How Amazon’s Investment in Doncaster is Driving Demand for HMO Properties
July 8, 2025
Doncaster has rapidly become a key logistics hub in the North of England and one of the biggest reasons behind this growth is Amazon’s significant investment in the area With multiple state of the art warehouses and infrastructure projects launched Amazon has helped transform Doncaster’s economy creating thousands of jobs and boosting demand for local housing especially high quality shared accommodation
At Foot Forward Properties we are seeing first hand how this surge in employment is driving up demand for our fully compliant HMO developments in and around Doncaster
Amazon’s Growing Footprint in Doncaster
Over the past few years Amazon has committed billions of pounds to developing logistics infrastructure in Doncaster One of the most notable sites is the Amazon Fulfilment Centre at the iPort a 337 acre logistics hub located just off the M18
The iPort is one of the UK’s largest multimodal logistics hubs offering direct access to the motorway network and a dedicated rail freight terminal This strategic location allows Amazon and other major logistics firms to efficiently serve the entire UK
Amazon’s presence at the iPort alone has created hundreds of full time permanent jobs with even more seasonal and part time opportunities during peak periods These roles range from warehouse operatives to team leaders and managerial positions
The Impact on Doncaster’s Housing Market
With thousands of new jobs being created in the logistics and distribution sectors the demand for rental accommodation in Doncaster has risen sharply Workers from across the region and beyond are relocating to Doncaster to take advantage of these job opportunities and many are looking for flexible cost effective living arrangements
