Lendlease and CPP Investments strengthen their Build-to-Rent partnership
- 19 Feb 2020
The partnership will expand with an additional investment of approximately £80 million in the next phase of new Build-to-Rent homes, which will be at Lendlease’s Elephant Park development. CPP Investments will invest approximately £40 million for 50% and Lendlease will invest the balance. This investment will allow work to begin on construction of the new homes in the first half of this year.
Build-to-Rent is becoming one of the fastest-growing property trends within the U.K. The new 18-storey building with 118 Build-to-Rent homes will be located at Elephant Park, the landmark 28-acre regeneration project that is being delivered by Lendlease in south London.
Today’s announcement builds on the major Build-to-Rent partnership first announced by the partnership in 2018 with an initial target of investing £1.5 billion in the sector. Lendlease will develop, construct and manage the Build-to-Rent homes on behalf of the partnership.
Tom Mackellar, Chief Financial Officer for Lendlease Europe, said: “This deal demonstrates the strength of our partnership with CPP Investments, and our partnership is already set to bring hundreds of high-quality new Build-to-Rent homes to Elephant Park in south London. The sector is rapidly expanding in the U.K. and we look forward to helping meet the demand for that type of property.”
The first phase of homes in the Build-to-Rent partnership are already near completion, with the first residents expected to move in later this year.
Andrea Orlandi, Managing Director, Head of Real Estate Europe, CPP Investments, said: “The fundamentals continue to support the Build-to-Rent sector in the U.K. with an increasing number of households shifting to private rentals, particularly in major urban centres. By working with Lendlease, one of the largest global real estate developers, we will aim to address the Build-to-Rent shortage and pursue additional investment and regeneration development opportunities in the U.K.”
Lendlease is working in partnership with Southwark Council to deliver Elephant Park, a £2.5 billion regeneration project. The project is creating thousands of high-quality new homes, jobs, business opportunities and green space for Londoners.
