Build-to-rent provider acquires four new sites

Build-to-rent provider, Sigma Capital Group, has acquired four new sites with a gross development cost (GDC) of £100m, which will deliver 415 new homes through its partnership with Vistry Group.

When completed the new developments will be wholly owned by Sigma Capital as well as being leased and managed by their internal Simple Life Team.

The four sites include Top Wighay Farm (East Midlands) which will deliver 153 units, Ibstock, St. Helens (North West) comprising 120 units, Sutton Road, Maidstone (South East) with 87 units and Womersley Rd, Knottingley (Yorkshire) 55 units. The homes will be built by Vistry Group as part of their ongoing partnership with Sigma Capital Group.

Graham Barnet, CEO of Sigma Capital, said: “We recently celebrated a decade in single-family build-to-rent and this latest round of acquisitions shows that we are still consistently innovating and adding to our growing portfolio.

“With these four new sites, we’re not only expanding our footprint across key regions, but also enhancing the quality of the homes we deliver, working with our trusted partners. Our current pipeline of opportunity now sits at over £5bn GDC throughout the UK, confirming our position as the leading single-family housing provider in the country.

“As demand for high-quality family rental housing continues to grow, we’re proud to play a leading role in supporting housing delivery, offering a professionally managed, secure solution for our customers.”

Stephen Teagle, chief executive, partnerships and regeneration, Vistry Group, said: “We’re delighted to see this further extension of our long-standing partnership with Sigma Capital to deliver high-quality, professionally managed rental homes across the UK.

“These new developments reflect our shared commitment to accelerating housing delivery through diverse tenures, meeting local needs, and supporting the Government’s housing ambitions. Together, we’re creating thriving professionally managed communities with homes people are proud to live in.”
