Key link in the chain
Article Abstract:
The East Midlands, England, is a very popular location for distribution outlets due to its central location within the UK. Some local agents suggest demand for industrial buildings in the region will rise as Internet and home shopping increases. There is little speculative development despite the demand for buildings and rents remain at about 4.50-4.75 pounds sterling per sq ft. Some distribution firms are preparing to use rail freight, as an alternative to road, and are building warehouses near rail links. The slow down in the UK economy may cause the demand for warehouses to decrease.

Cardinal virtue
Article Abstract:
Securicor Omega Logistics took possession of a 11,612 sq mt warehouse building at Cardinal Park in Godmanchester, England, in 1996. This site offers very good transport links, with easy access to a number of main routes. The site is operated on a shared user basis, and has features which are appropriate to many types of business. There have been a number of minor problems with the facility, but it has generally met the company's requirements. It is shortly to decide whether to increase the size of the facility to 22,296 sq mt.
