UKAA Webinar – How has the pandemic impacted the future of apartment living? By Quadient

Tuesday 5th October 2021

The pandemic changed the way people live, work and shop. Some changes are likely to stick and have a lasting impact on the choices Build to Rent (BTR) residents make. For owner-operators of BTR apartments, this raises the question of how future accommodation will meet residents’ needs.

In this webinar, a panel of industry experts discuss the four key impacts the pandemic could have on future apartment living, and what that means for residents, developers and building management.

 

Topics covered include:

  • Space-planning and how residents use of space has changed
  • The demand for more convenient, self-service amenities
  • The move towards a greener BTR industry
  • The use of technology to create smarter buildings
