    The Lowdown

    on Local

    We’re reshaping the way Australians think about housing. Living like a Local means having a space that’s all yours. To deadlift, decorate, design, dine, and dive. (Yes, dive. As in swimming pool dive. So, bring your blow-up unicorn.)

    Find your apartment

    What

    are we about?

    It’s not about walls, windows, doors and a roof, but what having your own home really means.

    Homes that well and truly feel like yours, with the option to sign a lease for up to 5 years. Splash the walls with colour. Raise a family. Snuggle your pets. Borrow a cup of sugar from your neighbour.

    To live and belong in, for as long as you like. Homes in well-connected places within thriving neighbourhoods.

    With top-notch amenities included, like private dining rooms, working from home spaces, wellness areas, and swimming pools. How good does that sound?

    Every element of a Local project, from top to bottom, is designed to improve the connection, comfort, and quality of the community in and around it. Now, and long into the future.

    So, what’s

    the plan?

    In a nutshell, the plan is to have at least 10000 apartments either built or in the works around Australia by 2030

    In a nutshell, the plan is to have over 10,000 apartments either built or in the works by 2030. This can’t come soon enough given Australia’s need for housing.

    Right now, we’ve got over 1,300 apartments close to completion in three great Melbourne neighbourhoods, Kensington, Box Hill and South Melbourne.

    We’re excited to become part of many great communities as we build opportunities for everyone to have a sustainable and impactful life.
