Rented retirement homes provider Birchgrove has celebrated the topping out of its 78-unit Hampton Court Estate development.
At the ceremony, Birchgrove CEO Honor Barratt inserted a ceremonial roof tile to mark the conclusion of the project’s construction.
Hampton Court Estate will offer self-contained assisted living one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments available to renters aged over 65, together with communal facilities including a restaurant, club room, licensed bar, wellness suite, library, and landscaped gardens.
Having launched its first community in 2019, Birchgrove currently operates four rented communities in the South-East, with a further community in Godalming, Surrey set to open later this year. Hampton Court Estate will be the sixth Birchgrove community to open, and the second in London after Mill Hill, when it opens in 2025, with a further three communities currently under construction.
Birchgrove CEO Honor Barratt said: “I’m immensely proud to have topped out our sixth baby. We only delivered our first in 2019, so to be scaling at this rate is both a testament to the Birchgrove team and our backers and a clear indicator of surging market demand for high quality senior living rented accommodation. We’re so excited to be launching Hampton Court Estate in 2025 – the local oldies won’t know what hit them.”
