QUINTAIN LIVING

Quintain is the developer behind the transformation of Wembley Park, which it acquired over 20 years ago. The 85-acre site is London’s globally renowned entertainment district, now transformed into a 365-day neighbourhood that includes the OVO Arena Wembley, London Designer Outlet, the Hilton Hotel, Premier Inn, Boxpark Wembley, Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, Amazon Fresh, independent shops, exceptional office space, acres of pedestrianised public realm and around 5,000 homes.

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 ten 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.

In 2022 Quintain Living was named EG’s BtR Specialist and RESI’s Property Manager of the Year.

She leads Get Living’s ESG agenda and supports industry collaboration on a broad range of issues, advocating for a sustainable real estate sector and recognition of social contribution. In 2020, Christian-West chaired Revo, a national body representing the retail property industry during a particularly challenging time for the 30-year-old organisation due to the pandemic. She took up her current role leading Get Living’s portfolio during 2020, immediately getting to work on building a talented portfolio management team to deliver an ambitious portfolio growth strategy. She initiated the creation of the Lab E20 at East Village, an exemplar of the future of retail in residential neighbourhoods, where residents and visitors can see and buy sustainable products being designed and created in the store. She has led on investment and operational strategies to enhance portfolio performance, which are already delivering results. Christian-West has more than 20 years’ experience in UK real estate. Prior to Get Living, she spent 12 years at Landsec as an executive committee member responsible for portfolio management and operations. At Landsec, she led key strategic initiatives including the London suburban residential asset strategy, exiting secondary shopping centres and creating significant value through building a retail outlet portfolio. She spent 10 years in fund management running core-plus and opportunistic funds, including at LaSalle Investment Management, and she has served on the board of a technology startup fund. Christian-West enjoys spending time with her husband and two young children at home in London and looks forward to travelling again in the future.

BTRAC IS BACK!

Following a successful move to a two-day event in 2022, Bisnow's 5th edition of our Build To Rent Annual Conference (BTRAC) will take place on 14 and 15 June, back in Wembley. Once again we'll be providing more dynamic content and facilitating more networking opportunities than ever!

Knight Frank estimates the value of the UK BTR market at £56B, based on their analysis of stock both under construction and operational. Given the future pipeline, they predict this could grow to £102B by 2028. As BTR enters its next growth stage in the UK, this event will seek to uncover the people, tools and strategies you need to raise more capital, increase your deal flow, stay ahead of the competition and take your portfolio to the next level.

The 2023 programme will include:

BTR in a new economic world
Sustainable BTR
Delivering resident value through customer experience, marketing and operations
Financing BTR deals and developments
Build To Last: The maintenance and refurb cycle of a BTR scheme
The transformative power of smart tech
BTR and the 15 minute city
What’s on the horizon for BTR?

This will be a one of a kind, can't-miss Bisnow event. We hope to have you with us for a memorable event in June.

What You Get: Your ticket includes two days of the most up to date, relevant and engaging insight into the trends shaping the BTR sector, plentiful opportunities for networking, guided site tours of the transformative Quintain Wembley Park site* and access to booths hosted by innovative suppliers to the industry.

*Tours run concurrently and it is only possible to attend one tour. Tours are pre-booked on a first-come-first-served basis and have limited availability.

Why You Should Attend: Bisnow events bring together the UK's most influential commercial real estate investors, owners, developers, lenders, occupiers, consultants and advisors for dynamic and unforgettable content and dedicated networking sessions. With the largest audience of CRE professionals in the world, no one knows how to help your business more than us.
