5 2018 Corporate Profile The Slate Yard, Salford. Our first build-to-rent scheme comprises 225 apartments designed to meet the bespoke demands of the rental market. Case Study Building homes for Britain Build-to-Rent schemes play an essential role in helping to solve the UK s chronic housing shortage. Our first such scheme, The Slate Yard in Salford, North-West England provided 225 apartments, designed specifically for the rental market. The scheme set a new standard for Build-to-Rent accommodation, making renting a choice not the only option. The scheme was designed with residents in mind. We spoke to renters and asked what they wanted and valued. The result was a variety of unit sizes and layouts, high quality interiors, attractive amenities, and onsite management and maintenance. We knew that location was also important, so the site was close to the heart of Manchester with good transport links for easy commuting. Given that there is no single demographic for Build-to-Rent, it follows that one size does not fit all. We worked to create living environments that could adapt accordingly, from flexible contracts to policies that encourage tenants to make their home their own. Solar panels were also installed to reduce the long-term running costs of communal spaces. 8 9

10 2018 Corporate Profile Case Study Breaking new ground in the US University of California. The first educational sector public-private partnership to take place in the US, our long term financing will help to nearly double the size of the University Campus. The difference between alternative real estate, infrastructure and corporate credit is becoming less distinct. In part, this reflects the growth of private / public sector partnerships, as well as the move by private entities into areas traditionally provided by the public sector. The integration of infrastructure and corporate credit into our Real Assets offering means we can take a holistic view of any opportunity and can look at transactions from different perspectives. When the University of California, Merced, was looking to expand its campus, we broke new ground by becoming part of the first educational private/ public sector partnership to take place in the US. Our strong track record in infrastructure, existing presence in the US and expertise across real assets meant we had longevity and the vision that the University of California needed in a partner. The financing will help to nearly double the size of the existing campus, adding new classrooms, laboratories, student accommodation and amenities to sustainably enhance student life and further academic distinction. In addition, it will help one of the poorest areas in California, creating new jobs and having a positive impact on the local community
