We are proud to announce that our 391-home development in Surrey has secured forward funding from global real estate company Greystar Real Estate Partners following a competitive bidding process.

Dandara Living will act as developer and contractor for the site, which is in an attractive location with strong transport links to London. Construction on the site is due to start later this year, with completion expected in the second half of 2026.

Occupying a prime location adjacent to Staines-Upon-Thames town centre, just five minutes’ walk from the train station, Renshaw’s Yard also benefits from an array of on-site amenities that support a thriving community lifestyle including a lounge, private dining room, co-working space, gym, and private courtyard gardens.

Harry Downes, Managing Director – UK Investment, Greystar, said: “The acquisition of Renshaw’s Yard will provide much-needed rental housing in Surrey, a region constrained by limited supply but fast-growing demand for a high-quality rental product. Part of the M3 local enterprise corridor, and adjacent to the M4 tech corridor housing several global creative and technology companies, Staines provides excellent proximity to employment hubs and is increasingly attracting new talent to the region. This has led to significant residential-led regeneration in the areas, with approximately 1,750 apartments currently in the pipeline to house existing and new residents drawn to Staines well-connected location paired with enviable riverside living.”

Jim Davies continues: "Securing this deal with Greystar represents a significant milestone for Dandara Living and recognition of our position as a key player in the UK’s BTR sector. It’s taken a huge team effort to bring this deal to the table and get it over the line, and I’d like to thank everyone involved for their contribution.”

“Our extensive in-house experience and expertise in site acquisition, delivery, mobilisation and operation of large-scale BTR multi-family schemes is a unique combination that sets us apart from many other developers. Our track record includes managing close to 3,000 apartments delivered by Dandara Living, the majority on behalf of third-party investors, with sites secured to bring forward a further 5,000 apartments and PBSA beds, as we continue to expand our development footprint through direct acquisitions and partnerships in prime regional city centres, London and the Southeast.”

Work on the site is due to commence in the next couple of months, with completion anticipated in Q3 – Q4 of 2026.
