A focus on submarkets overweight with supportive trends to both de-risk projects and drive long term returns.
Understanding the target customer is critical and this individual is just that, individual.
Developing an understanding of and acknowledging the variations between submarkets to ensure a depth of demand.
Understanding historic, current and future supply trends ensures that a fit for purpose, tailored product is delivered.
High demand areas that offer all the convenience of modern life, with parks, schools, transport in close proximity, and amenities and services that are accessible by foot.
Locations that are desirable due to these factors to ensure that the assets attractiveness/value is protected over the longer term.
