Grainger plc has achieved a record lease-up for Gatehouse Apartments, its first Build-to-Rent (BTR) development in Southampton. Launched at the end of March this year, the 132-home scheme in Southampton city centre is now fully leased after just over 3 months, over 8 months ahead of the anticipated 12-month lease-up programme. Comprising one- and two-bedroom apartments, the new development located on East Street offers residents a 24-hour gym, co-working space, lounge, private dining area and a stunning roof terrace with views across the city. Grainger's inhouse Resident Services team are on hand to help residents with anything they need and free superfast 250mbps wi-fi is available throughout the development. Gatehouse Apartments is the first of five BTR developments, totalling c.1,000 homes, Grainger is delivering this year, with schemes in Greater Manchester, North London (x2) and Leeds, currently in lease-up, or launching imminently. Demand for The Filaments, a 386-home BTR development in Salford, Greater Manchester, is also proving strong. Launched in April 2021, The Filaments is already over 40% leased-up and progressing well ahead of schedule. Recent weeks have seen significant uplift in both enquiry and sign-up levels across Grainger's portfolio, with many positive signs for the recently launched Windlass Apartments and Apex Gardens developments in Tottenham, London, and the upcoming launch of The Headline in Leeds.
