Heathrow’s scale and expansion plans create significant investment potential across the surrounding area.
Around £49bn of private investment is planned for a third runway and supporting infrastructure, with delivery commencing in the early 2030s.
This will build on an established industrial and logistics ecosystem, including SEGRO’s 1.2m+ sq ft of airside cargo facilities.
Hillingdon, Hounslow and Slough Local Authorities are also investigating an Economic Activity Zone to support long-term growth across greater west London.

- Cargo capacity expected to increase by 50%
- Expansion will drive demand for industrial, logistics, office and transport infrastructure
