Founded in 2020, McLaren Living has a pipeline of over £1.7bn, while also progressing mixed-use regeneration development opportunities in major cities across the UK.
McLaren Living works closely with landowners to maximise development value and partners with institutional funders to deliver sustainable, community-led residential and mixed-use developments.
We look beyond simple buildability efficiencies and think about what we can do as a design developer to collaboratively enhance the project’s eventual value. By focusing on quality of living, sustainable materials, and community integration, we ensure the development not only meets current needs but also creates lasting, vibrant residential spaces for the future.
Residential areas of focus
Affordable Homes
McLaren’s track record of delivering affordable homes has given us a keen understanding of how to be successful within the sector. We have established a long-standing supply chain of sub-contractors, forging partnerships to deliver high-quality and durable homes, often within challenging budgets.
Build to Rent (BTR)
Experienced in BTR frameworks, McLaren have extensive expertise in product innovation focusing on long term asset ownership in larger, purpose-designed blocks. For BTR projects, we concentrate on design flexibility with joined-up communal services and base product specifications, whilst creating scope to change superficial finishing over the long term.
High Rise living
Our specialist team have delivered numerous towers and understand how to manage people and materials during a high-rise building project, and how to secure an envelope whilst the frame progresses at height. Expertise includes the complexities of external cladding systems, fire safety and the unique challenges associated with developing multiple apartments floor by floor.
