Greystar has appointed Thomasin Renshaw from Pocket Living as managing director – UK development.
At Pocket Living, Renshaw served as chief development officer overseeing its entire pipeline of major London schemes, and prior to that she worked for Grosvenor and Muse.
In her new role, she will be responsible for leading Greystar’s UK development strategy across build-to-rent (BTR) and purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) and will report to Daniel Breeden, senior managing director – UK.
Breeden said: “The UK cannot address its housing shortage without partners who can deliver at scale and with certainty. Strengthening our development leadership ensures Greystar is ready to move quickly on land opportunities and work with public and private landowners to unlock new housing. Thomasin’s experience in regeneration and partnership delivery will support our aim to bring more professionally managed rental homes to market and contribute meaningfully to the national effort to increase supply.”
Renshaw added: “There is a clear national need for more rental homes, and institutional developers have a vital role in delivering them. Greystar has the platform, capital and operational expertise to bring forward new housing at pace. My focus is on strengthening our pipeline and working with landowners, local authorities and communities to deliver well-designed homes in places where demand is greatest.”
