Walsall Council has appointed three strategic advisers to drive forward its regeneration and development plans for the borough.
Arcadis, CBRE and Savills have been appointed to advise on and support the delivery of the council’s “We Are Walsall 2040” vision.
Funded through the Future High Streets fund and investment from Walsall Council, the project is part of the borough’s £1.5bn programme of investment that will create more than 4,000 jobs and build over 1,000 new homes.
The partners will advise across a range of regeneration, planning, property and technical areas to support the council with the delivery of pipeline development sites.
Adrian Andrew, deputy leader and portfolio holder for regeneration at Walsall Council, said: “Bringing strategic advisers on board to work alongside our teams to deliver on our ambitious plans is key to our success.
“We have worked hard to secure considerable investment and funding to create opportunities and we must make sure that what we deliver is high-quality and benefits our residents and businesses.”
Sarah Gregory, development director at Savills Birmingham, said Walsall’s regeneration plans would “not only breathe new life into the area, but bring with them new jobs, housing and vastly improve the overall visitor experience”.
The three advisers were selected following an open procurement process at the start of the year.
Some 80 expressions of interest were received with 12 bids assessed prior to selection.
