Watkin Jones is the UK's leading developer and manager of residential for
rent, with a focus on the build to rent, student accommodation and affordable
housing sectors. The Group has strong relationships with institutional
investors, and a reputation for successful, on-time-delivery of high quality
developments.  Since 1999, Watkin Jones has delivered 48,000 student beds
across 143 sites, making it a key player and leader in the UK purpose-built
student accommodation market, and is increasingly expanding its operations
into the build to rent sector.  In addition, Fresh, the Group's specialist

to rent apartments on behalf of its institutional clients.  Watkin Jones has
also been responsible for over 80 residential developments, ranging from
starter homes to executive housing and apartments.

 

The Group's competitive advantage lies in its experienced management team and
capital-light business model, which enables it to offer an end-to-end solution
for investors, delivered entirely in-house with minimal reliance on third
parties, across the entire life cycle of an asset.
