WHY THIS IS A CAN'T MISS EVENT
Why now?
In London, there are around 8,500 co-living homes up and operating, but Savills has identified a target audience of potentially 680,000 occupiers. Whether you're funding, developing or operating co-living, these sessions offer a practical look at where the market is heading and what it takes to deliver a successful scheme. Hear directly from the companies behind some of the UK's standout co-living projects on what they've learned along the way and what they wish they knew sooner.
What You'll Learn:
Why capital is shifting into UK co-living development and which funding structures, from forward funding to joint ventures, are gaining traction
What investors and funders need to see before committing to a co-living scheme, and how the debt market is evolving for the sector
Where developers are looking to build in London and beyond as demand grows through retrofit and new build projects
The delivery and construction methods helping developers control costs, navigate planning and keep schemes on programme
How design and placemaking are evolving to create co-living spaces that build community and boost resident retention
What operational schemes are teaching the industry, and how those lessons are shaping the design and delivery of the next generation of co-living
How You’ll Do More Business
Co-living has moved beyond its early years, and the conversation has turned to delivery. Connect with the investors, developers and owner/operators funding, designing, and building the UK's co-living pipeline, and discover how deals are being structured as capital flows into new schemes. Come for the insight, then stay for a morning of networking with the decision makers driving UK co-living forward.
Who You'll Meet: Owners, developers, investors, architects, construction, designers, brokers, lawyers, financial institutions.
Previous Attending Companies: Dominus, True North Management, Savills, Blue Coast Capital, Utopi, Node, HUB, CBRE, Watkin Jones Group PLC, Ballymore and more
