Build to Rent - BTR Development Sites Belfast

Kosy Living is excited to bring it’s build-to-rent model to Belfast, offering high-quality new-build apartment buildings to some of the best spots in the city.   

Belfast has undergone huge transformation since the 90’s and has become a very desirable place to live, study and work. There is however a housing shortage within the city, and there is simply not enough housing being built to meet demand. BTR can provide a much-needed rental solution, ideal for single people, couples, friends sharing or families seeking 1-,2- and 3-bedroom modern, furnished and well-located rental apartments in the city. 

Belfast has the perfect demographic for build-to-rent, with 16–39-year-olds accounting for over a third of Belfast’s population. There is a huge opportunity for co living and BTR developments and an appetite from the local council to provide such housing and communities. Such developments will bring economic boosts to the areas they are in, benefiting local shops, food places, services and councils. 

Belfast is famous for its pub culture and nightlife. There is live music every night of the week with plenty of places to enjoy a pint of Guinness, have a sing-song or dance in a traditional pub, or party the night away in the of the clubs.  Belfast also has a rich maritime history and is home to the Titanic Museum and Attraction, as it is the very city in which the famous ship was built. 

Build to Rent (BTR) Facilities Belfast

The city is also surrounded by nature with plenty of green spaces, hills and stunning coastlines to explore. It is a city big on sports with surfing, ice hockey, running, football and rugby all very popular amongst locals. Kosy Co Living often includes a Gym in its BTR buildings, providing perfect training grounds for our sporty residents. 

Home to award-winning restaurants and markets, Belfast has a big food scene with interesting local cuisines to try. They have a Christmas Market on every year as well as other cultural festivals across the year from music and dance to art and literature. 

Belfast is a brilliant and lively city, well suited to Kosy Co Living’s BTR model which we can wait to bring to Northern Ireland’s capital. 

Build to Rent Development Expansion

Build to Rent is fast becoming an ever growing sector and Kosy Co Living will be within the heart of it. We launched our portfolio in early 2022, unveiling a £1billion development pipeline. Our portfolio is growing rapidly and we are now welcoming new funding partners for our BTR developments across the UK. Our projects are currently in Bath, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Cardiff, Cambridge, Guildford, Leeds, London, Oxford, Reading and Surrey. 

Currently researching and creating proposals for the following areas;

Bournemouth, Belfast, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester.

As our pipeline grows we are looking to forward fund our larger schemes within the build to rent sector. We have commercial property investments build to rent opportunities for forward funding, equity partners, joint ventures, unconditional funding partners and planning uplift partners. We have opportunities for joint ventures with equity partners as we obtain planning permission with a view to sell or re-finance at PC. We are also sometimes presented with great opportunities for developers where the land owner needs an immediate sale and we are looking to partner with investors who would fund this type of project.
