New Waltham Abbey Industrial Estate Changes Hands

Qualis Commercial, advised by Montagu Evans, has sold the Waltham Connect industrial estate in Waltham Abbey to a private investor.

The new build estate was completed in September 2024 and totals 32,750 sq ft across four high-specification units ranging from 5,958 sq ft to 10,157 sq ft.

Each building offers 8.85m clear internal height, a level access loading door, ground floor reception space and first floor offices. 10+ car parking spaces are provided per unit, including 2 EV charging points per unit, with provision for more. It has been designed to achieve BREEAM ‘Very Good’ and EPC A+ certifications with sustainability features, including rooftop PV panels.

The estate is located two miles from J26 of the M25 and three miles from the A10. Waltham Cross station connecting with Liverpool Street and Stratford is also three miles away, and the scheme is served by bus routes to Walthamstow, Chingford and Harlow.

Montagu Evans has been retained as the leasing agent for the estate under the new name of Abbey Trade Park.

Tom Paton-Smith, Partner and head of Montagu Evans’ industrial and logistics team, said: “This is a well-located, high-quality commercial development, addressing the shortage of new build, ESG-compliant units in the area. It is particularly attractive given strong appetite from the trade sector for these more affordable fringe locations and that each unit has been designed flexibly, with these types of businesses in mind.”
