Pacific Gateway, is a 21-unit integrated build-to-rent development located at Glendale Lake Macquarie that marks a new milestone for innovation in affordable housing. Completed in December 2019, it is the first project completed under the NSW Government’s Communities Plus program. Clever use of the Affordable Rental Housing SEPP, efficient design and construction outcomes, and leveraging of long-term finance under the NHFIC scheme has resulted in this entire development providing support to very low, low and moderate-income households. Strong interest from renters eligible for affordable housing, appealing design and location saw all units fully occupied within two weeks of release.
