Situation
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.

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. 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.

The last year has been a big year for the commercial property market in Ashford, with key developments put in place to support continued growth, despite the impact of COVID-19. Ashford has become an increasingly important commercial area and is in a strong position to weather the unprecedented times facing business and the property market.Recent visitors to Ashford will have seen major projects taking shape, such as Connect 38 in the Commercial Quarter, the biggest office block built in Kent in 20 years. In late 2019 saw the launch of the £90m extension of the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet, providing 9,290m² (100,000ft²) comprising 50 retail units, parking, a food piazza, a Garden of Light installation and a children’s play area, widening its appeal as a leisure and retail destination.

Meanwhile, delivery of M20 Junction 10a, which opened to traffic in 2019 and will be fully completed in summer 2020, provides substantial opportunity for increased property development including Waterbrook Park and the Finberry residential development. The 52.6ha (130acre) mixed-use scheme at Waterbrook Park is due to see the completion this year of 4,645m² (50,000ft²) of space in units ranging from 186-1,022m² (2,067-10,908ft²). The former 11ha (27acre) MOJO site, adjacent to Junction 10a, has been bought by government and is being developed into a customs area to ensure goods can be imported and exported easily after Brexit.
