Regenter

Regenter, our joint venture with John Laing plc, bids for, invests in and operates housing-led Public Private Partnerships (PPP's) and is firmly established as the market leader for Private Finance Initiative (PFI) within the UK housing sector.  Our success in this field draws on our unique combination of project finance skills, a deep understanding of the needs of residents and a clear focus on the regeneration of failing communities.

Traditional housing PFI has succeeded in providing a standard procurement method and long-term funding mechanism to finance essential capital for social housing investment. It has also facilitated the operational expertise necessary to regenerate and transform our most deprived neighbourhoods over a typical concession period of 30 years.  That said, moving forward we recognise the need to build on the success of PFI principles through the development of new and innovative investment models. We welcome an emerging PPP market characterised by less reliance on central government subsidy, greater structural flexibility and an even stronger focus on transformative outcomes that are not simply based on the short term improvement of  the physical fabric but allow for the creation of sustainable communities where people want to live.

PPP's allow us to draw on our project finance experience and housing expertise in order to secure healthy, predictable investor returns as fair reward for the delivery of measurable and sustainable social returns. Our main purpose is to combine optimum solutions tailored to meet specified quality criteria with the creation of tangible value within the communities in which we invest. In this way, our commercial risks and rewards are completely aligned.

For us, housing-led regeneration is an inevitable extension to our existing work within communities. As regenerators, working alongside all stakeholders, we want to play our full part in funding, planning, designing, building and managing whole residential communities; the Total Place.  Our regeneration solutions are driven by community needs with our focus as much on the people who live there as the place itself.
