Residents searching for Albion Forest City are usually circling the same proposal more commonly named Forest City 1 (FC1 / Forest City One). This page maps that phrasing to Albion City Development Corporation (ACDC)—the UK company on the public record—and states clearly where we stop at firm evidence.
What is Albion Forest City?
"Albion Forest City" does not appear here as a statutory project codename; it is shorthand some coverage and search queries use when joining Albion (the corporate brand) with the Forest City headline. Treat it as conversational language until a planning reference or registered trademark clarification is cited in an official register you can link to.
Who is Albion City Development Corporation?
Albion City Development Corporation Ltd (Companies House number 16758151) is the UK-incorporated company behind the promoter narrative. The developer site describes this limited company as ACDC and attaches the Forest City storytelling to it. What Companies House can corroborate independently is incorporation, registered office class, and officer appointments—not the commercial feasibility of the wider scheme.
For the relationship between corporate vehicles and planning reality, see the development corporation evidence page alongside this explainer.

Is Albion Forest City the same as Forest City 1?
In public-facing terms, promoters present ACDC / Albion-affiliated branding and Forest City 1 as one programme. Legislators still treat statutory steps (planning merits, parliamentary bills, compulsory purchase safeguards) as separate hurdles. Searching "albion forest city" should land you back on factual corporate and ministerial footing—avoid inferring Parliamentary approval merely from naming.

Corporate entity (Companies House)
Albion City Development Corporation Ltd was incorporated on 2 October 2025. Companies House records show director appointments (including Joseph Edmund Reeve). The developer site describes ACDC as the proposing entity; filings on the register remain the authoritative record of corporate particulars.
Founders
The developer site names Shiv Malik as a founder. Shiv Malik is a UK journalist and entrepreneur. We have not independently verified his role beyond what the promoter publishes.
Advisory roster
The promoter lists an advisory or committee roster. These names surface in their public-facing material—not in minutes we hold:
- Dame Patricia Hewitt — Chair; UK former cabinet minister
- Tim Leunig — UK economist
- Tom Chance — UK housing charity CEO
- Paul Powlesland — UK barrister
- Rico Wojtulewicz — UK construction policy
We cite the developer site here; we cannot guarantee current involvement or scope without primary correspondence. Use their pages for authoritative updates to roles.
What is publicly confirmed?
- Albion City Development Corporation Ltd exists on the UK company register—see the filing link above.
- Ministers acknowledge receipt of Forest City-linked proposals via parliamentary answers (see timeline).
- Officials expect to engage promoters; meanwhile government language holds that there are no confirmed plans for a Forest City-aligned development corporation.
What is not yet evidenced?
- Filer-ready masterplans, compulsory purchase footprints, ecology baselines.
- Confidential funding commitments, underwriting for CLT affordability claims or SEZ tariff assumptions independent of promoter PDFs.
- The proposition that parliamentary stages are inevitable—timing and appetite remain politically contingent.
Our ethos is factual summary and citation. Corrections belong with the named sources—we link them on sources.
