Yesterday the government announced planning reform proposals for more houses around commuter hubs. Our CEO Helen Gordon comments on these plans: “The Government’s proposals to unblock the planning system and turbo boost economic growth are both bold and welcome. Prioritising housing around transport hubs like train and tube stations is the right approach. Grainger is already creating greener communities by partnering with the public sector including TFL and Network Rail.    With a shortage of 4.3 million homes, we need bold action to stimulate supply. Today’s proposals by the Government could go farther and unlock billions of pounds of future private sector institutional investment into the UK housing market through measures to support the fast-growing Build to Rent sector.” You can find out more about the government's plans, here: https://lnkd.in/end4R_HK #BTR #planning #housing #infrastructure

At Grainger, we believe in the power of art to inspire, connect and transform communities. That’s why we were proud to support a recent art exhibition in Bristol, the location of our Glasshouse Square (Redcliff Quarter), Millwrights Place and Hawkins & George developments, which showcased the talents of local art club, Kitchen Table Photo Club. This exciting event, led by MAYK and commissioned by Ginkgo Projects Ltd, brought creativity, storytelling and connection to the community through analogue photography. The art programme, developed in collaboration with developer Madison Cairn, is part of our commitment to community. We are funding this initiative as part of the Glasshouse Square (Redcliff Quarter) development, currently under construction, to help empower and enrich Bristol’s vibrancy and diversity through the commissioning and funding of local artists. We always strive to build strong communities and are dedicated to initiatives that create lasting social value. It was great to see so many of our residents at the exhibition, helping to further showcase the city’s talent. (Photos courtesy of Paul Blakemore).

We’re delighted to celebrate this exciting milestone for our Merrick Place development, where we have forward-funded 401 rental homes, of which we are owner and operator, as part of the wider 575-home scheme in Southall, West London. Upon completion residents will benefit from high quality homes and state-of-the art amenity spaces, such as a lounge, gym, co-working and outdoor spaces, as well as dedicated onsite Resident Services team. This is a great example of partnership in action and our team is enjoying working with Vistry Group, Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing) and SNG (Sovereign Network Group) to deliver these much-needed new homes. Merrick Place will be another exciting addition to our London portfolio and we look forward to celebrating more milestones as the project progresses over the coming months.

🏠 Exciting news 🏠 We’re delighted to announce the acquisition of two new sites in Cardiff, marking another milestone in our commitment to providing high quality homes to rent in vibrant, well-connected locations across the UK. These sites have the potential to bring 400 new homes to the city, meeting the rising demand for modern and sustainable living spaces. The investment comprises a development site at John Street and a second investment in a multi-storey car park in Capital Quarter, next to our operational Copper Works scheme, which we successfully launched earlier this year. Our Cardiff acquisitions provide an opportunity to further strengthen our presence in the city, and we’re excited to work with stakeholders and the community to bring this vision to life. #cardiffdevelopment #residentialinvestment #buildingcommunities #BTR
