The Bridges Property Funds specialise in sustainable real estate investing. Since 2012, we have developed over £2bn of assets across 70+ transactions, delivering attractive investment returns alongside positive social and environmental outcomes.

Buildings and construction are responsible for roughly 40% of global carbon emissions. So the real estate sector has an absolutely critical role to play in the transition to net zero. At the same time, demographic and cultural shifts are fundamentally changing the way we live and work. We need new property solutions that reflect and address this demand, while also supporting broader economic growth.

At Bridges, we believe that investing in the built environment is imperative if we want to build a more sustainable and inclusive future. But it’s also a unique opportunity. By investing in real estate that helps to reduce carbon emissions, improve wellbeing, regenerate communities and address unmet needs, we can also tap into the growing demand for sustainable assets – enabling us to unlock substantial economic value.
