Collaborating with other North East businesses is always welcome and I am looking forward to seeing the Westminster Works take shape and contribute to our Birmingham development portfolio. “Birmingham presents a real opportunity for investment and development in high quality Private Rental Sector and mixed-use schemes that create long-term sustainable communities in the city and supports the wider regeneration and investment the area is experiencing.
