Our Partners
Having an excellent network of people around the business is essential to maintain our approach to development.
The relationships we have built with governmental organisations, local authorities, leading housing associations, contractors, joint venture partners, estate agents and our investors are critical to helping us maintain our position as an innovative market leader.
We understand that we can realise our aspirations and goals in a much more efficient way by working alongside a trusted network of partners. This approach helps us to have access to a wider network of resources and develop unique market insights, while improving our service offering and growing our business.
We have been proud to announce pioneering funding injections from BGF (formerly the Business Growth Fund), Homes England, the government’s housing accelerator and the Greater London Authority (GLA). The mixture of funding from the most innovative bodies to invest in new housing reflects great confidence in our offering, our team and our approach to airspace development.
Furthermore, we are members of London First and London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), allowing us to be part of industry leading events and build a more extensive network of contacts.

Homes England
At the start of 2019, Communities Secretary Rt Hon James Brokenshire announced a three-year, £9million partnership between Apex and Homes England. The pioneering funding will support us in delivering five sites across London, in turn helping address the Capital’s housing shortage. The project is being funded from the Government’s £4.5 billion Home Building Fund.
Gordon More, Chief Investment Officer for Homes England, said: “This funding will enable Apex to deliver new homes in areas of high need on existing rooftops. It will do so using modern methods of construction to increase the speed and quality of the homes, with minimal disruption to existing residents. It serves as an exciting model for delivering affordable housing in areas of tight land supply and high density.”
Greater London Authority
In February 2019, the The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, confirmed a £10m development loan facility for Apex as an Investment Partner with the GLA. This unique financing opportunity will enable to forge a wider range of partnerships with London’s councils, housing associations, and private market freeholders to scale new opportunities in both inner and outer boroughs and deliver much-needed new and affordable homes.
The announcement marks the first time that the Mayor has supported an airspace developer.

BGF (formerly the Business Growth Fund)
In 2018, Apex Housing Group received a £6.25m injection from BGF, to help speed up our delivery of new homes across London. BGF became the first and only investor to have been honoured for innovation in the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, as the most active investor to growing business in the UK and Ireland, with £2.5bn to support early stage, fast growth companies. It has invested across all sectors, and has backed a number of housebuilders, architecture and property services companies.
BGF investor Rahul Satsangi said: “This as an exciting opportunity to back an ambitious team take advantage of London’s large but untapped airspace development market whilst also growing its critical service offering to London’s local authorities.”
