The new community is situated in the vibrant area of Keresley, Coventry. The Meadows is part of a broader Sustainable Urban Extension, offering residents access to over 100 acres of natural space, including ancient woodland and essential community facilities including schools, retail, and primary healthcare.
The Meadows represents a bold leap forward in the rental housing sector. With LRG's unmatched expertise in property management and L&G’s unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional housing solutions, this partnership promises to provide residents with an unparalleled living experience.
The homes are designed with sustainability in mind, featuring energy-efficient solutions including air-source heat pumps, solar panels and electric vehicle (EV) charging points. Keresley is an attractive family location with excellent transport connections, including a 20-minute bus ride to Coventry city centre, and rail links to Birmingham and London.
L&G launched its Build to Rent Fund in 2017 and by early 2025 had developed over 6,000 homes across major towns and cities in the UK. The suburban BTR sector has historically seen less investment than its urban counterpart, with less than 1% of the suburban market receiving patient capital, compared to around 6% for urban areas. L&G is addressing this gap, recognising the demand for high-quality family homes for rent in suburban areas, and is taking a leading role in developing the suburban rental sector.
Justine Edmonds, Director, Build to Rent at LRG, commented, “We are thrilled to be appointed to manage The Meadows. The BTR market surged in 2024, expanding beyond city apartment complexes into suburban communities.
“BTR suburban communities have evolved to meet the demand for family-oriented living solutions. Unlike traditional BTR, this new iteration focuses on suburban locations rather than city centres, catering to families rather than young professionals, and offering houses instead of apartments. These communities typically feature shared outdoor spaces, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
“The Meadows is a great example of where the market is heading - well-designed, energy-efficient homes that combine the quality and service standards of BTR with the space and lifestyle that families are looking for. It’s an exciting opportunity to bring that vision to life in Coventry.”
