning to moderate in the industrial sector.

By 2100, some 10 billion people will live in around 10,000 cities across the globe. Just in Australia, our population is tipped to rise by 15 million people over the next 36 years.

So how do we accommodate this growth, deal with the current housing shortage, continue to decarbonise, harness the power of AI and manage the long-term impacts of the pandemic?

These issues were centre stage at the Property Council of Australia’s Future Cities Summit, which was headlined by one of the world’s leading urbanists, Professor Greg Clark.

He joins us on Talking Property alongside CBRE’s NSW Director of Government & Industry Ash Nicholson to discuss how we can make our cities liveable, loveable and prosperous.

There are positive signals for the Australian real estate sector. Inflation is showing signs of moderating, interest rates appear to have peaked, employment remains resilient and cap rate expansion seems to be topping out. All of this is flowing through to improving investor sentiment.

But we’re still in a very volatile and uncertain geopolitical environment and China’s economic woes are heightening.

So, what does this mean for real estate? Find out in this latest episode of Talking Property: The House View as CBRE’s Phil Rowland, Pacific Advisory Services CEO, and Sameer Chopra, Pacific Head of Research, chat about pricing, investor intentions, the vacancy outlook, cost of living pressures, and some of their key predictions.
