As we enter the new year, UPG is expanding its Development Partnership Model, bringing together landowners, investors and delivery expertise to unlock high-quality residential and mixed-use opportunities.

UPG is structured to support projects end-to-end, from sourcing land and structuring corporate setup and financing through to planning, construction and operation, with a clear focus on alignment, transparency and delivery certainty. Our model is designed to help partners convert potential into performance by combining development leadership with capital to create valuable assets.

As we begin engaging with new equity investors, our focus is on building long-term relationships with aligned capital that values disciplined underwriting, robust governance and a high-performance delivery platform. If you are an investor seeking exposure to well-structured Living sector opportunities alongside an experienced delivery partner, we would welcome a conversation.

From the outset, the project demanded careful planning and precise execution. Key challenges included the assembly of multiple land parcels, construction of an eight-storey in-situ concrete frame without a tower crane, and just-in-time logistics delivered under tight central-London constraints (including operating without road closures). The build also required complex interface management, including cantilevering over a UK Power Networks substation.

At approximately 22.5 meters, the building falls within the scope of the Building Safety Act regime for higher-risk buildings (HRBs), bringing additional compliance and assurance requirements throughout delivery.

We are extremely proud of this achievement and would like to thank our subcontractors, consultants, stakeholders and project team for their commitment, collaboration and professionalism. Set moments from some of the world’s most recognisable landmarks including Big Ben, St James’s Park and Buckingham Palace, St. James’s Residences is a standout addition to this remarkable part of London.

Unique Property Group (UPG) has commenced works on a new-build residential project in Hampshire, delivering 56 private apartments in an exceptionally well-connected town-centre location.

The scheme comprises two five-storey blocks linked by a landscaped first-floor podium garden, with approximately 70 secure undercroft parking spaces at ground level. The unit mix — 16 one-bedroom, 33 two-bedroom and 7 three-bedroom apartments — is well aligned with local demand and commuter-led occupier profiles.

The development benefits from excellent transport connectivity, with Aldershot railway station approximately a two-minute walk from the site, providing direct services to London Waterloo in circa 50–60 minutes. Aldershot is also undergoing significant residential-led regeneration, with a number of national housebuilders active in the area, supporting strong occupier interest.

With robust rental demand underpinned by relative affordability versus neighbouring commuter towns and strong connectivity, the scheme is well positioned to deliver stabilised rental income on completion.

Unique Property Group (UPG) has successfully completed the land acquisition for a new-build 56-apartment residential scheme in Hampshire (Aldershot). The project will be delivered in partnership with a UK private finance lender and professional investors seeking to build a long-term, income-producing UK rental portfolio.

The acquisition further strengthens UPG’s partnership-led delivery model, providing a turnkey solution from origination through to operational handover. UPG will establish the project corporate structure, arrange and manage the construction finance, and lead the scheme through planning, design and construction.

On completion, UPG will support the transition to a stabilised investment by refinancing the construction facility and implementing the rental and property management platform, enabling investors to benefit from a professionally delivered and operated Build-to-Rent asset.

Unique Property Group (UPG) has secured a new development partnership with private clients and has been appointed as Development Manager and Construction Manager/Principal Contractor to originate and deliver a new Build-to-Rent (BTR) project that will be retained for long-term income.

UPG will provide a turnkey delivery solution across the full project lifecycle. This includes establishing the project SPV, sourcing appropriate development finance, and managing the land acquisition process. UPG will then lead the planning strategy, coordinate the design team, and oversee delivery through construction to practical completion.

On completion, UPG will support the transition from development to operation by refinancing the construction facility with an investment loan and setting up the rental management platform to ensure a smooth operational handover. The project will then be transferred to the investment stakeholders for a targeted 5–10 year hold, delivering stable, long-term income.

If you are a landowner or investor exploring a Build-to-Rent strategy, please contact UPG to discuss partnership opportunities.

We take pride in cultivating relationships that are not just transactional but transformational, allowing us to deliver developments that exceed expectations and create lasting value for all involved.
