Meanwhile, we are on track to build 18,000 homes per year, with 80% of them revitalising brownfield land, while delivering on net-zero carbon objectives.

Identify funding streams

We recognise that the West Midlands is an attractive place for construction and investment. There are many finance aids available to those looking to invest.

We will work with you to understand your business needs, then help you find the right grant funding or signpost you towards a government-backed financing route that will reduce the risk on relevant projects.

Research and marketing

Working with the Local Authorities, we help take investable opportunities to market. When a site is ready for development or regeneration, we conduct market research, package up the proposition and showcase them to prospective bidders.
