In July 2024, online retail in Australia reached a total of $4.1 billion, a substantial increase from $1.7 billion in July 2019. Online retail now represents 11.7% of all retail sales, up from 6.3% in July 2019. This nearly 2.5-fold growth over five years, largely driven by the pandemic, underscores the transformative shift in consumer behaviour towards online shopping.   As our cities continue to grow vertically to accommodate significant population increases, it is crucial that our building designs evolve to support the escalating demand for online retail. This involves not only providing adequate storage and locker systems, both temperature-controlled and otherwise, but also addressing the rising pressure on our recycling and waste management services.   According to the ABS, food sales now represent approximately 30% of total online sales.   How is your development adapting to these changes? Explore how Franklin St. can assist you in designing BTR projects that meet the evolving needs of modern urban living.    Understand the BTR Equation at www.franklinst.com.au Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics | Franklin St. #BTR #BuildtoRent #Retail

Resido Build to Rent, by Kiwi Property – Auckland. Franklin St. recently had the privilege of touring New Zealand’s largest Build to Rent (BTR) project, Resido, developed by Kiwi Property. Located next to Sylvia Park Shopping Centre, just a 20-minute train ride from Auckland CBD, this project represents a significant leap forward for the NZ BTR market. Resido features 295 purposely designed BTR units (studios, 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments) and offers residents premium amenities including a gym, co-working lounge, communal spaces, and a rooftop terrace— designed by i2C Architects. This development demonstrates how Australian shopping centres can leverage surrounding land to diversify income streams, increase foot traffic, and drive rental growth. Franklin St. believes this mixed-use model will play a pivotal role in shaping the Australian BTR market in the years to come. #BuildToRent #BTR #Development
