Two completed and operational BTR projects in Guadalajara and Seville have been sold to Round Hill Capital. Neinor has also agreed to sell three rental buildings (128 units) in Malaga, Alicante, and Valencia to 1810 Capital. These buildings, originally part of the Sardes Portfolio acquired by Neinor in 2021, will continue to be managed and operated by Neinor's rental subsidiary, Renta Garantizada.
Since its strategic plan announcement, Neinor has sold 11 rental properties (1,334 units) across several Spanish provinces, generating roughly €325 mln with a 24% gross development margin. Institutional buyers included Kygal, Savills IM, Harrison Street, DeA Capital, CBRE IM, Avalon Properties, Round Hill Capital, and 1810 Capital.
Having fully monetised its BTR portfolio, Neinor has shifted its remaining rental assets, including parts of the Sardes portfolio and Olarizu Homes, to a build-to-sell (BTS) strategy, focusing on individual sales. This approach mirrors previous successes with projects like Sue 21, Zorrozaurre, and Serena.
Furthermore, Neinor pre-sold 670 BTS units in the first quarter of 2025—a significant year-over-year increase in both volume and value. Including BTR sales, Neinor's total pre-sales reached 921 units worth €295 mln, marking its best start to a year ever.
Borja García-Egotxeaga, CEO of Neinor Homes, commented: “Looking back, I am pleased to note that our strategy with a mix between build-to-sell and to-rent disposals has been extremely successful.  These disposals have played a critical role in funding Neinor’s €600 mln shareholder remuneration target. Year-to-date, we have already distributed c.€125 million in Q1 2025 and, more recently, we approved another €31 mln payable this week.”
Jordi Argemí, deputy CEO and CFO, stated: “We continue to benefit from accumulated housing demand and a lack of supply, while financing conditions for homebuyers continue to improve. The margin outlook for FY25-26 continues to improve as we benefit from a solid forward sales position to maximise selling prices. Although gross margins in FY23-24 have been among the highest in our history, we are optimistic for the upcoming years.”
Neinor Homes has a land bank to develop around 12,000 homes in Madrid, Western and Eastern Andalusia, Levante, the Basque Country, and Catalonia.
