Four ACS project teams worked on the following five national, high-profile projects to complete for the 31 March, public sector year end:
The Derwent Living transaction is the first lease-back, funding transaction of its kind, never seen before in the UK. This particular model will allow housing associations to unlock additional funding capacity; it is likely it will be used for future funding deals in the development of more affordable housing, to help meet the national housing shortage.
The Gloucester and Salford projects, where ACS acted for the local authority on each transaction, were significant value transactions each at over £200m, and will deliver additional investment and regeneration programmes over the next five years.
