Breaking the barrier

Article Abstract:

Local agents in Brentford, London, England, are concerned the 765,070 sq ft building for Samsung may not go ahead due to the economic crisis in South Korea. A few companies are looking for space in the area but little speculative building is progressing. Local agents in Hammersmith, London, England, report increasing interest in the area, as office space in the West End, London, is in short supply. The problem of increasing traffic has yet to be resolved although there are three underground railway lines serving the area. The local authorities are restricting parking on new office sites.

CAPITAL BANK is expanding and has taken on about 1500 new employees since 1995.

Growing pains

Article Abstract:

The city of Cambridge, England, has become a key centre for business parks, with sites and planned developments all around its boundaries. There is local recognition that demand for land needs to be managed, and this has prompted the creation of Cambridge Futures, which brings together local politicians, business leaders, academics and council officials. This body will look at issues including transport links, green belt development and restricting the expansion of the city centre.
