Canvas Living set to operate new Kingsford co-living scheme

Build to Rent and co-living operator Canvas Living has been appointed as the operating partner for a new co-living development in Kingsford, Sydney, which is set to welcome residents in March 2026.

Located in the heart of Sydney’s thriving eastern suburbs, the Kingsford site will comprise 68 fully furnished private studios, vibrant shared spaces, and an array of amenities designed to balance connection and privacy for residents.

Amenities include shared kitchens and lounge spaces, high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity, 24/7 resident support and a program of regular community events. Utilities will also be included for residents.

“Canvas is thrilled to partner on this exciting project at 87-91 Middle Street, Kingsford, which is ideally located close to UNSW and the Light Rail network with direct access to the Sydney CBD.

“Our mission is to deliver a hospitality-inspired living experience, combining exceptional service, smart technology, and curated resident events to foster a true sense of belonging.

“With demand for Build to Rent and co-living on the rise, this project marks another milestone for Canvas as it expands its portfolio of managed communities across Australia. Canvas offers a proven operations model for developers and investors that enhances asset performance while delivering an outstanding resident experience.”

The development has been designed with a focus on sustainability and efficient building management. Kingsford itself is a fast-growing, vibrant suburb with excellent connectivity and strong lifestyle appeal, especially for students and professionals.

Now the operator of the scheme, Canvas Living’s experience in mobilisation, leasing and community activation ensures a seamless transition from construction to occupancy for asset owners. The company aims to bring a resident-first philosophy to every development it manages with a focus on creating engaging, service-driven environments for residents.
