          THE DEVELOPER
        
        
          English Cities Fund (ECf) was created by the
        
        
          government to identify and break through the
        
        
          barriers to institutional investment and pave the
        
        
          way for higher levels of private investment in
        
        
          the reshaping of our towns and cities.
        
        
          ECf has shown that high quality, mixed use
        
        
          area-based regeneration schemes provide
        
        
          viable, attractive and worthwhile opportunities
        
        
          for institutional investors in the medium to long
        
        
          term, alongside lasting community benefits and
        
        
          environmental improvements.
        
        
          The three partners are:
        
        
          Muse Developments, Legal & General
        
        
          and the Homes & Communities Agency.
        
        
          ECf’s portfolio has brought forward five
        
        
          schemes; in London, Plymouth, Wakefield,
        
        
          Salford and Liverpool – with an estimated
        
        
          total completed development value of around
        
        
          £2 billion. Together these will produce over
        
        
          8.5 million sq ft of mixed use floor space,
        
        
          including more than 4,000 new homes,
        
        
          and bring back into productive use almost
        
        
          100 acres of brownfield land.
