Industrial real estate services

As occupiers across the country continue to look for more efficiency through size and scale in their networks, and with increasing growth of online retail, Big Box logistics will continue to be an area of significant growth.

With our intimate regional knowledge we help to meet the demand in the sector by taking a lead role in the development of new sites and facilities, from feasibility all the way through to land acquisition, planning, project management and the transactions of industrial properties to let and industrial properties for sale.

We advise on transactions of more than 20 million sq ft of industrial space each year.

Our involvement however doesn’t stop there. We take a much more holistic view, advising on the additional support, infrastructure and changes needed to make it all work.

It’s not only about creating new spaces either. We also help to improve the quality of existing spaces; increasing the energy efficiency, reducing obsolescence and taking advantage of development opportunities.

Demand for industrial accommodation is growing but supply is falling, as these locations are being challenged by competing uses. For example with space at a premium and a shortage of housing, the market is seeing many urban industrial locations lined up as potential residential development sites.

This increased demand from differing uses is seeing new trends develop in some parts of the country, such as multi-storey buildings and industrial use alongside residential.

We can provide the advice and solutions to help our clients manage all competing interests.

This traditional backbone of the economy has seen many changes over the past 50 years, but recently technological changes, logistics and ethics have attracted many manufacturers back to the UK, increasing demand for facilities across the country.

These spaces often require bespoke solutions and buildings, which can present a number of challenges. From securing planning permission, to project managing the delivery of new industrial units and finding industrial properties for sale, we can support the full property lifecycle around manufacturing.

The pressures from alternative uses, regulation and planning means identifying development land presents multiple challenges.

We help investors, developers and landowners to buy and sell industrial land across the country. We identify the right opportunities for acquisition and realise best value through sales on individual plots through to strategic sites.
