Property
A market leader in sustainable investing
The Bridges Property Funds specialise in sustainable and impact-driven real estate investing. Since 2012, we have developed over £2bn of assets across 70+ transactions, delivering attractive investment returns alongside positive social and environmental impact.
Our fundamental analysis within Bridges’ key themes enables us to identify growth locations and alternative sectors where changing demographics and societal needs are boosting demand. We then source investment opportunities via our strong industry networks – often working in tandem with specialist joint venture partners – and apply our sustainability-led approach to building design and development. This enables us to create highly attractive, future-proofed assets that also support better outcomes for people and the planet.

New homes being built
Our thesis
Buildings and construction are responsible for roughly 40% of global carbon emissions. So the real estate sector has an absolutely critical role to play in the transition to net zero. At the same time, demographic and cultural shifts are fundamentally changing the way we live and work. We need new property solutions that reflect and address this demand, while also supporting broader economic growth.
At Bridges, we believe that investing in the built environment is imperative if we want to build a more sustainable and inclusive future. But it’s also a unique opportunity. By investing in real estate that helps to reduce carbon emissions, improve wellbeing, regenerate communities and address unmet needs, we can also tap into the growing demand for sustainable assets – enabling us to unlock substantial economic value.
“HUB and Bridges have developed thousands of homes together over the last decade. The strength of this relationship comes from our shared commitment to social value, sustainability and quality architecture, while also investing in local communities through improved infrastructure and new public realm.”
