What is build to rent?

The aim of this trend is to facilitate access to housing for people who find it difficult to buy. In Spain, the real estate market is becoming increasingly expensive and demand is rising at the same time. According to Eurostat data, 75.1% of Spaniards lived in homes they owned in 2020. But the reality of this figure is changing due to the characteristics of the real estate market.

Interestingly, this trend has also diversified the market. There are flats for rent for people in need and luxury build to rent. In the country's main cities it has already spread under the name "build to rent prime".

The main feature of this business model is that the entire building belongs to one owner. It is an opportunity for investors who can take the risk. Because it can generate a return higher than the initial capital invested.

It seems that the trend is consolidating in the national market as an alternative to the traditional purchase.
