Development powerhouses – coming to the fore when the market’s running out of product

November 23, 2021 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

With many markets fast running out of product and occupiers desperate to expand, there is only one way to create more product – build it. Given the market dynamics it should be a fine time for developers to make hay. But getting the right sites under control and warehouses out of the ground, while maintaining a healthy profit margin amid fierce competition is no easy feat.

React News’ latest logistics panel will cover:

• The art of multistorey
• To spec or not to spec
• Maintaining margins amid high competition
• The evolving challenges of creating urban logistics
• Keeping construction costs under control
• Getting access to land
