Working in partnership is the way we deliver meaningful change

At Muse, our long-term partnership approach has underpinned our placemaking pedigree for decades.
By working together with the public and private sectors we have been able to strategically shape and deliver economic regeneration across the UK. We have delivered new homes, created new jobs and shaped new communities – changing lives in the process.
Lisa Gledhill, Managing Director of National Partnerships
Delivering meaningful change at scale is something that simply can’t be done alone. It can only be achieved by working together with others who have the skills, capabilities, and desire to make things happen and see them through over the long-term.
Working together with our local authority partners in the places we are delivering, we can amplify our impact by linking-in our national partnerships.
ECF, our national partnership with Legal & General and Homes England, is a 20-year example of how working together can deliver results. We are contributing to meaningful change across the country, with ECF recently doubling in size to £400m of funding capacity.
To name a few, ECF is delivering a new neighbourhood in Wolverhampton, which will enhance the economic sustainability of the city centre, affordable homes in Canning Town, the transformation of St Helens town centre and the re-imagining of Bradford’s retail core.
With its unique combination of skills, ECF can unlock potential and make things happen where the wider market can’t. This creates important, needed, and impactful economic regeneration.
Launched last year, Habiko is our newest national partnership. Working together with PIC and Homes England our ambition is to deliver 3,000 affordable and sustainable new homes for rent. It’s an ambition which aligns with national priorities and will ensure those who need it most can benefit from homes which are cheaper to run and more comfortable to live in. We are already looking at a range of opportunities for Habiko across every region in which we operate.
During 2025 we will accelerate and amplify the reach and impact of the Muse partnership approach. Indeed, to deliver complex, area-wide placemaking at scale – and at pace – we will only achieve our ambitions by working together.
