Construction has officially commenced on a new state-of-the-art Trade City development in St Albans, bringing forward a high-quality industrial and trade counter scheme set to serve the dynamic Hertfordshire business community. With full planning permission secured, this modern new scheme will deliver 55,500 sq ft of flexible industrial space across 10 units, ranging in size from 4,349 sq ft to 6,555 sq ft.
Strategically located in the Brick Knoll Park Industrial Estate, just off Ashley Road, the site offers exceptional access to London, the M25, M1 and A1(M), placing occupiers at the heart of a high-demand logistics corridor. The development is being marketed by Colliers and Brasier Freeth and is expected to be available from May 2026.
Trade City St Albans is part of a growing network of high-specification, sustainable industrial schemes that focus on operational performance, environmental standards and adaptability. With St Albans’ proximity to Greater London and strong regional infrastructure, the scheme is ideally suited for SMEs, regional trade operators and growing logistics occupiers.
"We’re delighted to begin construction on Trade City St Albans, a scheme that aligns cutting-edge industrial design with sustainable, energy-efficient and flexible building practices. “This development is a major investment in St Albans’ commercial future, offering occupiers a modern specification throughout, with the flexibility, connectivity and sustainability credentials they increasingly demand.
