UK logistics

"Our predictions for the six key trends that will shape the commercial sector in 2019"

"With constrained existing unit supply and a strong development pipeline we expect quoting rents to exceed £6 in the next 12 months"

"Whilst supply has increased, this is skewed by the sizeable Lidl RDC, as otherwise supply has been reduced by the recent purchase of Vertex and letting of Colossus 1. Meanwhile no new build and very little other facilities of scale and quality have entered the market meaning that the Scottish Region is in much need of speculative development"

"Latest SPECS indicators show pressure on logistics build costs"

"Whilst Brexit is meaning deals are generally taking longer to complete we believe there is pent up demand for good quality space, which is being supported by the rents that have been achieved this year"

"After a relatively sluggish first quarter, we are beginning to see take-up in line with the long term average. With a number of significant deals due to complete over summer, the region is set for another robust year"

"We are still searching for superlatives to describe the ongoing health of the UK logistics and industrial market"
