Bidwells has been appointed by Present Made, Apache Capital’s single-family Housing operational platform, as lettings agent for Cambridge’s first-ever housing scheme designed exclusively for rental. This milestone project sets a new standard for rental living, offering high-quality homes tailored to meet the evolving needs of modern families while addressing pressing local housing need.
The vibrant new neighbourhood sits at the heart of Eddington, Cambridge. Only a 12-minute cycle from the city centre, the scheme is designed to promote healthy and sustainable living and is surrounded by nature, shops, bars, restaurants and a bustling community. Each home is highly energy-efficient and incorporates smart technology, providing the quality and comfort of homeownership with the flexibility and freedom of renting.
“This is a truly groundbreaking development for Cambridge and a significant step forward for the UK rental market,” said Alex Bloxham, Partner and Head of Residential Lettings at Bidwells. “The combination of innovative design, sustainable construction methods, and a focus on creating a vibrant, healthy community makes this scheme a model for the future of housing. This project not only meets the growing demand for high-quality rental homes but also set new standards for sustainability and family living.”
Alan Penfold, Managing Director of Present Made, said: “This new development will introduce high-quality single-family rental housing to Cambridge for the first time, and we are excited about the rollout of Present Made’s first neighbourhood. With Bidwells’ unparalleled knowledge of Cambridge and their extensive experience, combined with the development’s construction excellence, sustainability focus and strong community ethos, we anticipate high demand from modern families seeking exceptional homes that meet their lifestyle needs.”
