Australia’s property market is evolving – and smart advisors are evolving with it. With affordability under pressure and renters seeking community-focused, flexible living options, Co-Living has become one of the most exciting new asset classes in the investment space.
It’s not just investors taking notice – brokers, planners and wealth advisors are now adding Co-Living to their client conversations. Why? Because the returns are strong, the demand is real, and the model is built for the future of living.
Here’s why the smartest in the room are recommending Co-Living to their clients.
1. Strong Rental Yields and Consistent Demand
Co-Living investments are outperforming traditional housing in many growth corridors, particularly across South East Queensland and Victoria.
Purpose-built homes designed for multiple residents command premium rents per square metre, often delivering stronger overall yields than standard single-tenancy properties. And with the ongoing undersupply of affordable rentals, the demand for quality Co-Living spaces continues to grow.
For advisors, that translates to a reliable, high-performing asset class with long-term potential.
2. Addressing the Affordability Gap
Housing affordability remains one of Australia’s biggest challenges. Co-Living bridges that gap by providing private, self-contained spaces within shared, well-designed homes.
Tenants benefit from affordability and social connection, while investors enjoy consistent occupancy and a strong market appeal. It’s a practical solution to a real problem – and one that aligns perfectly with government and community priorities.
3. Designed for Modern Lifestyles
Forget the outdated idea of share houses. Today’s Co-Living properties are purpose-built for comfort, privacy, and convenience – complete with individual ensuites, private study nooks, shared living zones, and contemporary finishes.
They attract a wide demographic of tenants (from young professionals to essential workers) who value connection, location, and quality design.
At ALC, our designs combine liveability and performance to create spaces that not only look great but work beautifully for both tenants and investors.
4. Backed by Proven Delivery Partners
Recommending a new investment model is easy when there’s a trusted team behind it.

5. A Sustainable Approach to Living and Investment
Co-Living isn’t just about smart returns – it’s about smarter living.
Energy-efficient design, shared utilities and smaller environmental footprints make Co-Living homes more sustainable than traditional builds. And as more tenants and investors look for eco-conscious options, the long-term appeal only continues to grow.
For advisors looking to diversify client portfolios, Co-Living is ticking all the right boxes: strong yields, rising demand, and a product designed for the way Australians actually live today.
At ALC, we’re proud to be leading the delivery of Co-Living developments that balance financial performance with social and environmental impact.
