Nature Based Cities for Developers
Choose to major in nature for your ESD requirements.
The price and rent premium for residential property co-located with green space is clear and growing, highlighting the opportunity for property developers and institutional property owners to drive commercial returns (as well as environmental and social value) by incorporating more green open space and trees.
In 2024, NBC commissioned Urbis to investigate the impact of an investment in green space and living landscape on capital growth as well as price and rental premiums in masterplan projects.
In master planned communities, park front apartments and houses achieve:
Average apartment price premium over the past decade
38%
Average house price premium over the past decade
19%
In Victoria, price premium achieved by infill masterplan communities
34% p.a
In NSW, price premium achieved by infill masterplan communities
