Australians have long dreamed of a house on a quarter-acre block, but housing challenges are shifting the traditional Australian dream. Ben and Marie Doyle from Fiducia join the podcast to discuss why apartments and medium-density housing are becoming an increasingly important part of our country’s housing future. They unpack the realities of delivering successful apartment projects, from feasibility and financial viability to planning approvals, zoning challenges, and balancing buyer expectations with construction costs.
Good density isn't simply about building more homes - it's about creating communities, improving liveability, and designing places where people genuinely want to live. We look at how the industry can rebuild trust in multi-residential construction, what developers and builders often underestimate when entering the apartment market, and why more builders may need to understand development opportunities as housing demand continues to grow.
People want a smaller footprint where they live. There's more of a travel mentality among younger people, and the older generation are downsizing for flexibility.Marie Doyle
