Fast-growing block management specialist LRPM has launched a new high-rise residential division, responding to surging demand and growing regulatory complexity in the sector.
The move follows a sharp uptick in LRPM’s high-rise portfolio, which has doubled in the past six months.
The firm now manages more than 100 tall buildings housing over 1,000 residents, primarily across London.
The dedicated practice will focus exclusively on residential towers over 80 metres in height – a segment increasingly defined by post-Grenfell regulatory reform and heightened compliance requirements.
MANDATORY TRAINING
To support the initiative, LRPM has appointed a full-time fire safety expert and rolled out mandatory training for all staff on the Building Safety Act 2022 and related legislation.
This includes new obligations around safety case reporting, resident engagement strategies, and enhanced fire risk assessments for tall buildings.
Letitia Randell, founder of LRPM, says that the creation of a standalone practice marked a major strategic step for the company.
She adds: “The high-rise sector represents a growing and extremely important part of our business.
“The added complexity of managing tower blocks in today’s regulatory environment means this has become a genuine specialism – one that’s highly valued by residents and asset owners alike.”
CHANGING LANDSCAPE
And she says: “The post-Grenfell legislative changes have fundamentally altered the landscape for high-rise residential management. We recognised early that this would require dedicated expertise and investment, which is why we’ve put specialist personnel and comprehensive team-wide training in place.”
The new division will lead on compliance across LRPM’s high-rise portfolio, ensuring alignment with the Building Safety Regulator’s requirements and contributing to broader safety culture reform within the sector.
The launch also signals LRPM’s intent to scale further in the high-rise segment, with additional appointments and systems upgrades expected in the coming months.
Founded by Randell in 2019, LRPM has rapidly established itself as a specialist in London’s residential property market, offering block and estate management services across both residential and mixed-use schemes. Its portfolio now spans a broad cross-section of prime and emerging locations.
