Delivering 104 high-spec self-contained studios on an ultra-constrained site through top-down construction, the project achieved near-full occupancy within months and operates at 98% let. Backed by 20 years of residential and hospitality expertise, it fuses long-term housing stability with hotel-grade amenities—wellness classes, coworking spaces, included massages, and premium communal areas. Designed by award-winning Assael Architecture, the scheme maximises space, light, and connectivity on a narrow plot between a railway line and busy road. Its modular-led construction strategy reduced carbon footprint, improved build efficiency, and delivered quality at scale. Energy systems include air source heat pumps, MVHR for continuous filtered air, and smart controls throughout. Tenants benefit from included services—free coffee, weekly fitness sessions, and social events—all embedded into rent, enhancing value and reducing churn. The project has demonstrated excellent financial performance and operational efficiency, setting a benchmark for scalable co-living returns. With high tenant satisfaction and robust ESG credentials, Diff-rent Living Harrow is more than a housing project—it’s a resilient, high-yield investment blueprint now being scaled at Abbey Wood with 477 co-living beds and a 110-room hotel.
