Greycoat Real Estate LLP

We are delighted to announce our latest joint venture with Homes England and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. - a master developer partnership. Together with our partners, we will acquire and accelerate large scale development sites across England to deliver thousands of homes. With a focus on delivering high quality environments for new communities, the partnership will acquire sites to masterplan and develop, with necessary infrastructure works, in order to offer ready-to-develop sites to a diverse range of housebuilders. With placemaking at the heart of the partnership, developments will aim to deliver around 1,000 homes across each site, with social and community values at the forefront of plans, accelerating progress in an underserved area of UK residential markets.

On Saturday the City of London hosted the Lord Mayor's Show, to welcome the Rt Hon Lord Mayor, Alastair King as the 696th person to be elected to the prestigious role. We were delighted that Stephen Barry and Yvan Atangana were able represent Greycoat Real Estate LLP amongst a selection of industry peers on a float to support the Lord Mayor’s strategy of "Growth Unleashed". This initiative will help to ensure that as the world’s leading financial and business centre, the City it is more diverse, creative and sustainable than ever.

It was a pleasure to speak at EG's ESG Summit this week, to go behind the scenes of DIALS, Greycoat Real Estate LLP's most ambitious retrofit project to date. Whilst we are focused on achieving the highest levels of environmental certification, I wanted to look “beyond the numbers” and provide some insight to the realities of the process that sits behind the theory and carbon counting. The reality of surveying, cataloguing, and evaluating thousands of items for reuse. The reality of “discoverables” and the need to have a team that is agile enough to pivot or redesign when the building serves up a curveball. The reality of the contractor working around 36,000 raised access floor tiles that you want to retain. Retrofit projects are and always have been about working with the building and accepting that you can’t have everything. Someone once told me that “perfection is the enemy of the good” when making decisions around sustainability – do the best job you possibly can today and make peace with the fact that you might do something differently tomorrow. So as developers it is our job to understand the role that sustainability plays in the rich mix of qualities that go into making a best-in-class asset. Decisions around floor plate, design aesthetic, amenity, wellness, planning, fire safety, specification, and a myriad of other things still need to be made, all in the context of time, cost, value and risk. Outcomes can vary hugely between projects, and there is no one-size-fits-all. Real estate can be such an “echo chamber” of similar thinking, so I was really pleased to see such diverse audience with panellists from across different sectors and disciplines sharing their findings and experiences. This is key to innovation, understanding and refining best practice.
