Welcome to a New Lease of Life, a sub-series of the devcast…podcast, where you’ll be learning how experts of the BTR, PRS, student accommodation and retirement living sectors climbed the ladder of their professionals. Hosted by Nick Hammond, Head of Build to Rent at deverellsmith, our guest in the studio this episode is Christian Grahame, Head of HOME, Australia’s leading creator operator of apartment communities exclusively for rent. Prior to being part of the team that established HOME in 2017, he was the National head of Apartments for a major listed Australian developer, working on award-winning residential and mixed-use urban renewal projects in Australia and the UK. He is a pioneer in the Australian BTR sector and is currently Chair of the Property Council of Australia’s ‘National BTR Roundtable’. Passionate about customer experience, the built environment, and the difference the property industry makes in our communities, he sat down to discuss how he became one of the first trailblazers within the Australian BTR industry and the opportunities and challenges he came across on his journey.
