Robert Rae, Principal at Avison Young, commented:
“These lettings underline the ongoing demand in the market for Grade A logistics stock in general, and specifically in the East Midlands, which has been the dominant region for big box take-up for the past three years, due to its central location and availability of a wide range of buildings and land.”
