'The M&G UK Residential Fund is one of the largest in the sector having committed over £800 million to date. Our in-house research identified Reading as meeting our investment criteria given its strong employment and transport connectivity. We have as an organisation worked with Campbell Gordon for a long time and knew that they would be the right partner for us to find the best opportunities in this location. They did an excellent job unearthing and identifying a number of options, and pursuing them on our behalf with great persistence. This ultimately resulted in our forward fund and purchase of Thames Quarter, which at 315 units is one of the most significant build to rent schemes in the south East of the UK. Campbell Gordon's vigour and determination were key to achieving our commercial objectives and ultimately acquiring the interest. We remain highly acquisitive and Campbell Gordon are working with us to acquire further assets in the Thames Valley, London and elsewhere.'
