Residential

Creating better places to live

At Marrons, we help bring forward well-designed, sustainable, and commercially viable housing developments that respond to changing lifestyles, market pressures, and local needs. From large-scale urban extensions to infill and regeneration sites, we combine strategic insight, policy expertise, and design excellence to deliver homes and communities that thrive.

With decades of experience delivering private, affordable, large-scale and specialist homes, our team provides clarity and confidence through every stage, from identifying land opportunities, navigating complex planning frameworks, and aligning viability, design, and policy to secure deliverable outcomes. We are here to help you design and secure permission to deliver homes people want to live in, and communities they want to be part of.

Appeals, negotiations, and stakeholder engagement

We combine strategic planning expertise, design intelligence, and deep market understanding to bring ambitious residential developments to life. Our multidisciplinary team has delivered everything from single bespoke homes to major urban extensions, providing clear, commercially minded advice that balances creativity, policy, and practicality.

We work collaboratively with housebuilders, landowners, promoters, and local authorities to navigate the planning process with confidence, turning complex opportunities into successful, deliverable developments that create lasting social and economic value.

Housing

Delivering high-quality accommodation that meets a broad range of needs is vital to tackling the national housing shortage and creating sustainable communities for the future. Our team works with housebuilders, developers, landowners, and private clients to navigate complex planning challenges, identify opportunities, and unlock sites for development. By aligning policy, design quality and commercial viability, we help bring forward projects that deliver lasting social and economic value.

Build to Rent

The requirement for Build to Rent developments is increasing. As demand for flexible, professionally managed rental housing continues to rise, our experienced team guide clients through the design, planning and delivery process, from office-to-residential conversions to new-build schemes, ensuring developments are compliant, desirable, and commercially sustainable.

Student Accommodation 

With the student-age population continuing to grow each year, demand for high-quality, purpose-built accommodation remains high. Custom-built student housing plays a vital role in the wider housing mix, freeing up private housing and supporting both students and local communities. We work with universities, developers, and local authorities to deliver well-designed accommodation that enhances the student experience, fosters positive relationships with local residents, and helps ease pressure on the wider housing market.

Co-living

The decline in available rental properties has led to rising rents and created a demand in new co-living properties. As a result, co-living offers a smart, community-focused solution to urban housing challenges. We help clients design and deliver well-managed, high-density developments that offer privacy, amenity, and social connection, optimising land use and appealing to young professionals and students seeking flexibility and affordability.
