Haiku – The Macaulay is an inner-city build-to-rent community in Kensington, Victoria, delivered by Kapitol for Greystar. As one of Kapitol’s flagship mid rise developments, it brings together high-quality rental homes, generous communal spaces, and strong sustainability credentials.
Located in Kensington, just north-west of Melbourne’s CBD, Haiku – The Macaulay will deliver 447 rental homes ranging from studio to four-bedroom apartments.
Apartments are arranged around a large, green central courtyard that provides natural light, outlook and shared outdoor space for residents.
