Long Harbour boss on £1.5bn single-family housing ambitions

Long Harbour has set out plans to build a 5,000-home rental single-family housing platform in the next five years, with a total GDV of more than £1.5bn.

Speaking exclusively to EG's residential reporter Akanksha Soni, Jack Spearman, head of Long Harbour’s single-family housing platform, says the developer has plans to acquire and build more than 1,000 homes a year for its portfolio, which will be operated by its property management brand Way of Life.

Sowgol Zarinchang, managing director of Way of Life, also tells EG how she plans to operate the new platform - and the lessons learnt from multifamily.
