The new homes business of United Infrastructure Group has officially been spun out in a management buyout, closing the chapter on the United Living brand.
The management buyout sees Andrew McDonough, formerly managing director of New Homes Multi-Family, as now the sole owner of the business.
While financial terms were not disclosed, the single-family and remaining multi-family teams will continue business-as-usual, ensuring continuity for ongoing projects and clients.
McDonough is expected to reveal the company’s growth plans in the coming weeks.
The transaction formally ends United Infrastructure’s direct involvement in the new homes market while enabling the newly independent business to continue delivering projects under the same employing legal entity, with no impact on teams or conditions.

United Infrastructure described the deal as “an important milestone” in the group’s strategic refocus, giving its new homes colleagues a strong platform for the next chapter of the business.
“This transaction marks the formal conclusion of the group’s involvement in the New Homes market and means the United Living brand has now been fully retired from the business,” they said.
“We would like to thank all colleagues for their contribution to the group over many years and wish them every success for the future.
“For those remaining within United Infrastructure, our strategic direction is unchanged, and this step further sharpens our focus on our core growth markets while ensuring our former New Homes business is set up to thrive independently.”
This follows last year’s decision to stop taking new homes work, allowing United Infrastructure to focus on decarbonisation, energy transition, digitalisation, and broader UK infrastructure and property services.
Operating as United Living Group, the company posted a record financial year in 2025, with revenue rising 14.4 per cent to £718.1 million, boosted by acquisitions in utilities, property services, and infrastructure.
In September, the business formally changed its name to United Infrastructure, even as it closed its £136 million new homes division following a strategic review by private equity owner Apollo Global Management.
