People Property Place #81 Honor Barratt, CEO of Birchgrove
At Birchgrove Honor and her team believe that renting instead of owning a home is the most liberating form of tenure and allows their residents to retain their independence without the burdens of homeownership.
Birchgrove, backed by Bridges Fund Management they operate a portfolio of assisted living developments with contemporary apartments for rent in brand-new, purpose-built facilities within and around the M25.
Honor has had a previous career in the television, broadcasting, production, and media world, before moving into the real estate space as a second career.
I sat down with Honor to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:
* Building a global media business and selling to private equity
* Transitioning to real estate as a second career
* Assisted living occupier avatar
* Desire for more competition in the assisted living space
* Building a team & traits she looks for
* Getting shit done
* Is a Labour Government good for Birchgrove?
* Intergenerational living
* Targeting a 2x and 20% return
Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Honor would invest should she have £500m of capital at her disposal.
