Other cities : Guangzhou-Foshan-Zhaoqing • Guangzhou: Owning one of top 10 container ports1 in the world, Guangzhou has been seeing strong and promising demand in its logistics market. This is also on the back of the edges in city’s long- held strong position and growth in trading and industry. • With the highest rent and largest market stock among all submarkets in Guangzhou, Huangpu remains the current hotspot for the city regarding the industrial agglomeration formed in the past decade. While we believe Nansha and Huadu are very likely to be the up-and-coming submarkets due to the accessibility (port and Zhaoqing airport) and the relatively lower land price. • Foshan: As the regional distribution center for western , we believe Foshan will continue thriving in its manufacturing industry, which will underpin the logistics demand for the city. Guangzhou • We believe the new supply in Foshan North could draw for more leasing activity, as the large-scale occupiers are keen to take up bulk area for operation, making the area to become a competitive submarket in the city.
