Projects

The East Hemel employment area forms a major component of The Crown Estate’s wider East Hemel masterplan, which is proposed to deliver up to 2 million sq ft of employment floorspace alongside approximately 4,000 new homes, schools, community facilities and extensive green infrastructure. The commercial element is intended to create a significant new employment destination within Hertfordshire, supporting thousands of jobs and helping to balance housing growth with local economic opportunities.

Located adjacent to the M1 corridor and existing employment markets around Hemel Hempstead and Maylands Business Park, the scheme is planned to accommodate a broad range of employment uses, including industrial, logistics, research and development, advanced manufacturing, and office space. The development is designed to capitalise on its strategic location and excellent connectivity through the provision of an enhanced strategic junction with the M1 including futureproofing for wider long term growth while promoting sustainable travel through enhanced public transport, walking and cycling links.

As part of the wider Hemel Garden Communities programme, the employment site is expected to play a key role in driving regional economic growth, attracting inward investment, and creating long-term employment opportunities for existing and future residents within a mixed-use, landscape-led masterplan that integrates homes, jobs and community facilities.
