Your Property, Our Expertise

From leasing to resident life, our end-to-end services are designed to optimise performance and foster connection across every asset we manage.

It’s an approach shaped by nearly three decades of experience, and a story that continues to evolve.

From Student Living, to Sector Leadership

Originating from the UniLodge brand and evolving alongside the residential living sector, UniLodge Living Group now encompasses six unique brands across student accommodation, build-to-rent (BTR), hotels and affordable housing.

While our foundations are in student accommodation across Australia and New Zealand, we’ve grown into a forward-thinking operator, redefining property management and creating vibrant communities where people truly thrive.

Tailored Solutions

We proudly deliver customised management and operational solutions that align with each property’s unique vision and potential.

From purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) and BTR to hospitality and affordable housing, our approach is grounded in operational excellence, customer-first service and deep sector insight. 

Success Built Through Lasting Partnerships

We partner with global private and public institutional investors, property developers, universities and education providers to deliver a proven approach to maximise commercial outcomes.

Our enduring partnerships are a reflection of our consistent performance, collaborative approach, and commitment to shared success. If you’re interested in exploring a potential partnership, we welcome the opportunity to connect.
