𝗔 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆  Real estate development is about more than just building; it’s about understanding how design works operationally to meet the needs of tenants, investors and communities.  Yesterday's agenda was all about site meetings collaborating with teams to ensure that every design decision aligns with long-term functionality and value. These moments are where vision meets reality and it’s always exciting to see projects come to life.  One key takeaway? The growing demand for Build to Rent (BTR) in the UK. BTR’s resilience comes from:   𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱: A housing sector that meets modern renters’ needs.   𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀: Long-term stability for investors.   𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Designing for the future with eco-conscious principles.  In a fast-changing market,BTR continues to stand out as a sector that delivers for both investors and residents. It’s why we are so focused on getting the design and operations right it’s about building not just properties but thriving communities.  Let’s talk about what’s driving the future of BTR and how you can be part of it.  

If you have not seen today’s Savills publication on Investment in UK Operational BTR yet. The key attractions of the BTR sector for investors: - £300bn is the investment needed to meet future household growth across the PRS. A large part of this investment will need to be in urban BTR apartments. - Rent levels have outperformed the wider PRS, reflective of the higher quality of stock and professional management approach. - Rental growth of 3.2% p.a. over the past 20 years compared to earnings growth of 3.1%. This close correlation is especially attractive to institutional investors and points to sustainable rental growth over the long term. - Forecasts show rents outperforming house prices over the next two years supporting investment values. - 50% of investment in BTR in 2023 was from new entrants to the market, up from 20% in 2018. The investor profile is changing as the market matures and attracts a wider pool of global capital. - Housing should be viewed as infrastructure investment as the cost of debt remains a barrier to core capital but could be overcome if housing was considered an infrastructure product. Rented housing (affordable / private) is especially useful to infrastructure funds that deliver many homes in other countries. - 110,000 homes in the BTR planning pipeline which is the largest pipeline we’ve seen and indicates that the sector will start to grow more quickly than in the past. If it grows like the student sector did previously, it will start to double in size every couple of years. - Greater BTR scale will arguably be easier over the next decade because the groundwork has been done in terms of planning, development funding, development viability, partnership structures and portfolio management. #ukbtr #ukoperationalrealestate #ukmultifamily #savillsoperationalcapitalmarkets https://lnkd.in/eR7xt95c
