ECE is expanding its activities in the residential sector in the United Kingdom and is acquiring a portfolio with a total of 2,100 build-to-rent residential units at three locations in Birmingham, Leeds, and Manchester – the three largest and most economically powerful cities in England after London. The acquisition of the first property in Birmingham, with over 320 residential units in two buildings, has now been completed, with the other two locations to follow over the course of the year. ECE have acquired the properties from Dandara, a UK build-to-rent developer and property manager. ECE will be responsible for the long-term management and leasing of the apartment buildings and has entered into a three-year partnership agreement with the seller’s management organization. This transaction marks ECE’s first investment in the “build-to-rent” market. ECE plans to further expand its activities in this sector, including in other European countries.
With this step, ECE is making a strategic investment in a growth market – the United Kingdom has a comparatively young population with dynamic growth rates and a strong economy with excellent development prospects. In this positive environment, the British build-to-rent market has also grown rapidly in recent years, following the trend toward renting residential housing and shared use of attractive common areas and additional services that has been gaining ground there for years.
