MODEL is a new, Australian build-to-rent (BTR) group with a purpose to cultivate places where there is no compromise between taking care of ourselves, each other, and the planet.
Built on the pillars of climate action, community building and design innovation, MODEL delivers thoughtfully designed, secure, connected, carbon neutral homes where health and wellbeing are at the core of the everyday experience.
