Industrial & LogisticsMidlands Overview Ian Cornock Lead Director – Midlands Region 11th July 2012
Supply & Demand • Supply of Grade A, high bay distribution space rapidly reducing • Supply of good quality second hand space also reducing • Demand – Robust demand particularly on new/good quality industrial space • Sectors showing particular activity include: • Automotive (proposed JLR 1,000,000 sq ft engine plant) • Food • Internet retailing • Underlying fragile economic circumstances • Funding is generally still very difficult
Example of Internet Parcel Hub • APC Logistics – Kingswood Lakeside Cannock New 130,000 sq ft cross dock facility currently under construction
Pre-Let Market • Most of the activity at the moment is from occupiers looking at existing buildings which can be acquired on perhaps more favourable terms. • With the diminishing stock of grade A space, we anticipate the pre-let/pre-sale market will improve later this year heading into 2013. Speculative Development • We are only seeing potential spec development in very prime core logistics areas and this is on a modest scale to start with.
Land Values/Rents • These can vary dramatically on location and quality of land and whether it is owner occupier or developer led. • As a range £200,000 per acre up to £400,000 per acre • Rents appear to be fairly static at around £5.50 ft2for new industrial buildings • Modern second hand - £4.00 to £4.50 ft2
Conclusions • Stock Diminishing • Speculative Development: Prime Locations? • Funding? • Preparation of sites for swift Design and Build
