Moda celebrates four wins at the 2026 Love to Rent Awards

Moda has been recognised with four awards at the 2026 Love to Rent Awards, winning every category entered, including the prestigious Operator of the Year and Developer of the Year titles.
The awards, which celebrate excellence, innovation and achievement across the UK Build-to-Rent sector, were held at The Londoner in Leicester Square, recognising the people, places and partnerships helping to raise standards across the industry.
Moda's four wins were:
- Operator of the Year – Moda
- Developer of the Year – Moda
- Development of the Year – Hove Central by Moda
- BTR Collaboration Award – Moda and Aviva Capital Partners for Stone Yard in Digbeth, Birmingham
The business also received a Highly Commended recognition in the Say Property Lead to Lease Award, following a series of independent mystery shops across Moda's UK-wide portfolio of rental neighbourhoods, recognising the quality of its leasing and resident-facing teams.
This year's entries were assessed by an independent panel of 16 senior industry figures, including representatives from the British Property Federation, The Property Institute, Notting Hill Genesis, Quintain Living, Assael Architecture, The Wellcome Trust, Muse and the John Lewis Partnership.
Each entry underwent a two-stage judging process, with judges scoring submissions independently before coming together to agree the winners.
The results recognise Moda's work across the full lifecycle of rental living, from the planning and delivery of new neighbourhoods to their ongoing operation and the experience provided to residents.
Richard Smith, Managing Director of Operations at Moda, said: “Winning four awards across development and operations is an achievement we're incredibly proud of, particularly given the strength of competition and the independent judging process.
“Each award recognises something different, but together they reflect the hard work, expertise and commitment of our people across the business. From the teams delivering our neighbourhoods to those welcoming residents and building communities every day, this recognition belongs to everyone involved.
“I'd like to thank our teams and partners for the part they play in making Moda neighbourhoods such great places to live for our communities.”
