Colchester

Colchester, the historic market town in the County of Essex, lays claim to be Britain’s oldest recorded town. A military garrison since the Roman era, the town maintains strong military connections, and despite the continued downsizing of the MOD holding, the town retains continued connections with the Parachute Regiment. Famous amongst military connections was the colloquially known ‘Glasshouse’, officially a military corrective training centre which held those from all miliary services who were given periods of detention. The garrison area of the town has undergone massive redevelopment over recent years, and the land sold for private housing development has therefore continued to see the resident population grow.

The town’s location adjacent to the A12, and more importantly for residential occupiers, the Great Eastern Mainline into London Liverpool Street. The town is served by three railway stations, Colchester, Colchester Town and Hythe. The town is situated approximately 26 miles north east of the City of Chelmsford and approximately 17 miles south west of Ipswich.

The town is a popular commuter location for the City of London but is commercially also well connected via the A12 to the major arterial routes of the M25 and the A14, including the port of Felixstowe.

Colchester town centre retains an established, but somewhat sprawling, retail centre but areas to the south of the town, such as Tollgate, have considerable out of town retail offers.

The rejuvenated area to the north of the town surrounding the stadium, home to Colchester United Football Club, has a considerable automotive bias, shortly to be joined by a new cinema and leisure offering. Whilst there are pockets of industrial/warehouse throughout the town, much of this has made way for residential leaving the key employment zone being situated close to the aforementioned stadium and on the nearby Severalls Business Park. Principally the town is undersupplied in terms of commercial space, or land availability, and thus the commercial occupier profile is generally in the small to mid bracket and has not seen the growth in larger warehousing seen in competing areas such as Chelmsford, Braintree and Ipswich.
