Our landmark Milton Keynes Build-to-Rent scheme for Pension Insurance Corporation plc has achieved practical completion. Arbour was developed by HG Living in partnership with HG Construction and comprises 306 residential apartments purpose-designed for rent, 43 of which are offered at a discounted market rate. The highly energy efficient homes incorporate a range of clean energy technologies, including air source heat pumps and solar panels. The development will also create social value in the centre of Milton Keynes. For example, the residents of Arbour will be able to buy directly from local businesses through a special Arbour app. It has been a pleasure to work collaboratively with PIC throughout the development of this scheme and the end result is something the entire team can be proud of. This high quality, sustainable development has significantly boosted the housing offering in Milton Keynes and will contribute positively to the local community for years to come.

This morning we announced the practical completion of Arbour, a landmark Build-to-Rent scheme located in the heart of central Milton Keynes. The £80 million redevelopment of a brownfield site provides 306 residential apartments purpose- designed for rent, 43 of which are offered at a discounted market rate: https://lnkd.in/e_XnXEbA   The building, formally a vacant office block known as “Bowback House”, is fully owned by PIC, which will use the rental cashflows to help underpin the company’s future pension payment obligations to its policyholders. The development is part of PIC’s wider investment in UK housing and infrastructure, which totals over £13 billion to date, including more than £3 billion in social housing.   Arbour was developed by HG Living, a specialist developer of Build-to-Rent homes, with HG Construction (‘HGC’) as contractor.   The highly energy efficient homes incorporate a range of clean energy technologies, including air source heat pumps and solar panels. The development will also create social value in the centre of Milton Keynes. For example, the residents of Arbour will be able to buy directly from local businesses through a special “Arbour app”.   Future new properties upcoming on the “Homes by PIC” platform, from 2025, include 278 homes at The Wiltern in London, and 667 homes at One Eastside in Birmingham. Steve Hollands, Head of Build-to-Rent Acquisitions at Pension Insurance Corporation, said: “We are proud to launch our next Build-to-Rent development which will benefit the neighbouring community in Milton Keynes. 43 of the apartments will also be made available at a discounted rent to key workers and those on lower salaries. The city’s strategic geographical location, excellent transport connections and its strong economy provide key attributes that will help pay the pensions of our policyholders for decades to come.   “Arbour aspires to set a new benchmark for rental living within the city, including over an acre of green spaces and an exceptional amenity offering for the exclusive use of its residents including a gym, concierge, co-working space and lounge. PIC continues to actively seek to invest in the living sector in order to deliver much needed housing accommodation across the UK.” #BTR #BuildtoRent #MiltonKeynes #Investments #Pensions #Policyholders #SocialValue Hayley Rees, Sam Winnard, Hannah Avery, Tanmay Desai, Chris Shaw MRICS, Coryn Martin, Eleanor Baillie, Francesca Lazzarini, Jenna McFee, James Agar, Hugh Milne, HAALO Ltd, Jason Withers, Ximena Redfern-Tongs

As the end of the year draws near, we’re reflecting on the year we’ve had and looking ahead. 2023 has seen us develop fruitful new partnerships and announce two forward-funded student accommodation schemes – one in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and another in Kennington, London. It’s been a busy year for HG Living, our first full year in business since our launch in March last year, and we are grateful for the new relationships forged and ventures we have undertaken in the last 12 months. We wish all our clients, investors and partners a wonderful holiday season and a peaceful and prosperous new year. #seasonsgreetings #christmas2023
