The case for build-to-rent housing in Malaysia

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: A steady increase in property prices over an extended period of time has put home purchasing beyond the reach of many.

To this end, developers are expected to cash in by offering more build-to-rent (BTR) properties in the market, according to industry stakeholders.

The BTR concept is still relatively new in Malaysia but its potential as a growing segment of the property market is not lost on developers.

UEM Sunrise Bhd CEO Sufian Abdullah said changing lifestyles and appetites in the local market could also drive the growth of BTR.
