We partner with Vistry to build 60 affordable homes in Sandwell area

We purchased the land in December and Vistry will build the homes for us.

The project is a part of Sandwell Council’s ambitions for sustainable growth and regeneration in the area.

Our Executive Director of Development Nick Byrne said: “We’re excited to be working with Vistry on another development in the West Midlands which will provide 60 affordable homes.

“Our plans for the Titford Road site will transform a vacant area and bring it back into use by building affordable homes for people on the housing lists.

The scheme, has been developed in line with Natural England guidance to ensure nature at the site is protected and enhanced.

Some of the key features at the site will include retention and improvement to the River Tame which runs through it, planting native foliage, and introducing new public green spaces.

Managing Director for Vistry North West Midlands, Michael Moore, said: “We are thrilled to be working in partnership with Citizen on this development which will not only meet the housing needs of the community but will protect wildlife and ecology whilst bringing investment for services into the area.

“We're excited to be a part of Oldbury’s growth and to be entrusted with the build of these much-needed affordable homes which will help meet the significant housing shortage in the area and create a thriving and sustainable community.”

Work is due to start on site early this year.
