Hillwood Park in Crewe is set to become one of the UK’s largest speculative industrial developments of 2026, with over £100m of investment and almost 800,000 sq ft of new logistics space. The project strengthens Crewe’s position as a strategic logistics hub serving both the Midlands and North West, with work already underway to bring the site forward quickly.
A major land deal in Crewe has cleared the way for one of the UK’s largest speculative industrial schemes of 2026, unlocking a £100m logistics and employment hub at Hillwood Park.
Hillwood Park: £100m industrial hub
The deal will see three large industrial and logistics units delivered on a speculative basis at Hillwood Park, Crewe, with a combined floorspace of almost 800,000 sq ft.
The scheme is positioned as a super prime industrial and logistics site, targeting occupier demand from both the Midlands and North West regions.
Strategic location and infrastructure
Hillwood Park benefits from prominent links to Junction 16 of the M6, making it highly attractive for regional and national distribution operations.
Muse has already commenced enabling and infrastructure works on the estate, including main estate roads and delivery of key services and utilities to open up the site for development.
Development timeline and scale
The site is capable of starting on-site construction during 2026, placing it among the largest speculative industrial development projects expected to come forward in the UK this year.
Total capital investment at Hillwood Park Crewe is set to exceed £100m, underlining strong institutional appetite for well-located logistics land.
Investor and developer perspectives
Bob Tattrie of Hillwood UK described the transaction as a significant deal for a super prime site, highlighting confidence in occupier demand for a range of unit sizes.
Muse Development Manager Sarah Chicken said Hillwood’s commitment reinforces market confidence in the location and aligns with Muse’s long-term vision for a greener, healthier and more connected business community that supports local jobs and economic growth.
What it means for land and logistics
The Crewe project illustrates how strategic, infrastructure-ready land near key motorway junctions can attract nine-figure investment on a speculative basis, even before occupiers are secured.
For landowners and investors, Hillwood Park underscores continued depth of demand for large-scale logistics platforms in established transport corridors, with sites that can move quickly to a 2026 start particularly well-positioned.
