OCCUPATIONAL MARKET COMMENTARY Property Size (sq ft) Tenant Rent ( psf) Term Date Occupational demand in the Greater Manchester region remains exceptionally strong for good quality well located stock, fuelled largely by the continuing growth of e-commerce and the internet fulfilment sector. The prevailing industrial occupational market in Greater Manchester is characterised by record constrained supply, especially of good quality small to mid size business units. The supply of good quality accommodation ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 sq ft remains low, with extremely limited speculative development of units in this size range. Olympic Court is therefore ideally placed to capitalise on the increased number of occupational requirements in this size bracket. This dearth of stock is resulting in increasing pressure on rents, which are predicted to rise even further due to the weight of demand from occupiers. Comparable letting activity has predominantly taken place at Trafford Park, where rental levels range from between 5.75 psf and 7.00 psf. The rental premium attached to Trafford Park makes Olympic Court highly attractive to occupiers as it offers similar communications along with the amenities provided by MediaCityUK, but at a discounted rent that will continue to generate significant occupier demand.
