Regis and Blackstone are pleased to announce the launch of Leaf Living, a new venture setting a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to enhancing the UK's housing market. As a leading provider of professionally managed new-build rental housing, Leaf Living is poised to invest over £1 billion and deliver more than 5,000 homes, addressing the growing demand for flexible housing options nationwide.
Our strategy with Leaf Living is to focus primarily on developing and operating new-build, market-rate, single-family houses across the UK. This initiative meets a critical market demand for high-quality and flexible family housing options and represents a significant long-term investment in the sector. Our commitment to sustainability is evident in our target for all houses to achieve a minimum EPC B rating, aligning with the latest environmental standards.
Building on our successful collaboration through Sage Housing, where we have already invested over £3 billion in creating a committed portfolio of over 20,000 affordable homes, Regis Group and Blackstone continue to demonstrate our dedication to delivering high-quality housing solutions.
Will Montague, Acting CEO of Leaf Living, emphasizes our vision: "Leaf Living will give people the opportunity to rent high-quality, professionally managed modern houses. We are already working with house builders across the country and look forward to financing the creation of much-needed new housing. Residents will be at the heart of Leaf Living, which will provide houses in places where people want to live and on terms that suit all renters."
Through Leaf Living, we are excited to further our mission of providing exceptional housing opportunities that meet the needs of contemporary renters, driving forward both community development and sustainable living standards.
