Development management services
PBSA & Build-to-Rent development management
Development management for purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) and Build-to-Rent, bringing planning, funding and construction decisions into a coordinated delivery strategy.
JMGL brings independent client-side leadership to student accommodation and rental-led residential development. Support spans appraisal, design and planning, funding coordination, procurement and construction oversight.
PBSA and Build-to-Rent are confirmed specialisms of founder Josh McGuinness MRICS. His career includes senior roles at Solaris Real Estate, Future Generation and Empiric Student Property, where he delivered approximately £450m of student accommodation development assets. This is personal career experience, not a JMGL delivery total.
