Why we need a Master Developer
“The political mathematics are such that there is no realistic prospect of housing the fast-growing population within 100 miles of London without an increased contribution from large sites. That involves two basic imperatives: shortening the period to first house completion and accelerating quality delivery thereafter. Our Master Developer model is demonstrably addressing both.

. . . at Houlton in Rugby, the Wellcome Trust-owned Master Developer Urban&Civic are leading the construction of a new 6,000-home community. Their business model is based on a long-term commitment to placemaking, making the delivery of social infrastructure and schools an up-front commitment rather than a neglected afterthought."
