Why invest in Chelmsford commercial real estate?
Strategically located just a 30-minute train ride from London, Chelmsford is an attractive commuter town with a robust economy, growing population, and strong financial services sector. It’s also the site of several major infrastructure projects – like the £195m Beaulieu Park railway station – alongside ongoing regeneration initiatives and a commitment to sustainable development.
With a population that’s expected to grow by 11% between 2021 and 2041, this picturesque Essex city feels vibrant and progress oriented. From an economic point of view, there’s much going on here, with exciting developments in advanced manufacturing, the life sciences, tech and healthcare.
All this makes for a thriving, future-focused city with great commercial real estate investment appeal.
Navigating the Chelmsford commercial property landscape
Chelmsford’s commercial property landscape is characterised by a strong and consistent demand for office space, as well as industrial, logistics, and retail units. The city’s council is committed to promoting sustainability, resulting in plenty of interesting opportunities for investment in green retrofits and net-zero aligned new builds.
Conversely, this local focus on sustainability may influence planning applications – a potential challenge our Chelmsford team can help you navigate, while uncovering compelling investment opportunities for you across the city.
