Is Build-To-Rent The Solution To The Australian Housing Crisis?

Australia’s housing crisis is intensifying — and construction productivity is under the spotlight. In this video, I break down Lendlease CEO Tony Lombardo’s insights on why productivity has been falling for decades, how cost blowouts and skills shortages are hurting the industry, and what role build-to-rent housing could play in easing rental pressures. From modular construction to AI adoption and apprenticeships, we explore the challenges and opportunities facing the sector.

I also dive into the government’s ambitious 2030 housing targets, tax changes to attract foreign capital, and the balancing act between housing, renewable energy, and data centre growth. Is build-to-rent really the solution Australia needs, or does it just serve big investors? Watch as I unpack the debate and what it means for renters, home buyers, and the future of Australian housing.
