Hyundai Engineering & Construction is broadening its overseas real estate development ventures with a major Sydney project. On September 22, the company announced a KRW 350 billion investment in a 45-story apartment building with 260 units in Chatswood, northern Sydney. The property will follow a build-to-rent model, designed for rental rather than individual sales.
Situated near a major commercial district and a subway station, the development aims to cater to local residents and international migrants. Hyundai E&C has been involved since the early stages, providing equity and overseeing technical and design reviews, as well as overall construction management. The project follows a memorandum of understanding signed in February by Hyundai E&C, KIND, and Korea Investment Real Asset Management.
Australia's housing market, driven by population growth and supply constraints, has attracted residential developers, with Sydney expected to see an influx of overseas migrants. Industry analysts note a shift in Korean construction firms towards investment, development, and asset management, with Hyundai E&C focusing on assessing housing demand and market conditions in overseas markets to build local expertise and networks.
