Regeneration specialist Muse has appointed Grace Alderson as senior development manager in its Yorkshire and North East team.
She moves after eight years at Vistry Group, where she progressed from graduate trainee to head of development. In that time, she led the delivery of major mixed‑use regeneration schemes across London, including Pudding Mill Lane in Stratford, a 1,000-home joint venture development with London Legacy Development Corporation.
Muse said the recruit has a strong track record in managing multidisciplinary teams, navigating legal and commercial challenges and guiding major multi‑phase developments from early vision through to delivery.
Alderson will support the delivery of major placemaking projects in Gateshead and Bradford, including reworking of the Baltic Quarter site forming part of Gateshead Council's wider regeneration of the area.
Simon Dew, director of development management at Muse, said in a statement: "Grace’s arrival strengthens our ability to deliver long-term regeneration with communities at its heart.
"She brings a blend of technical expertise and genuine passion for placemaking, shaped by years of working on complex, mixed-use neighbourhoods.
"Her experience will be invaluable as we progress our work in Gateshead and Bradford alongside our local authority partners, helping to create places that support people, businesses and the wider region."
