  • State of the Downtown Executive Summary
    City of London State of the Downtown 2015 Acknowledgments This document would not have been possible without the contribution of staff within many City of London services, including: Taxation and Revenue; Finance; Traffic; Parking; and the Culture Office; Downtown London; the London Convention Centre; London Public Library; CBRE, and all those that provided data. The City of London Planning Services Urban Regeneration Division 2017 2015 State of the Downtown Executive Summary The City of London has been tracking information on the health of the downtown since 2003. This report is the seventh edition of the State of the Downtown report and addresses the two-year period of January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015. This edition provides the most comprehensive review of London's downtown to date, with new indicators and measures to track the future progress of the downtown. Between 2014 and 2015, the downtown has experienced a great deal of investment from the public and private sectors. The development incentive programs offered by the City of London contributed approximately $800,000 in loans during this two-year period, leveraging nearly $2.6 million in construction value through private sector investment. Major building renovations, such as the former Kingsmill's building and "The Cube", as well as proposed new construction of high-rise mixed-use residential development highlight interest in the downtown. In 2015, the downtown retained approximately 80% of London's total supply of office space. However, 2014 and 2015 experienced a relatively high overall office vacancy rate. Retail vacancy rates remained healthy throughout this time period, with a net gain of 18 new businesses in 2015.
