Ringley Group launches Una Living platform in the U.K.

Ringley Group, the £8 billion ($10 billion) residential group, is launching a new operational living sector platform, known as Una Living.

Una Living will act as third-party asset-management and operating partner for living sector-asset owners

The platform will look to position itself as the go-to business for investors looking to access UK living real estate, including build-to-rent (BTR), co-living, purpose-built student accommodation and senior housing. It will manage an initial portfolio of more than 1,700 BTR homes across the United Kingdom on behalf of institutional investors and is actively seeking more asset management and operating mandates.

Although it is now active only in the United Kingdom, Una Living also is exploring opportunities in Europe.

Una Living will remain a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ringley, which manages more than 15,000 homes for the United Kingdom’s largest investors, including Patrizia, Europa, Curlew, Rise Homes and Gresham House.

“Una Living is our branded concept for the operational work Ringley Group has undertaken across UK living real estate,” said Mary-Anne Bowring, CEO of Ringley. “The team has advised major players in the residential space such as Curlew, Europa, Rise, Moda, Gresham House and PATRIZIA at different stages of the asset journey, and as a result, [has] a 360-degree understanding of how to create value.”
