BCorp sustainable developer, igloo Regeneration, has unveiled new open market rental housing offering to enhance neighborhood diversity and improve housing accessibility, with the long-term objective of creating more inclusive communities nationwide.  

With high demand for housing across the country, this approach allows more people to access an igloo home, in a mixed-tenure environment that supports the social fabric of the community, blending ownership and rental options on one site. 

Rental options have already been successfully launched, alongside market sale and affordable, across a number of igloo’s current regeneration projects in Leeds, Nottingham and Glasgow – with more to come in Newcastle, Winchester, Sunderland, Cornwall and elsewhere. 

John Long, Executive Director at igloo Regeneration said: “We’ve always wanted more people to be able to live in an igloo home. Now, as part of Thriving Investments and Places for People, we’re able to create rental models to enable this to happen. It means that a wider variety of people can access an igloo quality, sustainable home, building more vibrant neighborhoods that welcome everyone.  And, with more routes to market, it also means that we can build more homes, faster – extending our role in dealing with this country’s housing crisis. 

“This initiative marks the beginning of a broader vision, as we plan to scale up with opportunities for third party investment and replicate the model across future igloo developments, ensuring that more communities benefit from the same opportunities for balanced and flexible living.”
