Kiwi Property today announced it had signed a deal with leading Australian flexible
accommodation provider, Urban Rest, to rent 12% of the new Resido build-to -rent

development at Sylvia Park.


Urban Rest will occupy and manage 34 of Resido’s 295 apartments and make them

available to the friends and family of Resido residents, as well as corporate clients

seeking accommodation in Auckland. The agreement will remain in place for at least

the next three years, with the option of a two-year extension.


Kiwi Property Chief Executive Officer, Clive Mackenzie, said the Urban Rest deal

highlighted Resido’s appeal and placed the development in a strong position ahead of

its scheduled opening in May 2024.


“We’re counting down to the launch of Resido and are looking forward to bringing

large-scale build-to -rent to the New Zealand market. The complex features a fantastic

range of services and amenities and is ideally located next to Sylvia Park.


“It’s great to be working with Urban Rest on this exciting partnership, enabling even

more customers to enjoy the Resido experience while securing guaranteed rental

income for 12% of the property.”


David Whelan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Urban Rest, said Sylvia Park was

an exciting addition to the company’s portfolio of apartments, houses, and boutique

hotels.


“As Urban Rest's first venture into the New Zealand market, we see tremendous

potential here, especially given the strong corporate demand for accommodations in

Auckland.


“We’re looking forward to expanding our New Zealand footprint with the inclusion of

Sylvia Park. The development is ideally located in the geographical center of Auckland

and easily accessible by train, bus, or road. With Sylvia Park and its range of shopping

and entertainment options right next door, we believe customers will love staying at this

property.”
