Muse has reached an agreement with University of Warwick, Arden Cross Ltd to progress plans to create a £3.2 billion Health technology Campus in Solihull.
The new HealthTech Campus will bring together the University, NHS, private providers, and industry to support new start-ups and scale-ups to enter the NHS and global markets.
The project forms part of the wider Arden Cross regeneration opportunity, next to the HS2 Interchange in Solihull.
Arden Cross represents one of the UK’s largest regeneration projects.
It aims to deliver community benefits, including supporting local health and wellbeing through access to cutting edge medical research and technology.
The new agreement follows the development of a detailed proposition, after the HealthTech Campus concept was first launched in 2024.
The £3.2 billion opportunity at Arden Cross will deliver tens of thousands of jobs and thousands of new homes, shops, offices, and public spaces and will also include a dynamic Innovation District, anchored by the new Campus.
Maggie Grogan, managing director Midlands at Muse, said: “Arden Cross is already one of the region’s most exciting regeneration opportunities and takes advantage of the significant public investment already being made in HS2. ”
“The HealthTech Campus will enhance the opportunity as a location of national and international importance.”
“Having entered a Development Agreement with Arden Cross Ltd in December 2024, we can build on our work with the University of Warwick and continue to develop the wider masterplan.”
Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands, said: “Arden Cross is a priority growth project for me and the region. It’s pivotal to delivering the business investment and the jobs that we need. ”
“But we must move faster because complex projects can often take a long time to commence and there is now an urgency for delivery.”
