Indi Sydney: a fresh chapter in Sydney's housing story

Indi Sydney has been featured in The Sydney Morning Herald as part of journalist Julie Power’s ongoing series exploring apartment life.

As Build to Rent (BTR) continues to gain momentum across Australia, apartment living is fast becoming the new Australian dream – and a fresh chapter in Sydney’s housing story, offering flexibility, community, and lifestyle in a way that traditional housing models often can’t.

Indi Sydney, developed by Investa on behalf of Oxford Properties Group, is a purpose-built BTR community located above Gadigal Station in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. Designed by Bates Smart, the building responds to the growing demand for high-quality, well-connected homes while contributing to greater housing diversity in the city.

The strong leasing uptake at Indi Sydney reflects what today’s discerning renters value: flexible lease terms, security of tenure, the ability to personalise their space, and a genuine sense of community. Residents also enjoy access to premium, hotel-style amenities – including a heated indoor pool, rooftop dining and entertaining terrace, co-working spaces, a fully equipped gym, yoga room, and more.

Indi Sydney resident Jo puts it best: “I am never moving out. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. It is like living in a resort.

“I don’t see it as rent. I’m paying for a lifestyle. I’d rather pay more because I don’t need a gym membership, I have beautiful facilities, and I don’t have to leave. I can have lunch or a drink on the rooftop, looking out across the harbour.”
