    INDUSTRIAL & LOGISTICS VIEWPOINT 2020 UK CONTENTS FOREWORD 4 NATIONAL MARKET 6 LONDON & THE SOUTH EAST 8 WEST LONDON 10 SOUTH WEST 12 MIDLANDS 14 NORTH WEST 16 YORKSHIRE & THE NORTH EAST 18 SCOTLAND 20 NORTHERN IRELAND 22 CAPITAL MARKETS 24 2 3 We are pleased to launch our new Industrial and Logistics Viewpoint 2020, which is designed to give you an overview of national and regional activity. Despite the political and economic uncertainty that many businesses in the UK faced in 2019, the Industrial and Logistics sector has remained resilient. Some of the key findings of this Viewpoint include: • Demand for industrial and logistics space in 2019 remained strong with take-up reaching in excess of 30m sq ft for the year, exceeding the 10-year annual average by 17%, but 14% below the record breaking 2018 • The industrial sector out-performed all other property asset classes in 2019, partly driven by very strong rental growth in London and key South East locations • Rental growth is expected to moderate in 2020, although logistics units located in heavily populated areas will reach above average returns • At the beginning of the year we were expecting 2020 to be a record year in terms of demand. However, material downside risks associated with the Covid-19 virus may limit the occupational upside. Should the virus run its course in the first half of 2020, we may expect to see a busy second half as occupiers regroup and press ahead with urgent projects For an informal chat, please do not hesitate to get in touch with either myself or one of the team.
