Almost 1 in 3 Australians rent and that number is on the rise. Whether renting or owning, there is a basic emotional need for security and safety in housing. Australians now have the opportunity to explore a third way – Build-To-Rent (BTR). Mirvac is leading the way with two BTR properties – LIV Indigo in Sydney and now LIV Munro in Melbourne – offering a new way. It provides the security of long-term leasing, ability to personalise apartments, bring pets and move to a new location with all energy-efficient white goods supplied. LIV Munro has been designed to connect people with each other. Located on the doorstep to the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne, Mirvac’s 490-apartment build to rent development welcomed its first residents in November 2022.

LIV Munro has been designed to attract renters keen to experience a new way of living. With a wide demographic mix of residents it ranges from first-time out-of-homers to workers across all career stages, downsizers and international relocations. Apartments range from studios, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom to 3-bedrooms with a high level of interest from single and 2-person households. Making life easy for residents with services and an on-site team 7 days a week gives residents the opportunity to spend more time on what they love doing, rather than their personal admin. For LIV Munro, and the new way of living, the appeal is not just in the walls and flooring, but in how residents can come together and will attract those who want to build a community with like-minded people and willing to live and rent in a new way.

LIV Munro was designed and purpose-built to ensure sustainability was at the core from the start. Critical to this was the ability for residents to live sustainably which is not available in many rental offerings.
