Luton steps on the gas
Article Abstract:
There has been increasing interest in office property in Luton, England, since early 1999. However, there is still a disparity between office rents in town and those out of town. Property agents believe that the opening of the fifth runway at Luton airport will have a positive impact on the local property market. One of the key difficulties facing the office property market is the lack of parking facilities. There is only limited availability of industrial buildings, and attention is turning to speculative developments again.

Needed: space to grow
Article Abstract:
There is a shortage of industrial buildings in Bedford, England. This has prompted plans to develop a 16 ha site adjoining the converted Thurleigh Airfield motor sport centre near the town. Bedford's office property market is very active, with lack of space beginning to drive up prices. It is anticipated that rents will rise to 108 pounds sterling per sq mt in 2000. In the retail sector, there is strong interest in prime pitches, with very few units available.
