The Experts at GAA Provide Executive Level Insights and Strategies that Mitigate the Risk and Maximise the Value of Your Build-to-Rent Scheme. 

There are numerous countries in the early stages of developing build-to-rent (BTR) apartment schemes similar to what has existed in the U.S. for several decades. And with good reason: the U.S. apartment industry has evolved to be a sophisticated asset class, setting an exciting new standard for design, development, technology integrations, operational excellence, resident experience, and, of course, financial performance. 
 
GAA brings 25+ years of apartment industry expertise to the build-to-rent industry around the world.  What's more, our direct experience on large-scale real estate schemes - such as Wembley Park in London, Potsdamer Platz in Berlin and Stuyvesant Town / Peter Cooper Village in New York City - affords us valuable insight into how business is done at the local level to provide the best strategic solutions that best practices, mitigate risk, diminish the learning curve, and optimise the value of your investment.
