Valad is progressing co-living proposals across three sites in Glasgow, further expanding its presence in one of the UK’s strongest regional rental markets.

Valad will be attending the Real-World Asset Summit in New York on 1-2 September, bringing its perspective on the convergence of institutional real estate and on-chain finance to one of the leading events focused on the tokenisation of real-world assets.

The next phase of real-world asset tokenisation is moving beyond digitising ownership towards creating institutional financial primitives that can operate on-chain — and for real estate, that is where the opportunity becomes significant.

Tokenisation is moving beyond the digital asset industry and into the mainstream financial system, but real estate remains almost untouched — and that gap is where Valad sees the next opportunity.

Valad is advancing plans to bring its UK real estate private credit strategy on-chain through a structured issuance framework designed to provide greater transparency, capital protection and diversified access to institutional-quality real estate exposure.

Valad has more than 4,000 co-living units progressing through planning across London and the UK's strongest regional cities.

Valad is progressing proposals for a c.500,000 sq ft last-mile distribution facility at Omega North, one of the UK's established logistics locations.

Valad focuses on UK real estate where existing income provides a foundation for longer-term repositioning. The approach starts with the asset, not a predetermined business plan.

Valad's co-living strategy targets London and a select group of regional cities where housing demand exceeds the supply of professionally managed rental accommodation.

Covenant strength and income resilience sit at the centre of Valad's underwriting. With financing costs higher than through much of the last cycle, income quality matters more than headline yield.

Purpose-built student accommodation continues to be undersupplied in a number of UK university cities, where student numbers have grown faster than the delivery of new beds.

Value add, opportunistic and core plus are the three strategies Valad applies across its five sectors. Each describes a different balance of existing income, risk and required execution.

Valad acquires and manages assets where long-term ownership can unlock value beyond the initial purchase, combining income investments with development, planning and repositioning.
