A liberal approach
Article Abstract:
The real estate market in Oxford, England, has been constrained by the need to preserve the historic city center, but land has been available on the outskirts for office and commercial development. There are 88 acres set aside at the Oxford Business Park by Arlington Securities. This park is the site of the sole speculative office project carried out in the three years to 1995. There is decreasing supply of modern office space in the city center, but rents have not risen high enough to justify new developments.

High hopes, low risk?
Article Abstract:
The West Midlands high-bay warehousing market has reached maturity and customers prefer units which are ready to use. This is the reasoning behind a speculative development in Tamworth, West Midlands, by Land Securities. Other companies note the shortage of space of this type in the region. Warehousing needs good road links and proximity to a major settlement in order to secure employees. Some local government bodies argue that warehousing does not create many jobs, but this is not true.

A good year for growth
Article Abstract:
Andover, England, has seen increased demand for industrial space in 1994, though the market for office space has been quieter. The town has benefited from spending on road links, and is classified as a growth town in planning terms. Supply of industrial space is decreasing and there is concern that new developments should meet this demand rather than cater for the office market. The main retail site in Andover is the Chantry Centre which has been refurbished.
