About

Our vision

We are creating quality rental homes for Londoners and building sustainable communities where people from all backgrounds can live, connect and thrive

Transport for London is not only responsible for 30 million journeys every day, but is also one of the Capital’s largest landowners. It’s helping deliver the Mayor’s strategy and commitments on transport, housing and growth by providing an initial 10,000 homes across 320 sites in its long-term development pipeline with all revenue being reinvested in keeping London moving.

Our journey

Transport for London

In September 2018, Transport for London began its search for an investment partner to deliver over 3,000 quality rental homes across London after it identified Build to Rent as an opportunity to generate a sustainable revenue stream and create communities where people can live, work and thrive.

Three possible investment partners were shortlisted later that year, including Grainger plc who were identified as the preferred bidder in March 2019.

Our journey

Build to Rent

Grainger, the UK’s largest listed residential landlord, is a market leader in the UK’s private rented sector, committed to delivering high quality homes where people want to live. Grainger’s aligned values, expertise, and proven track record within Build to Rent were key to Transport for London announcing them as its preferred bidder.

Our journey

Grainger plc

Together, Grainger and Transport for London became Connected Living London – a long-term strategic partnership. We will deliver thousands of new homes across London, 40% of which will be affordable.

We will create places that work both for existing and future residents, and we will provide quality homes that are affordable and sustainable.

Our journey

Connected Living London

Our portfolio continues to evolve; and we are currently providing over 1,500 homes across 5 sites throughout London. We expect to add further locations to our portfolio over time, all with exceptional connectivity.

Our Build to Rent vision

CLL was established with an ambition of creating London’s leading mixing tenure rental communities, providing excellent service in a place where residents feel secure and are happy to call “home”. Our homes will be designed specifically for renters, and our long-term, flexible tenancy agreements will give residents security. Our residents will benefit from professional management through dedicated onsite teams, and a range of resident amenities, such as a residents lounge, co-working hubs, gyms and outdoor spaces. All our amenity spaces will encourage interaction between residents helping develop a community, while the newly transformed public spaces have the potential to bring existing and new members of the community together.
