Sydney, Australia 16 June 2025: Pro-invest Group announces a joint venture with Japanese leading construction and real estate firm Kajima to develop a new generation of ground-up Build-to-Rent (BTR) properties in Australia. The partnership aims to address the nation's escalating housing crisis, with Australia currently experiencing its most severe housing shortage in decades thanks to population growth and an undersupply of homes.

Dr. Sabine Schaffer, Co-CEO of Pro-invest Group, joins Spencer Levy and Stuart McCann on CBRE’s The Weekly Take podcast to discuss why co-living is gaining traction as a flexible, scalable solution for urban housing.

At Pro-invest Group, our commitment to transparency, accountability, and measurable ESG impact continues to guide everything we do. We’re proud to share the release of our FYE2024 Annual Sustainability Report, showcasing the progress we’ve made across our hotel portfolio and corporate operations.

Pro-invest Group has achieved GreenKey certification for nine Australian hotels under its management, marking a new milestone in its sustainability journey.

Pro-invest Group Deputy Chair and CEO APAC, Jan Smits, spoke exclusively to HM about opportunity in the co-living segment, sustainability targets, key investments and more.

Our Co-Founder Sabine Schaffer is quoted in this story from Hospitality Investor about how to bridge the gap between hospitality and residential. As we approach the launch of our new flex living brand, it’s clear that flex-living is ready to transform the hospitality investment landscape.
