About The PRS REIT

Through its Investment Adviser, Sigma PRS Management Ltd, The PRS REIT has visibility on the potential delivery of over 10,000 new homes through construction framework agreements in place with house building partners and strong relationships with local authorities.

 

The Company has reached a mature stage of the delivery programme, and anticipates delivering its 5,000th completed home by the end of 2022. It continues to target a portfolio of 5,700 homes with an ERV of £55m per annum. The PRS REIT was the first London-quoted REIT solely focused on developing new build family homes in the private rented sector.

Having committed all of the capital raised in our May 2017 IPO ahead of schedule, we again looked to our corporate brokers Singer Capital Markets to assist with a follow on raise under the placing programme. The team worked with us to refine the investment proposition and designed a targeted and efficient marketing process to deliver another vitally important fundraising for The PRS REIT. The transaction was exceptionally well executed and generated substantial early demand which enabled us to bring forward the planned closing date of the placing by almost two weeks – an excellent outcome for all stakeholders.
