Navigating Private Capital Trends and Long Income Strategies

At Brentor Property, we're always keen to stay ahead of the curve in the dynamic world of property investment. Recent insights from Knight Frank's The Wealth Report 2025 and their Long Income Breakfast have sparked some valuable discussions within our team, and we want to share our perspective with you.

Understanding Private Capital's Direction

Knight Frank's Wealth Report 2025 sheds light on key trends in high-net-worth (HNWI) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNWI) investment strategies. 

We've noted with interest the increasing demand for commercial real estate, with 44% of family offices looking to expand their allocation in the next 18 months. This aligns with our experience in the South East, where we see continued appetite for well-located, high-quality developments.

The report highlights specific sectors in demand, these include: 

• Offices | While the office sector has faced challenges, we recognise the importance of prime office spaces and adaptable workspaces that cater to evolving business needs.

• Living Sectors | This is a key area of focus for Brentor, as we develop residential properties that meet the diverse needs of modern lifestyles.

  
  

• Logistics | The demand for logistics and distribution facilities remains strong, and we see opportunities in this sector within our development strategy.

• Luxury Residential | Our commitment to high-quality residential developments positions us well to capitalise on the demand from affluent buyers.

• Hotels | While not our core focus, we appreciate the potential of the hospitality sector and its connection to the overall economic health of the regions where we operate.

We also acknowledge the growing influence of environmental concerns on investment decisions. 

At Brentor, we are committed to incorporating sustainability into our developments, recognising that energy-efficient and eco-friendly properties are increasingly attractive to both tenants and investors.

Long Income Market Dynamics | A Brentor View

Knight Frank's Long Income Breakfast provided valuable insights into this evolving investment strategy. We recognise the interest from various investor groups, including local government pension schemes (LGPS), defined contribution (DC) pension schemes, and insurers, in the long income market.

While acknowledging the impact of gilt and bond yield fluctuations on the long income market, we share the positive outlook for its future. At Brentor, our development projects can provide opportunities for long-term income generation, particularly in sectors with strong and stable demand.

Quality, Sustainability, and Long-Term Value

These insights from Knight Frank reinforce our commitment to:
