Vistry has teamed up with housing association Citizen to deliver 60 affordable family homes in Oldbury, helping to meet strong local housing demand.
The scheme on Titford Road will bring a long-vacant plot back into use as a new neighbourhood featuring a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom properties. It is intended to provide high-quality, affordable homes for families while supporting Sandwell Council’s ambitions for sustainable growth and regeneration.
Michael Moore, Managing Director of Vistry North West Midlands, said: “We are thrilled to be working in partnership with Citizen on this development which will not only meet the housing needs of the community but will protect wildlife and ecology whilst bringing investment for services into the area.

“We’re excited to be a part of Oldbury’s growth and to be entrusted with the build of these much-needed affordable homes which will help meet the significant housing shortage in the area and create a thriving and sustainable community.”
Nick Byrne, Executive Director of Development at Citizen, said: “We’re excited to be working with Vistry on another development in the West Midlands which will provide 60 affordable homes. Our plans for the Titford Road site will transform a vacant area and bring it back into use by building affordable homes for people on the housing lists.
“We’re committed to building homes that meet the needs of our communities, and we look forward to seeing work start on this site soon.”
Approved in April 2025, the project has been designed in line with Natural England guidance to protect and enhance local ecology. Measures include retaining and improving the on-site watercourse, creating native-planted green buffer zones, and adding new public green spaces, aligning with Sandwell Council’s sustainable placemaking goals.
The partnership is also expected to generate wider economic benefits, including job creation and investment in local services.
