Overview
Living is a portfolio strategy, not a product.
Institutional capital is consolidating exposure across the living continuum — from co-living and PBSA through BTR and SFR to seniors and affordable — and PDB advises on origination, delivery and management across all of it. Local partnerships with landowners, planning consultants and operators sit inside our platform.
Themes we're tracking
The forces reshaping the sector.
01
Affordability
Home ownership out of reach for a growing majority; rental demand structural.
02
Institutionalisation
Insurance and pension capital rotating into BTR and SFR for inflation-linked income.
03
Amenitisation
Amenity underwriting drives 10–15% rent premiums and 20% lower churn.
04
PBSA
Purpose-built student housing under-supplied in every tier-1 university city we cover.
05
Seniors living
Ageing population and thin domiciliary care creating institutional-grade demand.
06
Regulation
Rent caps, licensing and building-safety regimes tightening; operational underwriting mandatory.
