Exciting news – HESTA is a partner in the newly merged Assemble, whose innovative investment model can help us aim to deliver strong and stable long-term returns to members while helping meet Australia’s huge need for affordable and secure housing. This is the latest evolution of HESTA’s work in affordable housing investment over several years as part of our Super with impact™ approach. Previously we’ve invested in apartment projects in Brunswick and Ballarat with work underway since September 2023 on a build-to-rent apartment project in Melbourne’s inner west. The Kensington project is set to deliver 362 mixed-tenure dwellings – affordable, social, market-rate, and specialist disability – on the doorstep of critical public transport links and near Melbourne’s major hospitals. Many of our incredible members provide critical health and community services and often work shifts. They need access to secure, affordable housing near their workplaces and public transport. Australia’s housing gap is a challenge needing collaboration across all stakeholders, and a significant allocation of private capital. Assemble’s platform aims to help break down some of these barriers for investment by helping to build a strong and diverse pipeline of housing investment opportunities that aim to deliver the long-term, stable returns investors are seeking.

The Build-to-Rent Advantage What if your investment could transform a community, creating jobs, stimulating local businesses, and generating wealth? At Landvest Capital, our build-to-rent developments are doing just that. We’re not just building homes; we’re igniting economic growth in the communities we serve. Build-to-rent properties are a powerful engine for local economies. By creating attractive, well-planned communities, we draw in residents who support local shops, restaurants, and services. This influx of new consumers helps small businesses thrive, contributing to a vibrant local economy. Moreover, the construction and maintenance of these properties create jobs, from skilled trades to property management positions, providing stable employment opportunities for local residents. The economic benefits extend beyond immediate job creation and consumer spending. Our projects often spur further development and investment in the area. As communities grow and improve, they become magnets for additional real estate projects, new businesses, and infrastructure upgrades. This creates a positive feedback loop of growth and prosperity that benefits everyone involved. Landvest Capital’s focus on sustainable and community-oriented development ensures that our projects have a lasting positive impact. We integrate green spaces, recreational facilities, and other amenities that enhance the quality of life for residents, making our communities more desirable places to live. This not only helps attract and retain tenants but also boosts property values and economic stability in the area. We also work closely with local governments and organizations to ensure our developments align with broader community goals. This collaborative approach helps us address local needs and priorities, whether it’s affordable housing, environmental sustainability, or economic revitalization. By fostering strong partnerships, we ensure that our projects are beneficial for both investors and the communities they serve. Investing in build-to-rent properties with Landvest Capital means more than just financial returns; it’s an opportunity to make a tangible difference in local communities. Our developments drive economic growth, create jobs, and enhance the quality of life for residents, all while offering robust investment opportunities. If you’re looking for an investment that combines strong returns with meaningful community impact, let’s connect. Join us at Landvest Capital and be a part of a movement that’s transforming real estate and local economies for the better. #RealEstateInvestment, #BuildToRent, #SustainableDevelopment, #LandAcquisition, #CommunityDevelopment, #InvestmentOpportunity

Working under the banner of regenerative real estate and impact development, I’ve found that success comes when you’re able to marry the right business model with the target impact. This is supported by a capital stack that enables the project, rewards investors, and delivers multidimensional returns to the community. It’s been a learning journey over the last decade into the world of finance which is what makes it so fun. There is endless creativity to play in that sandbox, from traditional capital to philanthropic and blended finance, to Private Equity and community based financing. I’m now delving into Opportunity Zones after having found ourselves working on the Marrowstone Inn project that is in an OZ. I tracked OZ’s when they first came out, but legislation has changed since then. If you’re unfamiliar with them, they are designated areas that counties have selected to incentivize investment. It has several huge benefits including the ability for someone to forgo a 1031 Exchange or to sell assets without having to pay capital gains. Those gains can be put into an OZ project and if the property is held for at least 10 years, then at sale the basis steps up meaning that there won’t be ANY capital gains tax in addition to a 15% reduction in the original capital gains tax obligation that was rolled in. If you’ve been tracking OZ funds, this isn’t anything new. But what I didn’t know is that not only will there not be any capital gains tax at the sale, but there also isn’t any depreciation recapture  . The cherry on the top is that you can invest into an OZ project, create value in the project, and get the initial investment back tax and penalty free after 24-36 months when the project refinances out the construction loan. This is unbelievable to me. When there is so much pressure in the private equity world to sell within short time frames to generate competitive returns, this mechanism enables competitive returns, allows partners to be invested over the long term, and creates opportunities for investors to get their initial money back in shorter timeframes while still receiving long term cash flow and equity that is tax free. Drop me a line if you’re interested learning more about how to leverage this tool and are interested in impact investing that strengthens communities and builds ecological resiliency. #impactinvesting #opportunityzones #regenerativerealestate #regenerativedevelopment #regenerativefinance
