·Most of the key indicators in the industrial and logistics sector have remained broadly stable despite a deteriorating economic environment
·Prime rents in the sector are flat, leaving the CBRE EU-15 industrial rent index around 7.5% lower than at its mid-2008 peak. Similarly, prime yields have barely changed overall since the beginning of this year
·Occupiers in a number of markets are taking advantage of a period of rental weakness to upgrade from outdated space to more modern warehouse buildings
·Investment activity rose in the first half of this year, with Germany and CEE posting increased shares of investment turnover
The twin aims of flexibility and future-proofing are paramount
There is growing awareness of the need for agility in executing portfolio strategies, including tailoring occupational terms to specific situations
Occupiers’ aspirations towards customer service and landlord relations are also rising, with many looking for increased innovation from landlords
With the scope to source good buildings from built stock expected to remain limited, new approaches to development are gaining prominence particularly in emerging markets
Sustainability remains high on the agenda, and is seen as a form of operational risk management, a means of value enhancement and a buffer against future legislation
