U.K. property developer Godwin Developments has launched a nationwide build-to-rent (BTR) platform.
Working as an equity investor in partnership alongside a leading institutional real estate partner, Godwin has ambitious plans to build a portfolio valued in excess of £1 billion (€1.1 billion/$1.04 billion)
The joint venture will target both the single-family and multifamily BTR sectors in recognition of the substantial growth potential of the asset class. The strategy enables Godwin Developments to leverage its strong track record across acquisition, planning and delivery while rapidly scaling its operations in the sector. The joint venture partner has significant experience in investing in the living sectors across multiple jurisdictions, including in the U.K.
In the near-term, the joint venture partnership is aiming to develop its BTR proposition through the acquisition of both standing and forward funded stock as well as by unlocking new land opportunities
