CBRE has advised Barratt London on the sale of a turnkey build‑to‑rent (BTR) asset comprising 140 homes at Eastman Village, Harrow.
The transaction comprises two unbroken residential blocks within Barratt London’s established Eastman Village masterplan and has been acquired by LRC, a pan‑European real estate private equity investment firm.
Located a 10‑minute walk from Harrow & Wealdstone Station, Eastman Village will ultimately deliver around 2,200 homes across nearly 30 acres, alongside new retail, education and leisure amenities.
The sale reflects continued investor demand for high quality unbroken turnkey blocks, that are ready for occupation. This was evident in Q1 2026, when the UK Living sector recorded £2.5 billion of investment, up 74% year‑on‑year, with more than £800 million transacted in BTR assets, according to CBRE research.
This transaction underlines the strength of demand for high‑quality, income‑ready residential assets. Against a backdrop of structural undersupply and resilient rental demand, investors will continue to be attracted to assets that offer speed to income and operational certainty. We are pleased to have worked with Shane Kanabar of Barratt London and Mital Patel of LRC, to deliver this transaction.
Investment from LRC into Eastman Village underlines demand for well-connected homes in the capital. Eastman Village exemplifies Barratt London’s commitment to delivering high-quality homes in London at scale, transforming the historic Kodak factory into a new community in the heart of Harrow.
