UK: Developer Lands Improvement has completed the final land transactions at High Leigh Garden Village, a major residential-led scheme in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, with a projected gross development value (GDV) of £280 million.
The final deal saw 2.2 acres of mixed-use land sold to care home operator Majesticare, which plans to deliver an 80-bed care home, a 110-place nursery, a 4,000 square foot convenience store, and an EV charging station on the site.

“The sales lay the foundations for much-needed housing with all the necessary ingredients to ensure it remains a vibrant neighbourhood for generations to come, with provision for young families all the way through to later living.”
