Indicating a move to a faster lane

Article Abstract:

The town of Thurrock has become a key distribution centre over recent years, benefiting from its key location on the M25 and its proximity to the Essex ports. The automotive industry, especially Ford, has played a key role in attracting occupiers to the area, but property activity has also been encouraged by a general improvement in economic conditions. There are still opportunities for occupiers seeking to establish a distribution centre in Thurrock.

Drifting to the west

Article Abstract:

The office property market in central Edinburgh, Scotland, looks set to see a revival. There is also growing demand for decentralised locations, and this could prompt speculative development in the west of the city. The change of use to residential development is boosting the central office market, and large amounts of office space may come off the market. This could lead to a shortage of supply in this area.

Waiting for a knight in armour

Article Abstract:

The decline in the supply of vacant office accommodation in Uxbridge has led to a slight rise in rents recently. The town benefits from being near Heathrow Airport and from its good road and rail links. Key developments include the Uxbridge One scheme, where around 46,000 sq ft remains unlet. Development work could revive once rents rise to a particular level.
