28.01.26 3 min read by Charlotte Kennedy

We’ve welcomed Michael Ramsden as Senior Project Manager at our Leeds office, reinforcing our commitment to delivering transformational regeneration across Yorkshire and the North East.

Michael brings over a decade of experience in project and commercial management, having led some of the region’s most complex urban regeneration schemes. He joins Muse from Latimer Developments, where he managed one of Leeds’ largest residential projects focused on creating 1,800 new homes in the city centre. His expertise spans the full development lifecycle, from land acquisition and design development to procurement, cost planning, and stakeholder engagement.

Michael’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for us, as we continues to expand our presence in the region and deliver place-led regeneration across Yorkshire and the North East, in partnership with local authorities and communities. Michael will play a key part in the delivery of Muse’s new Strategic Regeneration Partnership with Wakefield Council. This partnership is progressing ambitious plans to transform the city centre, creating new homes, green spaces, and public realm improvements, alongside better connectivity and leisure opportunities – all designed to attract more people to live, work and visit Wakefield.

In addition to working on the Wakefield SRP, Michael will also bring his expertise to a number of new projects, including the recently announced partnership between ECF and Gateshead Council to deliver the Baltic Quarter.

Simon Dew, Director of Development Management, said:

We’re delighted to welcome Michael to the team. His proven track record in delivering complex, multi-phase developments and navigating challenging regulatory processes will be invaluable as we continue to create vibrant, sustainable places across Yorkshire and the North East. At Muse, our purpose is to build communities and create places that stand the test of time – places that are greener, better connected, and full of opportunity. Michael’s expertise will help us deliver on that vision, working in partnership with local authorities and stakeholders to bring lasting positive change for both people and businesses.”
