London | Aware Super’s British build-to-rent property developer Get Living will fight back against an £18 million ($35 million) cladding bill, launching an appeal against a tribunal’s order to pay the remediation costs for a London residential complex.

Aware Super’s international head, Damien Webb, said the $160 billion fund was backing Get Living’s appeal launched on Friday because the First-Tier Tribunal’s decision last month could have a chilling effect on investment in Britain’s build-to-rent (BTR) sector.
