Strategic consulting service Global Apartment Advisors (GAA) Living and independent Australian property advisory firm Charter Keck Cramer are sharing expertise to support the growth and evolution of the Australasian Living Sector market.
Together, GAA Living and Charter Keck Cramer can proactively support better decision-making and delivery by drawing on their complementary strengths. They bring forward tried and tested Build-to-Rent solutions from around the world while applying their collective experience in navigating complex challenges and scenarios. By drawing on global best practices in design and long-term sustainability, they can help ensure Living Sector assets are tailored to local market needs while delivering meaningful outcomes for stakeholders.
As a well-established advisor in the Australian market, Charter Keck Cramer has built an extensive international client network with diverse and specialist needs. A key part of its approach is promoting international best practices and generating thought leadership, complementing the broad range of property advisory services it already delivers. GAA Living provide detailed, tailored advice and support specific to Living Sector and related residential assets, drawing on its wealth of international experience to introduce global insights and best practices into the Australian and surrounding markets.
Together, the firms are able to independently support clients across the full transaction lifecycle, including strategic development input, accommodation identification, corporate property strategy, feasibility and investment analysis, transaction structuring, asset optimisation, property acquisition management, and operational support.
David Woodward, CEO, GAA Living, comments: “Over 10 years ago, some of our first clients were Australian, and we have been connected to the market ever since. Charter Keck Cramer is the leading advisory firm in one of the hottest BTR markets and it has been a pleasure connecting with their team of experts to provide BTR-specific thought leadership and guidance for their network. We are proud of this collaboration and its impact. Charter Keck Cramer’s local knowledge and access to clients, along with our deep technical BTR expertise, can add value for investors, developers and the communities they serve for many years to come.”
Richard Temlett, National Executive Director, Charter Keck Cramer, comments: “We’ve seen growing demand for advice across the Living Sector, as new investors enter the market and existing clients recognise its potential. GAA Living can offer the industry access to global expertise and international best practice, supporting those at the start of their BTR journey. Our Precisely Property podcast has been a great knowledge sharing platform, featuring GAA Living experts and demonstrating how knowledge sharing can benefit the industry.”
