Real Estate – Housing

Read the latest retirement report

A household name in housing investment

Octopus is one of the UK’s leading investors in housing, specialising in care homes, retirement communities and affordable housing. We have a 15-year track record in the industry and more than £3.7 billion of Funds Under Management (at 31 March 2023).

We’re a dominant participant in the UK’s long-term social care infrastructure and we have an established health and care real estate investment platform, managing a portfolio of over 70 modern, purpose-built care homes.

We work with leading operators to deliver retirement communities that maximise the opportunity for value in their business, drawing on the skill of several industry leaders in our investment team.

We have entered the affordable housing market because the social housing sector needs more sustainable funding routes to create energy efficient, genuinely affordable homes. This strategy aims to reduce fuel poverty, deliver affordable housing for older people and support levelling up across the UK.

An aging industry

There are not enough modern, fit-for-purpose health and care facilities for elderly people. Healthcare premises are outdated.  And in the face of the UK’s growing and ageing population, this problem needs to be rectified. Our care needs are evolving and we need better, more flexible front-line care. We want to solve these problems by bringing an innovative approach to health and care facilities across the UK. 

Our approach

We invest across a wide range of health and care sectors to maximise the opportunity for our investors. The Octopus Real Estate team’s obsession with resident care sits at the heart of every investment and business partnership they make. 

We back only the best management teams in the health and care sector, supporting them in the development of care homes and retirement villages.
