At our VIC Market Insights event, Mike Bird sat down with David Giffin, CEO of Centuria Bass, and Corey Nugent, CEO of Resilience Insurance, to discuss capital, confidence and the outlook for the apartment market in 2026.

From funding appetite and entry level product to the growing role of latent defects insurance, this conversation explores what is actually making projects more fundable and more sellable in today’s market.

In this discussion:

• Why Melbourne is being viewed as relatively attractive again
• What financiers are backing in 2026 and why entry level matters
• How latent defects insurance can improve buyer confidence and conversion
• The link between risk reduction and project funding
• Why supply constraints are likely to persist
• The outlook for Melbourne, Sydney and Southeast Queensland

With capital available but increasingly selective, and buyers demanding greater assurance, confidence has become a core development strategy.

Watch the full conversation to understand how funding, insurance and market positioning intersect in the current cycle.
