Signature Senior Lifestyle has announced the development of three Greater London sites into new senior living communities.
Working with investment management specialist Elevation Advisors LLP, the new developments in Enfield, Surbiton, and Hornchurch are now underway and due to open in 2026. The homes are targeting an EPC rating of A and a BREEAM New Construction rating of Very Good. Solar panels will be installed on all sites, as will air source heat pumps for space heating and hot water supply.
Signature Senior Lifestyle CEO Kay Cox said: “The Signature brand is synonymous with exceptional later living lifestyle and care, and we were so proud when our most recent home, Signature at Highgate, was named Knight Frank’s Luxury Care Home of the Year. We will be building on this expertise to ensure our three new homes go even further in delivering the later living lifestyle dreams of older people in Enfield, Surbiton, and Hornchurch, and to set new standards for elegance, comfort, and service. Like our existing homes, all three will continue to champion safety, transparency and accountability through our ongoing investment in safety monitoring technology, and how we use this technology to drive personalised care and mentoring for residents and colleagues. We are hugely grateful for the ongoing support of Elevation and our partners at NatWest and Virgin Money, and we look forward to welcoming new residents and colleagues to these homes in 2026.”
Simon Webster, partner at Elevation, said: “We are delighted to continue our partnership with Signature, Virgin Money and NatWest and support the next phase of their growth. These new sites, in sought-after locations around London, will fulfil the market need for modern assets that make a positive contribution to their communities. Furthermore, a strategy to implement identified opportunities that further improve the environmental sustainability of Signature’s current operating homes is being rolled out across the already high-performing portfolio.”
Craig Ambler, senior director at Virgin Money, commented: “We are absolutely thrilled to continue to our relationship with Signature and Elevation by funding the development of two new care homes. All Signature homes combine fantastic care and hospitality with exceptional settings. We look forward to seeing these homes open in 2026 creating more local jobs and further addressing the care provision shortfall.”
Ashleigh Dorrington-Harvey, director of healthcare & life sciences at NatWest, added: “NatWest continues to be dedicated to the healthcare sector, including supporting leading operators in the elderly care space such as Signature. We are delighted to have supported their latest purpose-built, 92-bed care home development in Enfield with a development facility”.
