Farmers with under-utilised agricultural buildings are often in an ideal position to diversify into commercial property. With the shortage of storage space close to the Port of Felixstowe and the Sizewell C nuclear scheme gaining momentum, Suffolk is experiencing increasing demand for land and industrial units.

Hillwood's five-unit ‘Access @ Eastern Gateway’ development on Ipswich's Sproughton Road – the region’s premier industrial and logistics scheme – is set to benefit from even greater connectivity, with final infrastructure upgrades taking place from January until June 2026. The works include the construction of a new roundabout, along with cycle and pedestrian routes along Sproughton Road.
