Build to rent pipeline in West Midlands
16 build to rent schemes are under construction in West Midlands and a further 10 are in planning, 26 in all, together accounting for about 7,600 homes. The homes already on site come to about 3,400, the part of the pipeline most likely to open in the next two to three years. 11 of these schemes have a published completion date, with 2027 the busiest year (6 schemes); the other 15 have no date yet, which is usual for schemes still in planning. In the last three months 17 schemes were added to the tracker and 1 planning decision was recorded.
Schemes enter the tracker from planning applications, trade press and operator announcements, and move forward only on evidence: a start on site needs contractor or funding evidence, not a borough commencement notice alone. The figures here update as records change. Scheme names, developers, owners, operators, unit counts and planning references for every scheme here are part of Pro.
