The global economic outlook remains positive for the European economy even if the Greek and more recently Chinese situation remain a concern for the future.

With 8.3 million sq m of industrial and logistics space transacted in Europe in H1 2015, occupier activity and leasing increased by 9% in one year. This is a remarkable performance given that 2014 was already a record year. Germany was the driver of this activity with 2.9 million sq m leased in H1 2015, a 19% increase year-on-year. The CEE submarket (including Ukraine) also performed well with almost 2 million sq m transacted up to July this year. Poland is now the third most active European industrial market surpassing France with 1.3 million sq m let in H1 2015.
Facing a lack of Grade A supply, corporates are reshaping their supply chain in an environment turned upside down by the e-retail boost. In recent months we have seen several occupiers looking at built-to-suit (BTS) solutions. The growing imbalance between strong demand and a supply shortage put upward pressure on rents, at least for the Grade A buildings. Cost-wise, we expect rental values to grow firmly in the UK and Ireland and at a more moderate pace in France and Germany.
