The partnership aims to deliver 500 single-family rental homes across the UK by 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Once complete, Chingford Meadows will provide 70 three-bedroom and 34 four-bedroom homes, all designed specifically for the rental market.<\/p>\n<p>Placefirst will manage the development, providing residents with dedicated support and maintenance services.<\/p>\n<p>The homes have been built with photovoltaic solar panels, battery storage and electric vehicle charging points as part of a focus on improving energy efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The development also strengthens Placefirst&#8217;s presence in the Midlands, taking the total number of homes being delivered through its partnership with Strata to 232.<\/p>\n<p>Anna Hwang, chief investment officer at Placefirst said: &#8220;The completion of our first homes in Nottingham is an important milestone in the growth of Placefirst as well as in our partnership with Strata. The scheme establishes our presence in an important new market and reflects our ambition to bring high-quality rental neighbourhoods to more locations across the UK. By working in partnership with Strata, we&#8217;re able to bring forward developments like Chingford Meadows more efficiently, helping to increase the supply of quality rental homes in places where people want to live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark Leaf, chief growth officer at Strata said: &#8220;The completion of the first phase at Chingford Meadows is an exciting milestone for both Strata and Placefirst, demonstrating the strength of our partnership and our shared commitment to delivering high-quality homes that meet changing housing needs. Working together, we&#8217;ve created a neighbourhood that combines thoughtfully designed, energy-efficient family homes with the long-term benefits of professionally managed rental living.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As demand for high-quality rental homes continues to grow, partnerships like this play an important role in bringing forward new housing while maintaining the design and placemaking standards central to every Strata development. We look forward to completing the remaining homes and continuing to build on the success of our joint venture with Placefirst.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nottingham
