Weitere Villen entwarf Heyden für Lenneper und Langenberger Fabrikantenfamilien. Auch die Urheberschaft Christian Heydens für die Textilfabrik Wülfing in Dahlerau (nach Brand zwischen 1836 und 1845, vermutlich 1838) ist gesichert. Entwürfe für weitere Fabrikbauten im oberen Wupper-Tal stammen ebenfalls von Heyden. -->
Heyden took part in buildings of ''Gasanstalten'', including Barmen, Gütersloh and Dorsten.
