Related Argent has completed a £188.7 million refinancing of the first two Build to Rent assets at Brent Cross Town, supported by HSBC UK and Barclays UK Corporate Bank at an average loan-to-value of 60 per cent.
The deal marks a major vote of confidence in the 180-acre regeneration project and in the performance of its residential offer.
The two buildings, collectively known as The Maple, deliver 540 homes in Barnet, a borough with limited BTR supply. Their strong leasing momentum has been helped by a mix of bold design, hospitality-led management and a resident experience focused on high-quality amenities, including a 25-metre swimming pool, gym, fitness studio, wellness facilities, rooftop terrace, co-working space and virtual entertainment room.
Related Argent now operates 720 BTR homes and has 1,400 more in development, including 484 homes at Ferry Island in Tottenham Hale due to launch later this year. Brent Cross Town itself is one of Europe’s largest regeneration schemes and, when complete, will provide up to 6,700 homes alongside affordable housing, homes for sale, co-living, PBSA and senior living, plus retail, parks, schools and office space.
Oli Rifkind, chief development officer, Related Argent: said: “Securing this quantum of funding from two leading banks, at a time when the market remains selective, demonstrates the confidence that lenders continue to place in our approach.”
The refinancing highlights continued institutional appetite for well-located, professionally managed rental housing and strengthens Brent Cross Town’s position as a long-term destination for residents, investors and businesses alike.
