Real Estate is investing £67m (€76m) to develop 148 build-to-rent homes in North London.
M&G Real Estate said the Montrose Crescent scheme, which is expected to be ready by 2019, will be developed by Sunbel Development.
It is the latest development financing on behalf of M&G Real Estate’s UK Residential Property Fund managed by Alex Greaves.
Greaves said: “This is our eighth funding deal in three years to finance much-needed homes catering for a range of demographics.�
The company said it recently completed the Rehearsal Rooms apartments in North Acton, the first institutionally funded build-to-rent scheme to complete in modern times.
Greaves said the company has had an “overwhelming amount of enquiries� for The Rehearsal Rooms, which is almost fully let, reflecting the call for professionally managed homes in well-connected areas across London.
“This strong demand presents long-term growth potential and considerable diversification benefits for investors.
“M&G Real Estate has a substantial residential development pipeline which offers a major opportunity for institutional investors looking to capitalise on the UK residential sector.�
Launched in 2013, M&G Real Estate’s UK residential property strategy has 687 built homes with another 1016 in development.
