Key points, in the publisher's words
- National Housing Bank, a Homes England company, has committed up to £70 million to the Fiera Real Estate Single Family Housing (FRESH) fund, a new open-ended fund targeting a portfolio in excess of £1 billion of professionally managed family rental homes.
- Backed by the Bank’s £51 million cornerstone investment and capital from private institutional partners, FRESH has now reached £200 million of investment capacity. This includes a further £19 million commitment from the Bank, which will become available as the fund scales, supporting early platform growth and attracting additional institutional investment into the residential sector.
- FRESH, established by Fiera Real Estate UK Limited and Packaged Living Limited, Fiera Real Estate’s rental living platform, will invest through forward-funding and forward-commitment agreements with developers and housebuilders. Working alongside institutional investors and delivery partners, the fund will unlock housing developments and accelerate the delivery of new homes in supply constrained locations to deliver a diversified portfolio of newly built family rental homes across the UK.
