Greater Essex launches Property Market Review at UKREiiF 2026

Greater Essex officially launched the second edition of the Property Market Review at the UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) on 19 May 2026.

Developed in collaboration with the real estate consultancy Lambert Smith Hampton and other local experts, the Review offers comprehensive analysis of the region’s real estate landscape.

It highlights Greater Essex’s strong performance across key real estate sectors, celebrates recent deals and development, and showcases investment-ready opportunities.

Julia Gregory, Chair of the Greater Essex Business Board, said: “The Review presents a compelling proposition for investors across the development sector. Already the sixth‑fastest growing economy in the UK, Greater Essex benefits from two international airports and two freeports, as well as being at the forefront of sectors from advanced manufacturing and MedTech to energy and logistics.”

Key highlights from the 2026 edition include:

  • Significant infrastructure milestones: From the opening of Beaulieu Park Station in Chelmsford, to funding secured to complete the A1331 Link Road which will unlock up to 7,750 homes at the Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community – one of the largest proposed developments in Greater Essex.
  • Major planning permissions: Includes the expansion of the Port of Tilbury, with a new rail‑connected freight terminal – known as Tilbury3 – supporting logistics and distribution activities.
  • Completions of private sector projects: Includes Arterial Park in Rochford, which provides high‑quality industrial and distribution space along the A127 corridor and benefits from proximity to London Southend Airport.
