Wembley Park, a Quintain Living development, is the largest, single Build to Rent site in the UK. Landsby is a 295-unit building in the heart of Wembley Park managed by Quintain’s rental platform, Tipi. The complex was designed to be lifestyle-led and has an onsite gym and roof terraces that host yoga and Pilates sessions. Quintain Living have strived to prioritise health and wellbeing in their development.
The Objective
By achieving an AirScore it was anticipated that the third-party assessment of indoor air quality (IAQ) would provide a unique differentiator in an otherwise flat market for BTR marketing collateral. The AirScore would serve to translate and communicate the investment that had been made in creating high quality, healthy environments to prospective and current tenants.
The Outcome
Landsby achieved AirScore Gold. The new build site performed very well across the five IAQ parameters measured; PM2.5, CO2, TVOCs, temperature and humidity. This was a result of the quality of the finishes chosen for the furnished apartments (paints, flooring and soft furnishings), pedestrianised streets surrounding the development and exceptional building design. The AirRated report outlined a number of ways the building operator and building occupants could maintain good IAQ throughout the lifetime of the building.
The Benefits
Landsby’s AirScore was promoted in industry press including Prime Resi, Estates Gazette and Building & Facilities Management magazine. Displaying the certification plaque in reception sparked interest with current residents acting as a unique engagement tool. In addition, the AirScore provided Quintain with the opportunity to provide positive assurances on the quality of their developments.
“We’re delighted with our AirScore certification – we’re proud to have set an extremely high standard for residential developers and have worked hard at ensuring our indoor air quality is the best it can be for our residents. We will continue to strive for these results across our other developments as we deliver 8,500 homes at Wembley Park”
