Local Residential leads with the heart

Local Residential's inaugural BTR project in Kensington has confidently proven that best practices can thrive, even at the affordable end of the market.

In their first venture into BTR, this company has secured a 6-star green star rating for the project, a challenging achievement that underscores their commitment to excellence.

Moreover, they have demonstrated a profound social conscience. An impressive 10% of the housing stock in this development is dedicated to social housing, benefiting women over 55 at risk, key workers, and specialist disability accommodation. This inclusive strategy amidst a genuine housing crisis sets a benchmark. The company calls it Impact Housing; AAA calls it exceptional leadership.

As a result, Local Kensington by Local Residential was honored with the Di Ritter Pioneering category award at the Vic Apartment Awards for Excellence.

Additionally, the company received a special commendation in the Best Amenity category. Its extensive array of amenities, including an industrial kitchen, art room, Pilates studio, theatre room, workspace, gym, pool, and a relaxing residents lounge, offers a vibrant and engaging environment that enhances resident interaction.

The striking décor and charming features, such as letterboxes transformed into planters, created an ambiance that captivated the judges.

The judges look forward to the evolution of Local Residential.
