By leveraging local and global experience and data-driven insights, WT empowers developers, investors and stakeholders to create the high-quality, future-ready housing that communities need and markets value.
Urbanisation, population growth and shifting lifestyle preferences are driving demand for diverse housing solutions. The current shortage of affordable and available housing is putting extreme pressure on communities, policy-makers, developers and the building industry. Rising construction costs, labour shortages, regulatory hurdles and sustainability requirements add even more complexity to the residential sector.
However, emerging technologies and sustainable building practices present new opportunities. Sustainable housing is becoming the new standard, with a focus on renewable energy, low-carbon materials and circular economy principles. Evolving trends such as co-living, build-to-rent, purpose-built student accommodation, vertical building retirement living and mixed-use developments are redefining residential spaces, with a focus on adaptability and the needs of the user.
