Build-To-Rent Developments York

York is another important city location that Kosy Living has earmarked for build-to-rent. It’s a small and very picturesque city with a population of around 200,000. Founded by the ancient Romans, York is packed with beauty, history and has a vibrant culture. 

Built to rent developments are ideal for a variety of renters including single people, couples, friends and small families. The quality of the modern apartments/homes, plus the desirable location, amenities and bills-included rent, make it a highly appealing living choice in comparison to more traditional housing.   

The city is home to an impressive 30,000 students living across the two universities. There are also some fantastic graduate job opportunities, particularly in science and technology, two industries that are thriving there. York is a leader in rail technology and has an International Centre for food research and development. There is also a financial services industry, and it has gained status as a UNESCO City of Media.  Giving a wide range of opportunities for build to rent.

Build to rent for Professionals and Graduates in York

Kosy co Living’s built-to-rent model will be well suited to professionals and graduates within the city, looking for quality rental homes that are well designed, well located, convenient and cost-effective. We strive to not just build buildings but build communities, and there will be lots of fantastic events and activities on to bring our community together.  

In 2021, research from Admiral found that York was the friendliest city in the UK for pet owners. A bonus for our build to rent buildings is that fluffy family members are also welcome! York and the area surrounding is fortunate to have plenty of wonderful gardens, parks and green spaces to enjoy. It’s also a very family-friendly city, with lots of amazing places to explore and activities to do for kids. From the viking centre and chocolate story exhibition to exploring the green spaces, sports centres and york maze, families will always find a fun activity to do including the various events on throughout the year. 

There is also plenty on for adults too! York is a city rich in culture and has a great film, music, comedy and art scene. It is packed with great restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs and cocktail places, and for those who want to party, there are a bunch of clubs and late-night venues suited to all music tastes from electronic and R&B to rock and 80’s music.  

York is a city that has something for everyone and we know our first Kosy Living build to rent development site will be an attractive living option for many renters. 

Build to Rent (BTR) Opportunities in York

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;

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.
