Canvas, an early mover into Build to Rent operations is one of Australia’s first specialist Build to Rent operators that takes an uncompromising approach to resident experience.
Canvas started operating its first Build to Rent asset in 2022 and has recently achieved a 93% Net Promoter Score (NPS) from its residents. NPS measures the loyalty of a company’s customer base, with a score of 70% considered excellent.
The NPS that Canvas achieved has resulted in high renewal rates, above market rents and residents feeling comfortable to report maintenance items within their apartment and building.
“The resident experience is fundamental to everything we do. Focusing on the resident not only gives our residents a unique and pleasurable renting experience, but it also generates positive performance results and maximises asset value for owners. Our onsite teams are key in delivering Canvas’s service expectations and we can see a direct correlation between the resident experience and the positive impact this has on the business and asset.”
Andrew Lee, Director of Operations, Canvas
With the increased interest and investment in the Australian Build to Rent market, it is critical to ensure residents are the key focus to deliver asset performance.
The Canvas management team have managed over 10,000 apartments and beds of institutional grade product across Australia, having successfully created and grown operational businesses in Build to Rent and other related industries including hotels, student accommodation, residential and retirement living.
Canvas provides operational management services and partners with owners throughout the full asset lifecycle, including Design & Development, Leasing and Mobilisation, Property Operations, Resident Experience and Strategic Asset Review.
