Wavensmere Crowned Urban and City Living Developer of the Year at the 2025 Insider Midlands Residential Awards

Wavensmere Homes was crowned Urban and City Living Developer of the Year at the 2025 Insider Midlands Residential Awards.
The prestigious regional industry event was held at Edgbaston Stadium and attended by over 500 members of the residential property and professional services community. Compered by BBC TV and radio presenter Jason Mohammad, the annual celebration of excellence saw a total of 16 awards presented to company teams, partnerships, and individuals.
Wavensmere Homes received the prestigious Urban and City Living Developer of the Year accolade in recognition of its £175m Nightingale Quarter development and £75m Friar Gate Goods Yard redevelopment in Derby city centre, the £112m Belgrave Village scheme in central Birmingham, and the £150m Wolverhampton Canalside South project, where work started on site earlier this year.
The Edgbaston-headquartered housebuilding firm and its associated special purpose vehicles (SPVs) completed 476 houses and apartments during 2024, achieving a turnover of £105m for its financial year, ending 31st December. Development land in the process of being secured is set to deliver 1,500 new homes.
James Dickens, Managing Director of Wavensmere Homes, said: “We are thrilled to be crowned the 2025 Urban and City Living Developer of the Year by Insider Media’s judging panel. The performance of this business across the Midlands region and further afield is the culmination of a huge effort by a relatively small team. Through seeking out large complex brownfield sites, we are consistently delivering hundreds of quality, energy-efficient new homes per year.
“Our track record and financial strength will enable us to announce major new projects during 2025, which will deliver thousands more houses, apartments and commercial space over the coming years. Meanwhile, we are pleased to be recognised for delivering at an exceptional pace across our seven live development sites.”
