There’s a new amenities arms race taking place in the build- to-rent (BTR) sector, but this time it’s not about who can offer the best cinema, coffee shop or state-of-the-art fitness centre – it’s how much flexible workspace or co-working space a scheme contains, thanks to the post-pandemic shift towards hybrid working.
But how do BTR investors, developers and operators work out what sort of amenities to provide and how much space should they allocate to amenities in their buildings? How can they best manage this amenity space during peaks and troughs of usage? And looking ahead, what is the next-level BTR amenity provision likely to be?
BE News held a roundtable discussion, sponsored by Yardi and hosted by Moda at its New York Square scheme in Leeds, during UKREiiF in May to discuss these questions. Click here to read a write-up of the event.
