When completed, Wembley Park will be home to the largest single site of Build to Rent in the UK with over 6,000 homes managed by leading BtR operator Quintain Living by 2027. With studios to four-bed apartments currently across nine developments, Quintain Living’s pet-friendly homes offer unique, lifestyle-led amenity spaces including cinema rooms, roof-top gardens, libraries, work-from-home sheds, a private club house and climbing wall plus 24-hour resident support.

Caroline Foster

Caroline Foster has successfully championed a diverse range of schemes, the most recent being the new strategic settlement of 6,500 homes at Waterbeach in Cambridgeshire, the largest consent to be granted in England in 2019. Foster led the project for Urban&Civic and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, working with a diverse range of consultants and stakeholders to synthesise and address a series of complex issues throughout the engagement, decision-making and documentation stages of the project. Foster has built strong and lasting relationships within Cambridgeshire at all levels and is known for delivering on promises made. Following resolution to grant and completion of the section 106 agreement, she has maintained the team’s pace and focus on delivery throughout lockdown, balancing the demands of home schooling for two young children with a detailed planning and infrastructure delivery programme. That programme will deploy about £60M of Homes England infrastructure acceleration funding by 2023, allowing first residents to be living on-site by autumn 2022. Foster is passionate about delivering highly sustainable places and took the decision to ensure the first school at Waterbeach would be car-free, accessed by a network of footpaths and cycleways to promote healthy lifestyles from the outset. Her role leading the delivery of significant projects in Cambridgeshire is set to expand further. Following the acquisition of Urban&Civic by the Wellcome Trust, Foster will assume the role of development manager for the growth of the Wellcome Genome Campus at Hinxton. Plans for the Genome Campus present an opportunity to develop a 21st-century community of academics, scientists, entrepreneurs and innovative companies collaborating on research to deliver positive human impact. Outside of work Foster loves spending time with her kids and husband, enjoying dinner with friends and travelling back home to family in Ireland as often as she can.
