    INDUSTRY UPDATE Real Estate July 2018 Generation rent grows up In our latest update on the real estate sector we examine the UK’s shift to the rental model as young families are priced out of home ownership, the growth in the build-to-rent market to meet this demand, and the effects and opportunities for residential developers, investors and local authority planning. Some would call it an obsession nearly as great as the UK’s This change in the renting model has attracted a new generation eccentric hang-up with the weather, yet home ownership – of developers and investors, keen to build and hold multi-family traditionally a long-held aspiration – is being eschewed by a units in urban locations and viewing their residential holdings generation priced out of urban homes, less materialistic and in the same way as their office and retail assets.

    This Northern England City Called York Or Jorvik, During the Viking Age, Is Quite Medieval in Terms of Cultural History

    History of York, England This northern England city called York or Jorvik, during the Viking age, is quite medieval in terms of cultural history. York is a tourist‐oriented city with its Roman and Viking heritage, 13th century walls, Gothic cathedrals, railroad station, museum‐gardens an unusual dinner served in a pub, and shopping areas in the Fossgate, Coppergate and Piccadilly area of the city. Brief History of York According to <historyofyork.org> (an extensive historical source), York's history began with the Romans founding the city in 71AD with the Ninth Legion comprising 5,000 men who marched into the area and set up camp. York, then was called, "Eboracum." After the Romans abandoned Britain in 400AD, York became known as "Sub Roman" between the period of 400 to 600AD. Described as an "elusive epoch," this was due to little known facts about that period. It was also a time when Germanic peoples, Anglo‐Saxons, were settling the area. Some archaeologists believe it had to do with devasting floods or unsettled habitation, due to a loss of being a trading center then. The rivers Ouse and Foss flow through York. <historyofyork.org> Christianity was re‐established during the Anglo‐Saxon period and the settlement of York was called "Eofonwic." It is believed that it was a commercial center tied to Lundenwic (London) and Gipeswic (Ipswich). Manufacturing associated with iron, lead, copper, wool, leather and bone were found. Roman roads made travel to and from York easier. <historyofyork.org> In 866AD, the Vikings attacked. Not all parts of England were captured, but York was.

    ECE Takes Over Build-To-Rent Properties in Manchester and Leeds with 1,750 Residential Units

    Creating Space. Inspiring People. PRESS RELEASE OCTOBER 8, 2020 ECE takes over build-to-rent properties in Manchester and Leeds with 1,750 residential units ECE has taken the next step in the strategic expansion of its activities in the British build-to-rent market by taking over two further apartment buildings in Manchester and Leeds, offering a total of approx. 1,750 residential units. The takeover became effective on completion of the buildings and ECE is now, together with a local build-to-rent specialist, responsible for their long-term operation and leasing which has already made significant progress shortly after completion. Another apartment building in Birmingham with over 320 residential units has already been taken over by ECE in spring 2020. In total, the build-to-rent portfolio held by the Otto family and managed by ECE now comprises a total of 2,100 residential units in the United Kingdom’s three biggest and economically strongest cities outside of London. “By taking over the two properties in Manchester and Leeds, we are expanding our activities in the build-to-rent business just as planned,” says Henrie W. Kötter, ECE Managing Director for the Work & Live business area. “We are convinced of the opportunities in this real-estate segment and believe that the strength and appeal of our offering has been effectively confirmed by the rapid and successful leasing of the apartments so shortly after completion.” ECE had entered the growing build-to-rent segment in spring which comprises the operation and renting out of fully equipped and furnished rental apartments that also include additional services.

  • Evidence Review

    Evidence Review

    Greater Manchester: Evidence Review November 2018 Greater Manchester: Independent Prosperity Review Background Paper 1 The Greater Manchester Prosperity Review In the 2017 Autumn Budget and as part of the city region’s sixth devolution deal, Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and Government agreed to work together to develop one of the UK’s first local industrial strategies. The GM Local Industrial Strategy will reflect the main themes of the national Industrial Strategy White Paper whilst taking a place- based approach that builds on the area’s unique strengths and ensures all people in Greater Manchester (GM) can contribute to, and benefit from, economic growth. A robust and credible evidence base is critical to underpin the Local Industrial Strategy and to make the case for what needs to be done to deliver growth for Greater Manchester and its residents. It will also be critical to ensure buy-in from local and national public and private stakeholders – building on the success of the Manchester Independent Economic Review (MIER)1 a decade ago. Development of the evidence base underpinning the Local Industrial Strategy is being taken forward under the Greater Manchester Independent Prosperity Review. The review is being led by a panel of independent experts chaired by Professor Diane Coyle (Bennett Professor of Public Policy, University of Cambridge). The other members of the panel are: Professor Ed Glaeser (Professor of Economics, Harvard University); Stephanie Flanders (Head of Bloomberg Economics); Professor Henry Overman (Professor of Economic Geography, London School of Economics); Professor Mariana Mazzucato (Professor in the Economics of Innovation, University College London); and Darra Singh (Government & Public Sector Lead at EY).
