FALCON QUARTER HUNTINGDON

Huntingdon This prime town centre development offers an exceptional opportunity to create a vibrant residential Quarter, with excellent transport connections providing direct access to London, Cambridge, Midlands and the North.

Falcon Quarter is located at Edison Bell Way and George Street, directly opposite Huntingdon mainline Railway Station and the Guided Busway to Cambridge. Immediately to the east of the development is Huntingdon Town Centre. To the west it is a short walk from Hinchingbrooke Hospital (8 mins), the exceptional Hinchingbrooke Secondary School (5 mins) and Cambridgeshire Constabulary and Fire and Rescue HQ (3 mins).

Strategically located within the heart of the South East, Huntingdon continues to expand benefiting from a general catchment of 170,000 people. Huntingdon has transformed as a consequence of major investment with the new A14 and the Town Centre redevelopment. It also has a strong retail base and the pedestrianised High Street supports a selection of national retailers together with a good range of local shops and restaurants.

Huntingdon is a major employment centre within the Region and has enjoyed rapid growth over the last 10 years with a further 8,000 new jobs being created. The economic growth plan for the Huntingdon area anticipates that by 2023, Huntingdonshire will be the fastest growing District in Cambridgeshire and one of the top 10 places to live, work and invest in England. This has recently been endorsed by the Mayor of Cambridgeshire & Peterborough confirming that Cambridgeshire County Council will be relocating their Headquarters to Alconbury, within a 10 minute drive from the site.

½JOURNEY TIME FROM

HUNTINGDON TO CAMBRIDGE

HAlVED BY 2021

RoAds

Huntingdon is ideally situated only 1 mile from the A1/

A14 interchange, providing excellent north/south links

via the A1 and good links to the Midlands and the east

coast ports.

A £1.5 billion, 17 mile motorway bypass is under

construction to the south of Huntingdon. Due to open

in 2020, the bypass will remove the elevated A14 and its

long distance traffic from the town reducing the journey

time to Cambridge to around 20 minutes.

Further information on this upgrade can be found on:
