Since 2012, the organisation has completed 22 new buildings; 10 of which are new schools with the remainder made up of health centres, care homes and social housing, as well as libraries, museums and art galleries.
More than £250 million of infrastructure is now open, while a further £151m is under construction and another £194m of work in development (totalling £595m)
More than half (53%) of the new project work is undertaken by SME's within the territory. With 16,700 jobs currently supported by projects under construction, almost 8,000 are local residents.

Public bodies in the area benefit from a unique strategic development fund established by hub to enable early feasibility work to transform initial concepts into buildings. To date, this fund has provided over £2.6 million to kick start community projects.
Ian Mullen, Chairman of hub East Central Scotland, said the hub is now "at the heart of the delivery of high quality public infrastructure that serves communities across the region".
"Our teams continue to deliver high quality buildings designed to meet the needs of the communities they serve," he said.
"We are moving forward each year, working closely with our public sector Participants to support their strategic development plans and transform them in to high quality community facilities.
"hub has made a significant contribution to the local economy of the region with more than half of the value of work awarded to SME’s within the territory."
