Build to Rent developer – Placefirst – has revealed its multimillion-pound plan to create 350 new Build to Rent homes in Wolverhampton’s Canalside Quarter. The plans include a bid for five acres of brownfield land off Lower Horseley Fields in the city centre.
“Placefirst is working with City of Wolverhampton Council to deliver its ambitious vision for the Canalside Quarter and kickstarting the multi-billion-pound regeneration of the city.
“We have developed our plans for the Canalside Quarter within the wider transformational framework set out by the council.”

Placefirst have Build to Rent schemes across the North West, North East and Yorkshire, and this will be their first project in the Midlands. They design, build, own and maintain their Build to Rent homes and create safe and friendly neighbourhoods – ensuring those neighbourhoods fit into each location.
