It’s a more responsible way of renting – delivering quality homes and reduced rent options for those who qualify.
At Swift Walk, you’ll live in a secure, thoughtfully managed building, where people from all walks of life can feel at home.
Register your interestAssemble participates in a government-backed initiative that enables us to offer quality rental homes at a significantly reduced rate.
Our responsible pricing model means eligible households pay reduced rent at Swift Walk.
For qualified renters, the rent is set 25% lower than the market rent for the same home.
For qualified renters, the rent is set 25% lower than the market rent for the same home.
We carefully allocate these homes based on income to ensure they suit your household, with the goal of alleviating rental stress by providing fair access to well-designed, secure, professionally managed homes that match your financial circumstances.
We also provide options for longer-term leases, giving residents the stability and peace of mind they need to build their lives with confidence.
Residents can expect safe, secure, and conveniently located homes in a vibrant neighbourhood.
These homes are thoughtfully designed for individuals, couples and families on modest incomes—such as key workers, younger or older renters, and those who may be finding it difficult to secure a place in the private rental market.
Offering reduced rents on well-designed, inner-city residences isn’t an act of charity—it’s an investment in the diversity and vitality of our communities.
And thriving neighbourhoods are built on a mix of people from all walks of life. This is exactly what you’ll find at Swift Walk, Kensington.
