From its incorporation in 2000, Telford Homes focused on build to sell homes, developing high rise developments in London and selling to individual buyers. In 2016, Telford Homes’ strategy transitioned to focus on the ‘build to rent’ market, still developing homes in London but for the institutional market. Telford Homes was listed on the AIM market until 2019 when they were acquired by the US real estate developer, Trammell Crow Company (a division of CBRE) who wanted to expand their build to rent activities to London.

Telford Homes has a strong track record in construction, having delivered over 13,000 homes across London since incorporation in 2000.  They are proud of long-term partnerships with local authorities, community stakeholders, housing associations, lenders and institutional investors and have a strong mandate for growth, both in London and beyond, with the aim of becoming the UK’s leading BtR developer
