THE QUARTERS

What THE QUARTERS does

The Quarters (legal entity: Bravo Investment Re Limited, UK private limited company, registration 12602289) is a London-area Build-to-Rent (BTR) operator of serviced apartments, founded in 2014 and headquartered at 120 Finchley Road, London. The company designs, builds, and operates fully furnished private suites marketed under an "unshared living" concept, combining apartment-style privacy (in-suite kitchenettes, private bathrooms) with hotel-like amenities. Its portfolio comprises four properties — Watford, Swiss Cottage, Kilburn, and Croydon — totaling more than 200 units across three suite tiers (Standard, Deluxe, Premium) operating under Hotel (Watford) and Serviced Living/Assured Shorthold Tenancy (Swiss Cottage, Kilburn, Croydon) licensing models with a 30-day minimum stay.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly suite rentals with bundled utilities, plus ancillary streams including reservation fees (one week's rate), corporate stays, parking, Wi-Fi upgrades, and other on-site services. Distribution is a hybrid direct-to-consumer and sales-led model: the website offers self-serve suite search with Matterport virtual tours and an enquiry form, while a dedicated corporate sales team and a channel partnership with relocation firm GRAEBEL serve enterprise demand. Named corporate clients include DeepMind, NHS, Warner Bros., Royal Academy of Dance, and ICAB. Marketing is content-led through a blog covering London relocation and BTR topics, supplemented by organic social presence on Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

Technology is conventional property-operations rather than technology-led: integrated property management, smart card entry, CCTV, on-site maintenance, and a stayer dashboard app. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company operates as a privately held, internally funded entity with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, patents, or awards.
