ECF and City of Wolverhampton Council have launched a search for residential development partners to kick-start the delivery of a major new regeneration scheme in Wolverhampton.

Congratulations to the residents of Frederick Samuel Apartments, Boston Secor, Boston Road Plaza and Middletown Plaza for moving forward with New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)'s PACT Program. Thank you to the New York Post for calling for faster progress with PACT. Building on some of the facts shared in the editorial, there are currently almost 38,000 apartments, across 139 developments in all five boroughs, in the PACT program. Our private sector partners - joint ventures between developers, property managers, and general contractors - will deliver comprehensive renovations, environmental hazard abatement, and critical modernizations to our properties and address almost $13 billion in capital needs. However, there is one important clarification needed: PACT is a true public-private partnership. After a PACT conversion, the land and buildings continue to be owned by NYCHA and NYCHA continues to provide strong oversight of PACT sites. Finally, and most important, residents at PACT converted developments continue to receive the same robust tenant rights and protections they had under conventional public housing. The PACT model allows NYCHA to make significant progress toward reinvesting in, restoring and rebuilding NYCHA's housing stock, while maintaining public control and oversight.

The latest findings from Savills confirm what we've been seeing across the UK market – single-family housing (SFH) within Build to Rent is capturing investor interest like never before. As SFH continues to grow as a robust investment option, it offers new avenues for expanding rental housing supply, even as the broader construction pipeline faces challenges. Justine Edmonds, our Head of Build to Rent at Leaders Romans Group, highlights the unique potential of SFH for both tenants and investors: “Single-family Build to Rent developments allow us to reach a broader demographic, providing homes that are not only high-quality and energy-efficient but also tailored to meet the unique needs of residents. The emphasis on sustainable features and community amenities adds substantial long-term value for both residents and investors.” At Three Sixty Space, we’re committed to driving this momentum forward, supporting innovative partnerships and sustainable design that meets the needs of modern renters. #BuildToRent #SingleFamilyHousing #RealEstateInvestment #BTR #ThreeSixtySpace
