This week we take a look at the future of design in the rental sector, specifically build to rent: homes designed for rent instead of sale. Our 2020 multihousing report forecasts that this year will be a record year for investment into UK build to rent stock, with a figure topping £4bn for the whole year. But at this pivotal moment, how will current developments need to adapt and what will future buildings look like? Residential Research Partner, Oliver Knight, explains why the sector has remained relatively resilient to the pandemic and CEO and co-founder of HomeViews, Rory Cramer, discusses what tenants are looking for and why converting offices into residential can make sense if thought through properly.Intelligence Talks, is a podcast from the Research Team at Knight Frank. Every Monday and Friday we’ll be bringing you the latest insights on property market trends and forecasts, along with expert analysis from industry leaders.This podcast breaks down the news and delves into the intelligence behind the headlines. Follow us on social media here:Instagram - @knightfrankTwitter - @knightfrankLinkedIn - @Knight Frank Host: Anna Ward - @annaroxelanaProducer: Rebecca Hills - @beckihills1Editor: Pulama KaufmanAny questions?
