Company Description

Grainger is one of the UK's largest public residential property investment firms. Founded in 1912, the company owns and manages some 14,000 apartment properties in the UK and another 7,000 in Germany. Its UK portfolio includes primarily tenanted rental homes (which are regularly sold upon being vacated), as well as nursing homes. The firm develops and brokers new residential and mixed-use properties, as well. Grainger is involved in a handful of joint ventures that are developing residential properties in other parts of Europe such as the Czech Republic. After slowing acquisitions during the economic downturn, Grainger stepped back up in 2010 to buy Sovereign Reversions, an equity release investment specialist.

    Competitive Landscape Brief

    The health of the economy drives demand for REITs as investment vehicles. Profitability depends on the value of the properties in the portfolio, which in turn highly depends on real estate vacancy rates. Large companies have advantages in deal-making, and economies of scale in marketing, computer and infrastructure investment, and operations. Smaller companies can compete by specializing not only in real estate type, but by geography, though geographic focus can increase risks.
