Why invest in Wolverhampton?

Wolverhampton has been backed by the UK Government in February’s Levelling Up White Paper to continue to deliver even more ambitious regeneration projects across the city. This is a strong endorsement of the work of the City of Wolverhampton Council who have an impressive track record of delivery in partnership with a range of public and private sector organisations.

With £4.4 billion worth of investment on site or planned, the face of our city is changing through the creation of a wealth of attractive opportunities for developers and investors. Prime examples of this collaborative working are the award-winning £1 billion i54 business park, the £150 million Interchange transport hub, the £17.5 million National Brownfield Institute at the University of Wolverhampton’s Springfield Campus and the

£16 million construction of the i9 office complex – now home to the Department for Levelling Up, Homes and Communities’ second headquarters.

With 10,000 new homes planned, the potential for another 1 million square foot of office space, opportunities in retail, leisure and hospitality and an enviable portfolio of heritage buildings, Wolverhampton is a prime location for investment in the heart of the UK.
