"There are a number of sizeable requirements across the region being discussed and we anticipate significant activity in the second half of the year"

"It is pleasing to see large scale speculative development return to the region after a prolonged absence which will encourage grade A take-up and further rental growth"

"Whilst supply has increased, this is skewed by the sizeable Lidl RDC, as otherwise supply has been reduced by the recent purchase of Vertex and letting of Colossus 1. Meanwhile no new build and very little other facilities of scale and quality have entered the market meaning that the Scottish Region is in much need of speculative development"

"Latest SPECS indicators show pressure on logistics build costs"

"Where next for industrial and logistics?"

"The fact that supply levels and vacancy rates have remained reasonably consistent for the last four years despite take-up volatility points to a market which is largely in equilibrium"

"London & the South East is a geographically large region and levels of supply remain critically low in many sub markets across the region, particularly around the northern and southern M25"

"Build to suit demand levels remain strong and in 2018 we expect grade A sites such as East Midlands Gateway and DIRFT III to absorb an increasing amount of these requirements"

"Another resolute performance across the West Midlands and with the supply remaining tight we anticipate a similar performance in 2018"

"2017 saw a similar number of transactions as 2016, but with a lower average size of deal we saw an reduction in take-up. With a number of large scale requirements in detailed discussions we are forecasting a strong year in 2018"
