How do we unlock the next generation of affordable housing delivery in London – and make it investable at scale?
In this episode of Invested in London: Partnerships Shaping the City, Journalist Emily Wright is joined by Jace Tyrrell, Chief Executive, Opportunity London and David Walker, Chief Financial & Investment Officer, Major Housing Association, to explore how innovative delivery models, public-sector backing and institutional capital can work together to tackle one of London’s most urgent challenges.
The conversation unpacks how Major Housing Association has grown from just eight affordable homes to a secure pipeline of 1,700 units in just three years, using an agile, end-to-end model that identifies stalled sites, enhances planning value and delivers high-quality homes efficiently.
Jace builds on this by sharing Opportunity London’s wider ambition to help shape a London Housing Fund, designed to aggregate pipeline, blend return profiles and unlock significant pools of capital already sitting within London’s pension ecosystem.
A thoughtful discussion on how London can continue to lead as a global city by turning housing need into investable opportunity.
