Ex-Grocon duo to lead Macquarie’s $500m build to rent platform

Grocon’s former head of development, Dan McLennan, and former Grocon transactions manager Matthew Berg will spearhead Macquarie’s push to create a $500 million build-to-rent portfolio on behalf of institutional investors in the burgeoning sector.
