Lovell was named last month as the council\u2019s preferred development partner. Both parties are now finalising a partnership agreement, due to be signed in spring 2026, which will unlock full funding and mark the start of construction.<\/p>\n

Cllr Brennan, cabinet member for housing and homelessness, said the regeneration will deliver \u201c51% affordable housing, amounting to nearly 1,800 homes,\u201d and confirmed \u201cevery existing council tenant who wants to stay will be provided for.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that 68% of residents consulted supported the plans, which will help Birmingham meet its goal of building 51,100 new homes by 2031.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
