1,000(th) home built for The PRS REIT
The PRS REIT, the closed-ended real estate investment trust
established to invest in new-build homes for the Private Rented
Sector ("PRS"), is delighted to announce the completion of its
1,000(th) new home, approximately 23 months after the Company was
launched.
This milestone underlines the PRS REIT's rapidly emerging
position as the leading provider of new-build, family rental homes,
a severely undersupplied sector of the UK housing market. Tenants
are typically middle-income, families and young couples.
The 1,000(th) home is located at the Company's Prescot Park
development in Prescot, Merseyside. The development comprises 140
homes, offering a choice of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom properties. It fits
the PRS REIT's model of developing new homes close to good primary
schools and major transport links. Homes are let under the 'Simple
Life' brand, which is seeking to set a new standard of customer
care in the rental market, providing amongst other things a
twenty-four hour customer service phone line and promoting
community events.
Earlier this year, the PRS REIT met its initial target of
committing all of its expected funds of GBP900m (gross) to new
developments. This should fund the delivery of approximately 5,600
new rental homes and yield an estimated rental value of GBP57m per
annum upon completion.
Sigma PRS Management Limited, part of Sigma Capital Group plc,
is Investment Adviser to the PRS REIT, and responsible for sourcing
and managing the PRS REIT's assets.
Steve Smith, Chairman of the PRS REIT, said:
"We are delighted to report that the 1,000(th) home for the PRS
REIT has now been completed, and to welcome our new tenants. The
PRS REIT has been a trailblazer in the private rental sector, and a
further 3,200 or so new homes are currently under construction
through our partners. Family rental housing remains critically
short of current and projected demand, and we are pleased to be
playing a part in delivering a high quality solution."
