Quintain

Company Overview

Quintain is a London-based property development and asset management business best known as the team behind Wembley Park, one of the capital's most significant regeneration projects. Across a thirty-year history the company has specialised in taking underused assets and turning them into places where people want to live, companies want to grow and neighbourhoods can come alive - a description that captures its focus on long-term placemaking rather than single-building development.

Wembley Park

Wembley Park is the defining project in the portfolio and the UK's largest single-site Build to Rent community. The scheme transformed the land around Wembley Stadium from an event-day car park into a permanent mixed-use neighbourhood with homes, retail, workspace, hotels, public realm and cultural venues. It is also a live case study in how to develop around a major stadium, where event-day crowds and everyday residential life have to coexist.

Core Services

Build to Rent Property Management

Quintain Living operates the company's Build to Rent platform, combining scale, smart design and hospitality-style service to deliver high-occupancy, tech-enabled rental communities. The in-house operating model gives Quintain direct control of the resident experience rather than outsourcing it, which in turn informs how future buildings are designed.

Masterplanning

Long-horizon masterplanning covers phasing, land use, density, movement, public realm and the sequencing of infrastructure - the decisions that determine whether a district works twenty years after the first building completes.

Construction Delivery

The business manages construction delivery across large multi-phase programmes, coordinating contractors, logistics and handover into operations on constrained urban sites.

Development Advisory

Quintain offers advisory services to third-party clients, drawing on its own experience as developer, investor and operator to advise on scheme viability, phasing and operational strategy.

Developing Around Stadia

A specialist strand of work focused on regeneration next to sports and event venues, where transport surges, security requirements, licensing and community relations shape what can be built and how it must be managed.

Build to Rent Expertise

Build to Rent differs fundamentally from build-for-sale: revenue depends on retention, service quality and operating cost over decades, not on a sales programme at completion. Quintain's integration of development and operations under one roof aligns those incentives, and its multi-award-winning Quintain Living team is frequently cited as a benchmark for the UK BTR sector.

Sustainability and Placemaking

Sustainability is treated at neighbourhood scale - energy strategy, transport, biodiversity and the social infrastructure that makes a district function. Because Quintain retains and operates much of what it builds, the long-term running cost and environmental performance of its assets remain its own responsibility.

Market Position

Quintain occupies a distinctive position in UK real estate as a combined developer, investor, operator and adviser. That vertical integration is rare, and it gives the company an unusually complete picture of how design decisions translate into operational outcomes and long-term value.

Why AEC Teams Track Quintain

For teams working on large-scale urban regeneration, Build to Rent or stadium-adjacent development, Quintain offers an instructive model of how development, construction and long-term operation can be aligned within a single organisation.
