Build to Rent - BTR Developments Bristol

With over 724,000 people living in the city, Bristol is another of Kosy Co Living’s top cities to introduce our next phase of build-to-rent developments. It is the UK’s only European Green Capital and is constantly voted as one of the best places to live in the UK. With a vibrant cultural scene, fantastic music and nightlife and a thriving economy, it also has excellent universities and schools, suiting a wide variety of people.  BTR is well suited to single professionals, small families and couples, as it offers high-quality, high-spec new build apartments in great locations. 

There are two universities with over 60,000 students and Bristol does well in retaining its graduates. Industries include media, technology, electronics, science and engineering – particularly aerospace engineering. Bristol also has a high level of new business start-ups and a strong digital presence.  It boasts an abundance of trendy and quirky independent shops, restaurants and bars with a fantastic food scene, including a dedicated plant-based dining scene.  It is a super creative city, with a growing number of sustainable fashion businesses and is renowned for being the birth place of artist Banksy, and bands Portishead and Massive Attack. 

Build To Rent Embraced by Locals

Locals get to enjoy the vibrancy of the city,  yet are within easy reach of both the beach and stunning English countryside. There are endless amounts of activities to do as it has a thriving scene for events, arts, sports and hobbies. Glastonbury is nearby for music lovers and there are other countless festivals on throughout the year from music and film to art and literature. There is even an annual, free, four-day hot air balloon festival! There are plenty of parks, green spaces, and walking/cycle routes so it is well suited to lovers of the great outdoors. This highly attractive city is ideal for build-to-rent as Kosy Co Living strives to create modern homes and neighbourhoods that are about community. 

Build to Rent (BTR) Demand in Bristol

There is a demand for rental housing in the city and modern new builds are proving popular with locals. BTR can be very cost-effective and affordable as amenities, bills and wi-fi are often included. With the latest technology and drive for more sustainable buildings, energy efficiencies are achieved through the likes of green roofs, solar panels and heat pumps. Kosy Co Living is excited to bring Bristolians the opportunity to reside in one of our build-to-rent communities where they can enjoy modern, furnished and beautifully designed apartments, with great amenities such as free gym and classes, plus access to our co working areas and dedicated outdoor spaces. 

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.
