Property Week reports that Crawley Council has shortlisted 3 developers for a proposed redevelopment of the town centre. The Council has chosen Stanhope Delancey subsiduary Centros with Bellmont Securities and Lendlease for the town centre north redevelopment. It is understood that the Council is considering reducing the scale of the scheme however any redevelopment is believed to be contingent on John Lewis agreeing to open a department store.

Crawley continues to attract companies seeking well located and modern office premises. Nestlé’s recent move from Croydon to Manor Royal, Crawley was a boost for the local market.

Mellersh & Harding have recently acted for an in-house client in the sale of a substantial office investment on Gatwick Road, Crawley occupied by Toshiba Medical Systems. David Mundy, Investment Partner at Mellersh & Harding commented “there is good demand for well let offices in well located south-east locations. Having Gatwick Airport on the doorstep and an excellent rail service into Central London, makes Crawley a popular location for many companies.” Back
