What is a Build-to-Rent and how does it work?
The Build to Rent (BTR) model, or “Build to Rent,” is based on developing housing exclusively for rent, whether for residential or tourist use. It emerged in the United Kingdom in the first decade of the 21st century, standing out in events such as the London 2012 Olympic Games, where homes built for athletes were reused as rentals. Currently, its popularity is growing due to the increase in the preference for renting rather than buying and the demand for independent tourist accommodation, attracting the interest of investors and banks.
What are the benefits of implementing Smart technology in a Build-to-Rent?
Incorporating Smart technology in Build to Rent (BTR) properties improves their profitability and attractiveness in the market, offering advantages such as:
- Increased energy efficiency: Optimization of energy consumption, reduction of carbon emissions and savings on utility bills.
- Reduced operating costs: Reduced maintenance and travel, improving management and saving time and money.
- Improved security and comfort: Access control, lighting, temperature and air quality with advanced technology, offering greater comfort.
- Tenant satisfaction: Features such as common area reservations, incident management and real-time notifications enhance the user experience.
- Differentiation in the market: Increases the value of the property, attracts investors and allows higher rents to be charged thanks to technological conveniences.
In addition, previous experiences have shown that Smart Buildings can manage up to 200% more properties, reduce incidents by 35%, increase rents by 27% and save 78% in operating costs.
What are the main characteristics of the BTR?
- It involves large companies and financial funds, mainly international, with high economic capacity.
- The management of the properties is professional, both for residential and tourist rentals.
- Private or public-private equity financing.
- Focused on large cities due to high population density and rental demand.
- Generates an attractive, but long-term return on investment
- It should not be confused with social housing, since it is not intended for people with low economic resources.
Is Build to Rent well established in Spain?
Build to Rent (BTR) in Spain is not yet fully consolidated, although its growth has been remarkable in recent years, driven by the growing demand for residential and tourist rentals. In 2020, it accounted for 27% of national real estate investment, up from 16% in 2010. In addition, the percentage of households renting rose from 13.9% in 2004 to 18.1% in 2019. Madrid leads BTR investment, reflecting its boom, especially in large cities.
