HS2 and the West Midlands development boom
Construction around the West Midlands is well underway, and new research shows HS2 is already driving economic growth nearby.
HS2 boosts development since 2017
Development around HS2 locations far exceeds growth anywhere else. The new homes and offices near HS2 are creating thriving neighbourhoods and business centres.
These range from creative industries in Digbeth, Birmingham to completely new areas like Arden Cross, Solihull. Development is happening on a major scale.
These new places to live, work and visit will add £10 billion to the local economy over the next 10 years.
