Site Description

Borehamwood is entering a new phase of growth, and now is the time for investors and development partners to engage.

The town centre masterplan focuses on the coordinated regeneration of key town centre sites delivering over 2,000 new homes, major commercial space and £780m in GDV. Leading the charge is the Civic Centre Car Park scheme: 300 new homes, a new leisure and cultural hub, hotel, commercial floorspace and upgraded NHS facilities anchoring footfall, boosting the evening economy and setting the tone for wider regeneration.

Borehamwood sits at the heart of one of the UK’s most important screen-industry clusters. It is home to Elstree Studios, a major centre for film and TV production with nearly a century of history, the BBC Elstree Centre, home of EastEnders and multiple broadcast studios, plus the newly developed Sky Studios Elstree, a modern facility opened in 2022. Together, these anchor institutions create a powerful creative ecosystem which is an immediate advantage for operators, investors and future talent pipelines. 

Existing unmet demand in hotel, leisure, and F&B spend highlights immediate market opportunity. The scheme will reposition the town  centre as a more vibrant and commercially resilient destination.

New housing, an improved public realm and a stronger place identity will retain spend, capture business travel demand and attract quality operators, underpinning occupancy and long-term rental growth.

Backed by Hertsmere Borough Council and a multidisciplinary delivery  team, the programme offers a well‑prepared, low‑risk entry point with  flexible investment models across residential, leisure, hotel and F&B.
