We joined together with the Mayor of the West Midlands, Andy Street, to celebrate the official launch of our Muse Midlands business last week. Drinks and canapes were laid on at the Ikon Gallery to thank partners and colleagues for the warm welcome we’ve received from the region.
Speaking at the event Andy Street welcomed our investment, putting ‘cash on the table’ to back the West Midlands. He also emphasised the importance of Arden Cross, and the ability to leverage the benefit of HS2, to the economic future of the West Midlands.
Our appointment as the development partner for the £3.2bn Arden Cross regeneration, enabled by the HS2 Interchange, reflects our ambition. Arden Cross is the biggest regeneration opportunity in the region, and we are proud to be leading its delivery.
Since launching our Midlands business in November 2022, we’ve worked to embed our team and build relationships across the region. This week’s launch event signals the progress we’ve made, and the immense potential which now lies ahead.
This includes the exciting partnership between the The English Cities Fund (ECF) – of which we’re a partner, alongside Legal & General, and Homes England – and the City of Wolverhampton Council.
