Located in the heart of the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct, Sentinel plans to deliver and manage approximately 350 high-quality and sustainable rental apartments across two buildings on the inner-city site, which will be managed under the Kinleaf brand on completion.

The new apartment community will target carbon neutral certification and a 5-Star Green Star rating from the Green Building Council of Australia, in keeping with other developments delivered to date by Sentinel in Australia. It will follow the delivery of 172 rental apartments at The Briscoe by Kinleaf in West Melbourne, which is scheduled to open later this year.

Keith Lucas, Sentinel's Managing Director in Australia said: "This is a meaningful opportunity to deliver a significant boost in housing choice for the area that will support the rapidly growing health and education precinct and more broadly, Melbourne's housing needs.

"We're looking forward to leveraging our experienced and established Build to Rent platform to transform this well-located inner-city site into a vibrant and sustainable community with high-quality rental apartments, a wide range of resident amenities, and a professionally managed rental experience," said Mr Lucas.

23-47 Villiers Street is strategically located in a world-class health, research, technology, education and innovation precinct, which has received A$2.8 billion of investment over the past 10 years and is currently home to around 49,000 employees, according to Victorian Government research. The site is in immediate proximity to Australia's largest hospital precinct including The Royal Melbourne Hospital, The Royal Women's Hospital and The Royal Children’s Hospital; as well as the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, The University of Melbourne, North Melbourne Primary School and Royal Park.

The site has excellent connectivity to the Melbourne CBD and surrounding suburbs with tram and bus services located less than a five-minute walk away, and the new Parkville Train Station located within 400 metres. The Parkville Train Station will provide convenient access to the CBD, North Melbourne's Arden Precinct, suburban Melbourne and the proposed Melbourne Airport Rail Link. It is currently under construction with completion expected in 2025.
