A £3m equity investment into Apex Airspace has been agreed by the Business Growth Fund (BGF) to deliver new homes in London, following an initial investment from the BGF of £6.3m in 2018. The funding, which brings Apex’s tally to
£22m, is intended to aid the delivery of its growing pipeline of opportunities in the boroughs of Enfield, Southwark, and Sutton, as well as investments in R&D. The company’s model, which has
delivered two pilot schemes in London so far, uses offsite technology to bring homes to ‘airspace’ above existing properties, with the homes arriving on site 95 per cent complete before being craned on to roofs for installation. Arshad Bhatti, founder and CEO of Apex Airspace, commented: “Our pioneering model could deliver thousands of homes, and we’re pleased to be a pivotal part of the
Flaxby’s disused golf course as well as a retirement village, two primary schools, a GP surgery, sports facilities, a hotel and a new village centre. Almost half of the site will consist of green space, and Goldsborough Railway Station will be reopened offering direct rail services to Harrogate, Leeds and York. The businessman and philanthropist has
credited his late father with instilling in him the business acumen that led to him being honoured by The Queen. Chris commented: “When I was told about the award I immediately thought about my late father Joe and my mother Mary. No-one could have had better parents and the OBE is as much for them as for me.”
