This new Canberra tower is turning the rental game on its head

The Oaks Canopy tower in Phillip is a contemporary multistorey development that has recently popped up on Canberra’s skyline.

However, you may be surprised to discover how uniquely different it is compared to other complexes across the city. 

Instead of buyers purchasing its apartments, Oaks Canopy is owned and operated by Amalgamated Property Group. The innovative development is its first build-to-rent (BTR) offering, intuitively designed to provide premium homes on secure leases for renters.

That’s a new home with a hotel-like concierge service at your fingertips, no less.

The 14-storey tower, a collaborative effort with Base Developments and Milin Builders, consists of 150 studio, one and two-bedroom apartments, impressive common areas and on-site services.  

Daniel Potts, development manager for Amalgamated, says Oaks Canopy is an exciting initiative that was more than five years in the making and is destined to change the concept of renting.

“We’re now able to offer quality rental apartments that match the quality of the units we have been delivering to market for over 20 years,” he says.

“We see great potential in what BTR can do to improve multi-unit living and better support the needs of renters.”

The stylish apartments, purpose-built for tenants, are quickly being snapped up with interest coming from a broad demographic, including defence personnel, health and government workers and people relocating from interstate. 

“The furnished apartments are proving popular, alongside a small number of short-stay apartments,” Potts reveals. “These will hopefully be useful for visiting family and friends as well as being attractive for corporate short-stays.”

Personalisation is key at Oaks Canopy. Future tenants are matched with an apartment that suits their requirements and budget.

They are given the flexibility to opt in for furniture packages or additional car parking and storage so you only pay for what you need.

Once you’re a resident, the service continues, with a concierge and on-site building manager available for maintenance requests, deliveries, and building or leasing queries.

When working from home, the innovative ground-floor business centre is a convenient (and luxurious) professional space, while the ground-floor cafe is an ideal spot for informal meetings or a coffee with friends and neighbours.

As part of the complex, residents can also access a children’s outdoor play area and entertaining spaces, including a sports lounge and garden pavilion. 

According to Amalgamated, Oaks Canopy aims to foster community and is designed for tenants seeking a bespoke rental experience and a stronger sense of security in their living situation.

The company says it is committed to ensuring a positive tenant-landlord relationship by leveraging its facilities arm, Amalgamated Facilities Group, to deliver prompt and effective maintenance services.
