Developer Related Argent is set to enhance its in-house asset management abilities through the addition of a dedicated operations team dedicated to Build-to-Rent (BtR) developments.

The BtR portfolio comprises over 3,000 rental homes across its developments in King’s Cross, Brent Cross Town and Tottenham Hale (The Heart of Hale). The company’s total residential portfolio includes 8,000 sale and rental homes. 

Related Argent’s first rental homes will become available in late Summer 2023 at Author King’s Cross, which is being delivered with joint venture partner, The Olayan Group.

The BtR team will deliver the highest standards of resident service, building maintenance and leasing across its developments, and will be responsible for the complete resident experience from concierge and hospitality to property management and resident activities. 

The new BtR team is led by Tom Goodall, Partner of Related Argent and Head of Residential, together with Michael Herrington, Director of Build-to-Rent Operations. Michael brings experience from Related Companies where he has overseen the successful operations management of thousands of rental homes across New York City, Boston and Chicago

Related Argent plans to utilise the established expertise of Related Companies, which manages over 71,000 homes throughout the United States and is renowned for its exceptional customer service, bringing decades of proven experience to the sector.

Tom Goodall, Related Argent Partner and Head of Residential said, “The strong growth of our residential portfolio continues. Our first homes are now occupied in Tottenham Hale. Our sales launch for the first homes at Brent Cross was one of the most successful launches in London last year and we are now preparing to launch our first flagship BtR development at King’s Cross. We are confident that our focus on creating the best places to live, work and visit will translate to high rental and sales demand for these new homes.”

Michael Herrington, Director of Build-to-Rent Operations at Related Argent said: “Across our BtR portfolio our focus will be on delivering high-quality homes with excellent lifestyle amenities and exceptional service delivered by our dedicated in-house team. Our first development, Author King’s Cross, will bring a new residential offer to one of London’s most iconic destinations. Residents can truly live local and enjoy the best of King’s Cross on their doorstep.”
