Development finance lender Maslow Capital has greenlit a £18.1 mln (€20.5 mln) development loan to Yari Investments for the construction of 121 co-living units the London borough of Hounslow.
The borrower, who was introduced to Maslow Capital by Brotherton Real Estate, plans to hold and operate the units as long-term investment. Situated in High Street, Feltham, the property is surrounded by several new build developments and sits within an established residential area.
The co-living units, which have been designed with young professionals in mind, are set to be completed by MY Construction, utilising modular construction techniques and their own offsite production facility.
All units will be prefabricated in the UK using steel frames and double insulation. Studios will include a bedroom and bathroom, while also providing shared communal spaces such as lounge, kitchen, dining areas, and co-working spaces.
With over 60% of the local population able to afford the rent of a unit at the property, the co-living development will not only be stylish and modern, but also highly affordable for the local demographic.
