Godwin Developments has agreed a joint-venture equity partnership with Brookfield, the Canadian multinational company. They are one of the world’s largest alternative investment management companies with $850 billion of assets under management, operating in 30+ countries across five continents.

The partnership will focus on creating a portfolio of professionally managed homes across the UK urban and suburban BTR markets. This is also known as SFH (single family housing) and MFH (multi family housing).

Godwin Developments is launching this nationwide build-to-rent (BTR) platform working as an equity investor in the partnership alongside Brookfield. Lesley Roberts (formally of Allsops BTR division) who joined Godwin in 2023 will head up this JV alongside Stephen Pratt, one of the co-founders of Godwin Developments.

The focus is on creating high-quality, professionally managed homes with strong ESG credentials that appeal to residents of all ages and life stages – from singles to sharers, to couples, families and downsizers.
