ANZ today announced it has supported Enliven Group's inaugural labelled social loan, continuing a long‑standing relationship and supporting the delivery of Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) across Australia.
The $480 million syndicated social loan facility represents Enliven's first labelled social loan dedicated to specialist disability accommodation in Australia. Proceeds from the facility will support Enliven's ownership, development and acquisition pipeline of specialist disability accommodation apartments, houses and villas.
ANZ acted as the house bank, Agent, Lender and the sole Sustainability Coordinator on the transaction building on a relationship that has supported Enliven's growth as a national SDA platform.
Established in 2018, Enliven Housing Group has grown into one of Australia's leading Specialist Disability Accommodation providers, with operations across all five mainland states in Australia. Enliven's differentiated model leverages its in-house development and operational capabilities to unlock high quality well located purpose-built SDA housing.
The transaction contributes to ANZ's target to fund and facilitate $10 billion in social and affordable housing outcomes, with Specialist Disability Accommodation playing an important role in supporting people across the housing continuum.
ANZ General Manager Institutional Property and Health, Jo Scotney, said: "Enliven Group aims to deliver safe, modern and accessible homes for people living with disability, and we value our strong relationship with Enliven and their purpose in delivering specialist housing options. Quality housing is fundamental to independence and wellbeing, and this facility will help Enliven provide more fit for purpose accommodation nationwide.
"This transaction also reflects growing interest from customers seeking to align funding with positive social outcomes and supports ANZ's target to fund and facilitate $10 billion in social, affordable and accessable housing by end 2030."
Enliven's portfolio of specialist disability accommodation includes one- and two-bedroom apartments within multi-unit developments, along with stand-alone shared houses and villas. Enliven is owned by a fund, managed by Macquarie Asset Management.
Enliven Housing Group Chief Executive Officer, Danny Grynberg, said: "The transaction reflects the increasing maturity of the SDA sector and the importance of long‑term capital in supporting scale.
"Specialist Disability Accommodation provides high-quality and sustainable housing for people with disability in Australia. Enliven offers a different approach to SDA, combining high quality homes with a strong sense of community and tenant-centric outcomes, with a focus on enabling the delivery of care for its residents in a safe and efficient manner. These homes are not transitional - they are long-term homes that integrate the latest in assistive technologies, empowering tenants to lead fuller, more autonomous lives."
