Welcome to the 2014 edition of Market Monitor.
This report provides a review of the commercial property market in the South West of England and Wales over the past 12 months, with data, trends and market analysis on 12 key regional centres.
After a year of steady GDP growth and improved confidence, particularly in the manufacturing, construction and service sectors, prospects for the region’s occupier market are at their most optimistic since the downturn began in 2008.
As forecast in last year’s Market Monitor, stronger office and industrial take up combined with a greater shortage of new well-specified space led to a return of speculative development in 2013, the first for over four years. Two high profile office schemes are now underway in Bristol city centre, both of which could push rental levels over the £27.50 per sq ft mark. There are also speculative industrial schemes underway in Bristol, Gloucester, Wellington, Bridgwater and Newquay.
The region’s retail sector benefits from continued investment, with new retail schemes either in the pipeline or recently completed in Swindon, Gloucester, Exeter, Plymouth, Newport, Swansea, Taunton and Yeovil.
Together with a resurgent residential land market and strengthening investor confidence in the regions, we expect to see improving occupier demand and an increasing level of development and investment activity in 2014.
