Following a regular quarterly office agency catch up I recently became aware of a local issue in Bristol which could have significant implications for office occupiers.
The issue in question, which could shape the Bristol office market in 2014 will be the Residents’ Parking Zone initiative aimed at banning commuter parking around the centre of Bristol. Mayor Ferguson has already introduced it to three Wards (Cotham, Kingsdown and Redland), with plans to roll it out to include 20 others over the course of this year. The scheme limits parking between 9.00am and 5.00pm to permit holders only, with 30 minutes’ free parking. Read the rest of this entry »

I knew the question would come (and promptly) when I told our PR team we were ready to release results of our survey amongst major occupiers of logistics and industrial real estate across Europe. They did not disappoint. It came immediately: ‘Is there a new big trend that will make an interesting headline? Anything newsworthy that is different from what we have been talking about already?’ Read the rest of this entry »

As the annual ICSC European conference kicks off in Istanbul this week, it is worth reflecting on one of the world’s great cities. Often described as being located at a crossroads between the east and west, Istanbul is a fascinating mix of two very different cultures. And this contrast is reflected in the retail market, where the centuries old Grand Bazaar sits alongside some of the most impressive new retail destinations in Europe. Read the rest of this entry »

We have had very good and interesting feedback on our recent Building Private Rented Communities (PRC) paper from February 2014. One of the more frequent questions I have been asked is on the rationale behind the new PRC terminology that we are actively encouraging in the market to replace Build-to- Rent.

10th March wasn’t a normal Monday morning for me. Instead of getting ready for the office, I was impatiently waiting for my first MIPIM experience to start. When I left for Cannes I knew I was heading to one of the largest real estate events in the world but it wasn’t until I got there that I fully appreciated its scale and significance. Over 21,000 participants from more than 90 countries were in attendance. An impressive number of innovative and sustainable real estate projects were on display from across the world.

Last week’s budget brought an announcement that may have significant implications for the industrial market in the UK relating to a change in planning laws which would give greater flexibility in change of use to residential from industrial use. George Osborne stated there will be a review of the English General Permitted Development Order. This is a new approach to planning permission / change of property usage that comprises a three-tier system: Read the rest of this entry »

Earlier this week I attended the European Logistics Association’s conference on ‘Innovation in Urban Logistics and Multimodal Platforms, held at the European Parliament in Brussels.
This was a very timely event, not least because the growth in e-commerce has put the spotlight on last mile solutions. In addition, there is growing interest in certain cities in looking at retail consolidation centres as a way of reducing congestion and cutting CO2, and other emissions. Read the rest of this entry »

With an improving economic prognosis and increased corporate confidence in the air, companies with available funds are starting to position themselves for growth and formulate longer term plans.
In considering growth strategies, it will be necessary to develop a focus on future talent requirements. There is no doubt in my mind that companies who recognise early the challenges and importance of attracting, retaining and stimulating requisite talent, will gain business advantage over those that are more reactive to needs.

The globalised nature of the world in which we live is visible in many aspects of our lives. Take a quick scan on Facebook to see how far and wide your friends are scattered, or alternatively just take a stroll down London’s prime retailing streets, Oxford Street, Regent Street or Bond Street, on a Friday lunchtime, and marvel at the huge variety of nationalities and accents on display.

For direct real estate real investment 2013 was an excellent year, but what about 2014? Well, we are quite positive and we base our outlook on three factors. Firstly, core assets remain in strong demand as the global rotation into real estate by big pension and sovereign wealth funds is not over yet. Secondly, investors are increasingly buying into the recovery in Europe and in 2013 the market has already broadened. And finally, 2013 saw the first signs of rental growth and with the European economy slowly showing improvement, we believe that growth can be an important theme in 2014.
