Private rental sector - A vital part of the future of the real estate market
The shape of the real estate market is changing. The retail sector is in decline and logistics and ‘alternative’ sectors - that is, anything other than office, retail and industrial / logistics – are on the rise. There is a growing interest from institutional investors in the residential market and, in particular, in the private rented sector.
Large, high-quality, managed apartment blocks in thriving urban areas – so-called ‘winning cities’ – are being acquired by institutions. The growing importance of this sub-sector of the real estate market taps into profound forces of demographic, economic and social change.
