A key area of Long Harbour's investment focus is deploying capital into long-term social infrastructure and regeneration projects.
This brings together our expertise in housing project management, real estate development and financial structuring. Long Harbour works with local authorities in the UK and overseas to realise social infrastructure, bringing in private sector funding and leaving ownership and control of property assets in the hands of local authorities.
For our investors, social infrastructure projects represent stable, long-term, socially valuable investments with the appropriate balance of risk and reward. Long Harbour's particular expertise enables our investors to access such investments, which are traditionally difficult to locate, confident in the knowledge that they are well structured and regulated.
In May 2014 Long Harbour completed their first affordable housing deal in partnership with Laing O'Rourke, they delivered a 100% funded scheme for Barking and Dagenham Council.
