As part of its expansion strategy, the company aims to achieve an output of 500 homes annually, which is also expected to open new doors for local trades, and provide employment opportunities for the region's workforce.

The firm has also confirmed its bigger ambition to become a UK-wide developer over time.

Dorian Payne, managing director at Castell Group, commented: “We see a housing crisis in our country, and it's time to act.

•   Hilltop launches real estate funding and management platform
•   Pride IMS expands into East Midlands with new hire
•   HTB expands development finance division

“Our expansion into the West Midlands is the latest step in our ongoing effort to make a substantial difference to people's lives.

“We believe that everyone deserves a place to call home, and we are determined to make that a reality."

“I have the support of a fantastic and rapidly growing team, and we are all committed to delivering high-quality, socially impactful housing that will hopefully shape communities and change lives across the West Midlands."
