The two-day Madrid Study Tour will explore six groundbreaking developments in the BTR sector, highlighting innovation in design and operational excellence.

As part of the Madrid Study Tour, attendees will experience an exclusive mini-conference featuring:

  • A market overview of Spain's dynamic BTR sector.
  • Key insights into planning challenges, legal considerations, and investment trends.
  • Expert-led discussions on design innovations, operational strategies, and lessons learned from the UK and US markets.
  • Hear from Atlas, GAA, Chapman Taylor, DLA Piper, Gensler, and more industry leaders.

Madrid: A Thriving Hub for Build-to-Rent

The Spanish BTR market has reached new heights, with more than 11,000 homes now available—a 27% increase since 2022. Madrid continues to lead this growth, with a remarkable 115% rise in BTR units, climbing from 2,725 in 2022 to 5,859 in 2024.

Spain’s robust rental market continues to attract major institutional players, reinforcing its strategic importance for large-scale BTR investments.
