Affordable Housing & BTR Projects

Bluebird is devoted to providing social and affordable housing for the most vulnerable members of our community. We have strong alignment with local Community Housing Providers, who deliver homes for key workers and people on the social housing register.

Bluebird is intimately familiar with the Build to Rent (BTR) sector, continually working with a variety of BTR operators, who deliver purpose-built rental accommodation across Brisbane. These homes are contributing more much-needed housing to the market and pushing the design boundaries for this new asset class.

 

Here is a selection of the Affordable Housing and BTR Projects we have been involved with:

Cleveland Street, Stones Corner | Affordable & Social Housing
Brisbane Housing Company

Cleveland Street provides 82 affordable and social housing apartments over 10 levels and has been designed to capitalise on its location between the active high street on Logan Road and the recently upgraded Hanlon Park. The design creates a strong sense of community for residents, whilst adding to the surrounding dynamic and growing neighbourhood.
