OCCUPATIONAL MARKET COMMENTARY Leeds is a highly sought after industrial location due to its close proximity to the and M1 motorway. The industrial market is buoyant with limited stock and high levels of occupier demand driving rental growth. Over 700,000 sq ft of industrial/warehouse space was transacted across West Yorkshire during the second half of 2017 involving units above 50,000 sq ft. High quality existing and new build industrial stock in the mid size range (30-75,000 sq ft) remains in short supply and there was limited speculative development in 2017. The restrictions in new development and land supply will continue to drive demand and rental values in the Leeds industrial market. Prime rents for mid sized distribution warehouse units (30-75,000 sq ft) in the West Yorkshire market currently stand at 6.00 per sq ft. Prime rents under 30,000 sq ft currently stand at 6.50 per sq ft.

This is based off 5.75 per sq ft on Unit C, 5.25 per sq ft on Unit D and 6.25 per sq ft on Unit E. INVESTMENT MARKET COMMENTARY The industrial investment market continues to experience strong investor demand. There has been very little development in recent years and investors are attracted by the imbalance of supply and demand. Prime and good quality secondary assets remain in short supply which has led to competitive bidding, a trend which is expected to continue. 70m of industrial property was transacted in the Leeds market in 2017. Prime net initial yields now stand at 5.10%.
