At 16:15 (Madrid time) on Tuesday 21 September, Michael will speaking about the Build-to-Rent sector, expanding on some of the issues he explored in his recent Insight papers on the sector, including the excellent template that Build-to-Rent offers for post-Covid residential design and the ways in which Build-to-Rent developments must be future-proofed for future consumer behaviour.

With experience working on award-winning residential projects, Michael is helping to lead the expansion of our Build-to-Rent residential portfolio across the United Kingdom, including high-profile developments at Flax Place in Leeds and Kampus and Anchorage Gateway in Manchester. He speaks regularly at Build-to-Rent industry events, explaining why Chapman Taylor believes that the format is an important element in tackling the UK’s housing crisis as well as helping to provide the basis for a strong sense of community in towns and cities.

Then, at 17:00 (Madrid time) on Wednesday 22 September, Jorge will be presenting Chapman Taylor’s Umbrellahaus® modular residential concept and its potential application to provide much-needed, affordable and flexible homes, of varying sizes and types, at scale and speed in the UK and internationally. The concept is also applicable in the hotel sector, providing operators with a future-proofed and easily adaptable hotel format.
