People are at the heart of everything we do

Meanwhile represents our Founder's vision and brings together their numerous interests, providing focus for global expansion, further investment and product development.

Each of our brands are run by the Meanwhile Group and a team of highly experienced sector experts who all share the same entrepreneurial spirit.

We're vertically integrated

We refine every detail in the design, build and operation of homes for every life stage.

In development and construction management, we offer an end-to-end team comprising design, planning, and construction experts. We have a significant track record of sourcing sites in key locations and developing long-term accommodation solutions, purpose-built for our target residents. Our significant operational experience enables us to efficiently deliver and achieve future operational synergies.

In terms of investment management, we have a proven global track record. We employ a constant 360-degree feedback loop in collaboration with our internal development and operational teams, ensuring informed capital allocation and asset management decisions.

We realise spaces that optimise life

We design spaces that sing, spaces that are designed to adapt to people, and not the other way around. Spaces that enhance the environments they exist in and communities that call our buildings home.

We’re continuously looking for new ways to future-proof against climate change and create positive social impact.

By adopting this strategy through every aspect of the design build, and operational life-cycle we can effect meaningful change and strive to stand as a leader in our sector.
