GREYKITE European Real Estate Fund I has entered into a strategic single-family rental (SFR) homes partnership with BGO Strategic Capital Partners.
Through the partnership, BGO SCP has made a co-investment to recapitalise Uniqhomes, GREYKITE’s dedicated UK single-family rental SFR platform. GREYKITE has retained majority ownership of the platform, alongside asset manager Alvesta Investment Management.
Since the launch of Uniqhomes in 2024, the platform has acquired 26 UK SFR sites across the UK, providing more than 1,000 purpose-built rental homes in locations including Yorkshire, the Midlands, the North and the West of England.
Michael Abel, founder, CEO and CIO of GREYKITE, said: “We are excited to have partnered with BGO SCP to drive the next phase of Uniqhomes’ progress. This partnership is consistent with our strategic focus on building market-leading platforms in thematic sectors, and is a reflection of our collective conviction in the opportunity ahead as we continue executing Uniqhomes’ growth strategy.”
Dan Valenzano, senior partner of GREYKITE and chairman of Uniqhomes, added: “Since inception in 2024, Uniqhomes has grown into one of the UK’s largest SFR platforms. The combination of robust demand for professionally managed single-family rental accommodation continues to outstrip new supply, and we look forward to further expanding and enhancing the platform with our partners at BGO SCP and Alvesta.”
Cherine Aboulzelof, managing partner and co-head of BGO Strategic Capital Partners, said: “Uniqhomes is a scaled, high quality UK single-family rental platform with strong in-place rental performance and high occupancy, in a structurally undersupplied market. We are delighted to partner with GREYKITE, who have led the sourcing and aggregation of the portfolio, and we look forward to supporting the next phase of the platform’s growth together.”
