Monica O'Neill is CEO of ENSO Advisors LLC. She was a Co-Founder at Tristan Capital Partners, and a Managing Director at AEW Europe. She joined Anna Clare Harper for this episode of The Return.
Monica has grown two multi-billion dollar real estate platforms and helped shape the US affordable housing system (via Low-Income Housing Tax Credit).
Now she’s doubling down on UK residential, especially affordable and supported housing.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why 2025 is a ‘vintage year’ for UK affordable and supported housing
- What the UK can learn from US affordable housing tax breaks
- Why it’s so important to ask more questions - and ignore hype
Her advice?
“If you can’t explain the risks out loud, you don’t understand it.”
