Out of the park

Article Abstract:

The Medway Towns may be adversely affected by the new Bluewater out-of-town retail and leisure centre. Although some agents feel local people will prefer to use closer amenities. The demand for industrial space is buoyant which may lead to some speculative development. Demand for office space is growing but speculative office development is not anticipated. The new Gillingham Northern Link road being built for 45 million pounds sterling and the 60 million pounds sterling Waisncott Northern Bypass are likely to open up the Medway Towns and make them a more popular area for development.

Reluctant partners

Article Abstract:

The combination of retail outlets and leisure facilities on developments located on the outskirts of towns are not popular because of parking difficulties, planning restrictions and differing rental values according to type of outlet. Some industry observers suggest that retail and leisure outlets can work well together, such as restaurants in a shopping area. Others point out that the stores would need to be linked to the available leisure facilities, such as sportswear shops near recreation centres. Cinemas are not popular on retail developments.

Hot fashion at a high price

Article Abstract:

There is currently very strong demand for retail property in the West End of London, England. This is particularly the case on New Bond Street, the centre of high fashion in the UK. Rents are rising as competition increases, and some observers believe that rental growth over the last year has been more than 10%. A key trend is the rise in the number of flagship stores, with the most recent deal involving US designer Calvin Klein.
