The line increases London\u2019s train capacity by 10%.<\/p>\n<p>Hayes will be home to one of the new Crossrail stations. JLL recently <a href=\"http:\/\/residential.jll.co.uk\/new-residential-thinking-home\/research\/crossrail-identifying-opportunities-january-2015.aspx\">issued a report<\/a> forecasting +41% capital growth within a 750m radius of that station between the end of 2014 and 2020. Our properties are well within this distance.<\/p>\n<p>Once the line is complete in 2018, the journey from Hayes to Canary Wharf will be reduced from 70 minutes to 34 minutes, and the trip to Heathrow Airport from 12 minutes to 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The Council has approved plans to build a large, new Crossrail station immediately to the North of the existing station. The new glass-and-steel station, with a signature large, light ticket hall, is one of the many new buildings due in the area.<\/p>\n<div class=\"title-paragraph\">A \u00a3250m redevelopment<\/div>\n<p>Two large development companies, Development Securities and Cathedral Group, have started work on a major <a href=\"http:\/\/www.getwestlondon.co.uk\/news\/business\/firms-sign-up-move-old-8614934\">\u00a3250m multi-use regeneration project<\/a> in the heart of Hayes, just 300m from<br \/>\nthe station. The site is The Old Vinyl Factory, a 17-acre manufacturing facility formerly owned by the music company EMI.<\/p>\n<p>The scheme was approved in 2013 and will deliver 4,000 jobs, 650 homes and 750,000 sq ft of commercial and leisure space in Hayes by 2022.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.getwestlondon.co.uk\/news\/west-london-news\/work-begins-6m-hayes-town-8754506\">smaller project<\/a> is currently underway in Station Road and Coldharbour Lane, within close walking distance of our property. The council is investing in a \u2018facelift\u2019 in the area around the station and town centre. Improvements include new pavements, brighter street lighting, more trees, seating and cycle racks. The project is due to be completed before Crossrail goes live in 2018.<\/p>\n<div class=\"title-paragraph\">Transformation from declining industrial zone to high-tech and business hub<\/div>\n<p>Hayes has an industrial past. It was home to factories of firms including Heinz, Nestle and Fairey Aviation. However, it is now on its way to becoming a significant business and technology hub. <\/p>\n<p>Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, recently allocated \u00a37.7m to build a high-tech manufacturing incubator focusing on 3D printing technology in The Old Vinyl Factory. The incubator comes with a fund to invest in participating companies.<\/p>\n<p>High-tech companies are relocating to Hayes. US wireless music systems company Sonos and global IT firm Champ Cargosystems are among those that have committed to 10-year leases in the area recently and global internet infrastructure company Rackspace have just moved their international headquarters to a 10-acre site near Hayes &#038; Harlington station.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: auto; width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 10px auto;\"><a style=\"font-size: 15px; font-family: 'Lato' Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none; background-color: #44d371; border-top: 12px solid #44d371; border-bottom: 12px solid #44d371; border-left: 24px solid #44d371; border-right: 24px solid #44d371; border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px; -moz-border-radius: 4px; display: inline-block; letter-spacing: 1px;\" href=\"https:\/\/propertypartner.co\/s#\/grid-view\">Explore investment opportunities<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->\n<link href=\"\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/slim-10_7.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }\n\t\/* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.\n\t   We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. *\/\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup\">\n<form action=\"https:\/\/propertypartner.us9.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=bb49cbb22f66a692d5bb9ad74&amp;id=7f3b9b3eb1\" method=\"post\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" name=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" class=\"validate\" target=\"_blank\" novalidate>\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup_scroll\">\n\t<label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Subscribe to our monthly newsletter to access property market updates, Property Partner related news, and to hear about new investment opportunities.<\/label><br \/>\n\t<input type=\"email\" value=\"\" name=\"EMAIL\" class=\"email\" id=\"mce-EMAIL\" placeholder=\"email address\" required><br \/>\n    <!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups--><\/p>\n<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -5000px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"b_bb49cbb22f66a692d5bb9ad74_7f3b9b3eb1\" tabindex=\"-1\" value=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Subscribe\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe\" class=\"button\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--End mc_embed_signup--><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The investment case for Hayes, London We believe there is a compelling investment case for residential property in Hayes, in the London Borough of Hillingdon.
