EQT Real Estate and Sigma Capital launch €1.1b residential JV

by Andrea Zander

EQT Real Estate has launched a joint venture with Sigma Capital Group, a London-listed residential development and urban regeneration specialist.

Rob Rackind, partner at EQT Partners and head of EQT Real Estate, said, “This joint venture with Sigma Capital marks an exciting entrance into the U.K. for EQT Real Estate, as it represents the first transaction in this market since the business line was established in 2015.”

The joint venture will focus on the creation of new-build, high-quality well-located build-to-rent residential apartment blocks and houses in more affordable parts of Greater London and its commuter towns. The homes will be predominantly located in transport Zones 3-6 and in close proximity to transport links, including train access to central London.

Completed homes will be leased at market-rate rents under Sigma’s Simple Life London brand, which aims to bring a higher standard of customer care and convenience to the private rental market.
