Quintain Living targets growth as Build-to-Rent platform marks 10 years
Wembley Park operator plans to more than double its residential management platform.
11 June 2026
Quintain Living has unveiled plans to more than double the size of its Build-to-Rent platform as the company celebrates a decade of operations in the UK rental living sector.
The Wembley Park-based operator, which currently manages more than 3,500 homes across the north-west London neighbourhood, is expanding into third-party management, offering its operational expertise to institutional landlords, developers and investors.
The move represents a significant milestone for one of the UK's earliest Build-to-Rent pioneers and reflects the increasing maturity of the operational living sector, where long-term asset management and resident experience are becoming as important as development and delivery.
Launched in 2016 with a team of seven people, Quintain Living has grown into a business employing around 100 staff and managing a portfolio that generates more than £7.5 million in monthly rental income.
The platform now forms a central part of Wembley Park's wider 85-acre mixed-use neighbourhood, where Quintain has delivered more than 4,300 purpose-built rental homes across eight residential communities. A further 2,700 homes remain in the development pipeline.
Quintain believes opening its platform to external clients could see the business more than double in size over the medium term.
The company attributes much of its growth to a vertically integrated operating model that combines property management, technology, customer service and placemaking within a single platform.
More than £3 million has been invested in proprietary technology systems that support the resident journey, including digital leasing, resident services and building management functions. The company says 40% of lettings transactions are now completed without prospective residents visiting a property in person.
Technology has also become a key part of the platform's sustainability strategy. Quintain has developed its own utility monitoring system, enabling energy and water consumption to be tracked at 15-minute intervals across individual homes, helping identify inefficiencies and maintenance requirements.
Alongside digital innovation, the company continues to emphasise hospitality-led management, with on-site concierge teams, maintenance staff and community managers supporting residents across the Wembley Park estate.
The announcement highlights the growing importance of operational expertise within the Build-to-Rent sector, as investors increasingly focus on long-term income performance, resident retention and asset optimisation.
James Riddell, chief executive of Quintain, said: “Quintain Living was created to redefine what high-quality, professionally managed rental living can look like in the UK.
“After 10 years of operations, our platform is stronger, more mature and more capable than ever. With our scale, expertise and long-term vision, we are exceptionally well placed for the next stage of growth.”
The planned expansion comes as the Build-to-Rent market continues to evolve beyond development activity, with operators increasingly seeking to leverage their management platforms and operational capabilities across wider portfolios.
