Build to Rent developments can offer much more than the apartment itself, with shared amenities ranging from gyms and co-working spaces to roof terraces, swimming pools and resident lounges.

Amenities vary considerably between Build to Rent developments, but shared resident facilities are a common feature of professionally managed rental buildings. These can range from practical everyday services to dedicated spaces for working, exercising, relaxing and socialising.
| FITNESS AND WELLNESS | On-site gyms are common across London Build to Rent developments, while some buildings offer additional facilities such as swimming pools, yoga and fitness studios, saunas and steam rooms. |
|---|---|
| CO-WORKING AND BUSINESS SPACES | Dedicated co-working spaces give residents somewhere to work away from their apartment, with some developments also providing meeting rooms, private booths and business lounges for hybrid and remote working. |
| SOCIAL AND ENTERTAINMENT SPACES | Resident lounges provide additional communal space outside the apartment, while some developments offer cinema rooms, private dining rooms, games rooms and other bookable spaces for residents. |
| OUTDOOR SPACES | Communal roof terraces, rooftop gardens, landscaped courtyards and other shared outdoor areas can provide valuable additional space, particularly for renters without a private garden or large balcony. |
| EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE | Concierge services, parcel storage, secure cycle storage and resident parking can make everyday life easier. Many Build to Rent developments are also pet-friendly, with some providing facilities specifically for residents with pets. |
Gyms, co-working spaces and resident lounges may be increasingly familiar features of Build to Rent, but some London developments go considerably further. Here are five of the more distinctive resident amenities available across developments we work with.
Residents at 50-60 Charter Street in Canary Wharf have access to their own karaoke room, one of a substantial range of shared entertainment, wellness and social spaces within the development.
The same development also includes a dedicated Reformer Pilates studio, complementing its wider fitness and wellness facilities and offering residents another way to exercise without leaving the building.
Mason & Fifth in Westbourne Park has a particularly extensive wellness offering, including an indoor swimming pool alongside sauna and steam room facilities available to residents.
Pet-friendly living goes a little further at 8 Water Street in Canary Wharf, where residents have access to a dedicated dog agility area alongside the development’s wider outdoor spaces.
At Hawksbury Heights in Elephant & Castle, the residents’ Sky Lounge sits on the 24th floor, providing an elevated communal space with views across London.
The best amenities are the ones you are actually likely to use. A dedicated co-working space could be particularly valuable if you work from home regularly, while an on-site gym or swimming pool could reduce the need for a separate membership. Pet owners may prioritise pet-friendly policies and outdoor space, while resident parking can significantly narrow the search for renters who need a car.
It is also worth considering the wider package rather than simply comparing the number of amenities available. Professional management, apartment quality, location and transport connections all contribute to the experience of living in a Build to Rent development, and a building with fewer shared facilities may still be the better fit for you.
