Panel discussion: Synergy in scale: The tri-tenure regeneration blueprint
We’ll take a deep dive into how tri-tenure developments comprising build-to-rent, for-sale and affordable can be the answer to get large-scale regeneration schemes and stalled masterplans moving quicker. In traditional for-sale developments, there are limits on the rate at which the market will absorb these new homes, which is a fundamental driver of the slow rate of delivery. Large developments might sell 5-10 homes per month in highly sought-after locations. Even mid-performing BTR schemes achieve lease-ups of 20-50 homes per month. This allows the developer to build out a scheme at a quicker pace, as they will not be oversupplying the traditional for-sale market in that locality. Early investment by BTR investors could help accelerate the delivery of private sale and affordable housing. This fundamental difference in absorption rates means BTR can stabilise an entire development in months rather than years. How do the three strands of living come together to provide large-scale sites? What is the correct formula to make this work?
