Windsor and Maidenhead Council is looking for a development partner to help it bring forward four residential-led mixed-use sites that have potential for more than 1,000 homes.
The council is hoping to cash in on growing demand for suburban locations with fast transport links.
Crossrail is set to arrive in Maidenhead in 2019.
The four sites at York Road, West Street, Reform Road and St Cloud’s Way, which total 15.6 acres, do not have planning permission.
Council leader Simon Dudley said the residential provision on the sites would cater for all tenures.
Plans for the sites are expected to include new commercial space, a cultural quarter and leisure and entertainment facilities with work beginning in 2018.
New commercial occupiers in the town include Maersk Line and Blackberry, which paid a record rent of £37.50 per sq ft in TH Real Estate’s Pearce Building.
