Avanton to build 800 homes across London

A:Living, Avanton’s build-to-rent brand, has said it will build 700 homes through the £730m Ruby Triangle project in the Old Kent Road in Southwark. It is also planning 100 units through its £250m Stonebridge Place development in Wembley.

Omer Weinberger, chief executive of Avanton, said: “London’s Build to Rent sector is rapidly growing in size, quality and product range and last year Avanton announced a three-year expansion into this sector, seeking land and strategic opportunities to deliver high-quality purpose-built stock to meet the market demand.”

This 800-home announcement comes after A:Living said it has let out 20 flats across the 2nd to 20th floors of its Coda development in Battersea.

David Ronson, sales and marketing director of Avanton, said: “The success of this pilot scheme demonstrates the significant demand for the offering at Coda.”

Avanton has several built-to-rent projects in the pipeline alongside a £500 million fund for strategic land acquisitions.
