Triad, a Bermuda‑based real‑estate firm, and Charlotte‑based developer Charlotte are partnering to create the Bermuda Run build‑to‑rent community, a first‑of‑its‑kind venture aimed at addressing the island’s growing rental demand.

The new project, slated for the northern outskirts of Hamilton, will feature a mix of studio, one‑ and two‑bedroom units designed for long‑term tenants. Construction will employ local contractors and suppliers where possible, providing an estimated 200 construction jobs and ongoing maintenance positions for Bermudian residents. The developers say the community will incorporate green building standards, including solar panels and rain‑water harvesting, to align with Bermuda’s sustainability goals.

Local housing experts note that the build‑to‑rent model could offer a more stable and affordable option for both locals and expatriates, potentially easing the strain on the island’s limited land supply. The project is expected to be completed by late 2025, with a phased opening that will allow the developers to gauge market response before expanding.

City officials have welcomed the initiative, citing its potential to diversify the rental market and provide a template for future developments that balance growth with the preservation of Bermuda’s unique character.
