ASHFORDASHFORDASHFORD
LondonLondonLondon LOCATION Ashford is a significant Kent town with a population of approximately 118,000, which has had a 14.9% increase over the last decade, one of the fastest growing towns in the south east.
Ashford has excellent infrastructure being located 54 miles south east of London at junction 9 and 10 of the M20 motorway. In addition, the Government has committed to fund the long-awaited junction 10a. The proposed development will include a new dual carriageway link road to the existing A2070 Southern Orbital Road and will also connect to the A20 Hythe Road.
Ashford has seen rapid expansion over the last 15 years with Ashford International train station 2.5 miles away providing frequent high speed trains to London Kings Cross St Pancras in just 38 minutes. It is now a major terminus for Channel Tunnel trains providing 37 Eurostar trains per week to Europe.
The town has been designated ‘The Growth Town of Kent’, with local businesses benefiting from the creation of a further 27,810 jobs and homes for 30,780 residents by 2031. Now 6,000 businesses employ more than 51,000 people with 1.7m employees lying within a 60 minute drive from the town. As such Ashford has become a commercial powerhouse in the South East.
Retail in Ashford Town Centre is centred around County Square which has 5 million visitors per year with footfall to the town centre rising by 5.7% in 2016. 47% of the town centre shops are occupied by independent retailers.
Ashford has attracted nearly £700m of investment in the town. Current development activity includes:
Commercial Quarter - 16 acre site adjoining Ashford International Station, a joint venture between the Council, Quinn Estates and Wilson Holdings to provide 600,000 sq ft of office space, 150 residential units, and a new piazza.
Elwick Place - town centre leisure-led development by London developer Stanhope. Consent for a six-screen, 897 seat, boutique Picturehouse cinema, a 58 bed hotel, 8 new restaurants/cafes, 282 new car parking spaces and new public space.
Designer Outlet Extension - near the international railway station, owners McAthur Glen are underway to add a further 100,000 sq ft to this tented retail mecca. Fifty new stores, restaurants and extra car parking are proposed, creating up to 700 new jobs.
Chilmington Green - this residential development will provide around 5,750 new homes across the next 25 years. Construction started in Spring 2017.
Finberry Village - a new residential development by Crest Nicholson, which will eventually provide 1,180 homes on a 168 hectare site.
Ashford College - an exciting new £26m campus that opened in 2017 to provide state-of-the-art vocational skills and training facilities in the town centre.
Victoria Way/Aldi Foodstore - Developers U+I are working on a £180m rejuvenation project along Victoria Way which has already seen £25m of public realm improvement and will include 660 new homes. A second scheme will create a further 200 homes, a 120-bed hotel, and an Aldi supermarket.

OFFICE MARKET Activity in the office investment market improved notably towards the end of 2017 with early evidence suggesting total trading for offices across the UK will exceed £1.6bn. Rental growth is anticipated for prime rents in regional markets, with yields mostly remaining stable for core assets and softening slightly only on secondary property. Looking forward, it is expected factors such as location and quality will be key in determining how assets respond to changing markets ahead.
Ashford Investment Market Office market supply in south east London and Kent was slightly lower than the previous year by 2% at end Q1 2017 with a total availability of 1.4m sq ft. Demand has improved 27% over the same period with particularly strong demand for buildings exceeding 10,000 sq ft, which exhibited a 38% increase.
Prime yields hardened in town centres and remained stable in out of town parks throughout 2017 as the market exhibits steadily increasing rents and capital values on offices. This continuing increase in economic activity will no doubt be helped by the Government’s confirmation of the Lower Thames Crossing further improving connections between Kent, the south-east and London markets.
(source: 2017 Kent Property Market http://www.kentpropertymarket.com/)
Rental Market Rents at Eureka Business Park compare favourably in respect of offering value compared to other business parks in Kent which have shown an average prime business park rental increase of 14% over the last 3 years. Headline rents in 2017 are in the region of £25 per sq ft at Kings Hill and ranging from £22 - £24 per sq ft at Crossways Business Park.
Eureka Business Park has headline rents of approximately £19 psf, which provides good potential for rental growth when compared to rents achieved at comparable business parks. Headline rents in Ashford are set to be broken with the forthcoming building completion (PC due May 2018) of 66,000 sq ft ACQ One at Ashford Commercial Quarter, adjoining the train station, where a rent of £24 per sq ft is being quoted.
