Development interest in Gants Hill centres on upgrading the existing building stock — re-roofing, new shopfronts, energy-efficiency retrofits, and internal reconfiguration feature prominently. The wider borough benefits from ilford town centre transformation with residential towers and public realm improvements, which lifts investor sentiment and attracts new occupier demand.
