Land Lease Communities Summit

partnership opportunities

From emerging sector to scalable housing model

Australia’s land lease sector has undergone a remarkable transformation.

Once considered a niche alternative to traditional retirement living, land lease is increasingly attracting major developers, institutional investors and sophisticated operators seeking exposure to strong demographic demand, recurring income and Australia’s growing need for more diverse housing options.

The 2026 Summit demonstrated the breadth of this emerging ecosystem, bringing together operators and developers alongside institutional capital including Brookfield Asset Management, Morgan Stanley, Macquarie Asset Management, Invesco Real Estate and Mirvac.

The opportunity is significant, but so are the challenges.

The Land Lease Communities Summit 2027 is where the entire ecosystem comes together to address these challenges.

Not simply to discuss the future of the sector. But to help build it.
