Case Study

Vertus

Canary Wharf, London

Build to Rent

Savills has worked alongside Canary Wharf Group for many years in the run up to the completion of their first building 10 George Street.

In 2019 Savills were formally instructed as joint agents to work alongside the Vertus team to identify the target audience, provide regular individual rental pricing and competition analysis prior to  launch. Several apartments were let prior to completion following a successful marketing campaign and achieved record values for the area.  

We are currently providing ongoing consultancy advice and letting services incorporating lessons learnt from initial launch and how the tenant profiles may differ given the evolution of the rental market in the local market and increased competition. Our on-site team is focused on the let up of the buildings and driving network engagement from our local offices across London.

The Vertus portfolio consist of 10 George Street (327 apartments), 8 Water Street (174 apartments) and Newfoundland (636 apartments).

We have worked with Savills since the launch of our Build to Rent Portfolio in 2019 – Lorenzo & Paul have shown considerable dedication to this instruction from the beginning ensuring complete buy in from not only their on-site teams, but the entire Savills network. Paul consistently provides professional, thorough updates, and is always quick to respond to anything we may need. A valuable partnership, and a pleasure to work with.
