In this episode, we sit down with Rory Hunter, a visionary entrepreneur and CEO with a track record of building award-winning, sustainable property companies. Rory reflects on his journey, from his early career and the creation of Song Saa Private Island, to his latest venture, Model - a purpose-first Build to Rent (BTR) development group redefining what rental living can be.
Rory shares the ambitions behind Model and how its philosophy of climate action, community building, and design innovation seeks to dismantle outdated rental norms. We also dive into a new research report on sustainable BTR, exploring its benefits for both investors and residents, whether a rental premium exists, and what the industry needs to know as this asset class matures. Looking ahead, Rory offers his insights into the future of sustainable BTR in Australia and how it can deliver long-term value while meeting the growing demand for more climate-conscious living.
Rory Hunter is the founder and CEO of multiple award-winning, sustainable property companies. His latest venture, Model, is a purpose-first BTR group that puts sustainability and design at its core. A Harvard Business School graduate and World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, Rory has spoken at global forums including the G20 and Davos, and currently serves on the Property Council of Australia’s Sustainable Development Committee.
This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of sustainability, design and the future of rental housing. Tune in to hear Rory’s bold vision for how the industry can evolve, and why it matters now more than ever.
