Chris Xitsas - The 2025 investment outlook for the UK Life Sciences sector In front of a very busy auditorium at the British Library on the morning of 3rd December 2024, while the rest of London’s Knowledge Quarter seemingly was mapping out their busy Christmas run-in, we discussed the investment outlook for the UK Life Sciences sector with the help of an illustrious panel consisting of David Marks at Brockton Everlast, Peter Langly-Smith at Reef Group, Will H. at Royal London Asset Management and Jackie Sadek representing the UK Innovation Corridor. The panellists represented businesses responsible for around 4.5 million square feet of life science real estate throughout the Golden Triangle of London, Cambridge and Oxford – either already operational or in the development pipeline – and a strategic partnership of more than 16 local authorities, six universities and 100s of innovation and life science companies in the London-Stansted-Cambridge sub-region. What were the key take-aways as we ‘follow the money’ in this sector? https://lnkd.in/dbuEWTWn #commercialrealestate #lifesciences #innovation #uklifesciences #development

I really enjoyed moderating the panel discussion at yesterday’s Movers & Shakers Property Networking Forum retail breakfast. We covered a huge and diverse number of topics from the impact of the budget, changes to business rates, which retail models are working, how to get the right tenant mix and how the industry is tackling sustainability and social value. Also managed to touch on green leases, a favourite topic for me! The audience asked what makes a successful retail offering, answers included… free parking, a clear purpose / role, great quality F&B anchor, an omni-channel offering and a solid narrative. Also thoroughly enjoyed Mark Stansfield of CoStar’s analysis of the market and hearing from Susannah Walker about how to make spaces accessible to women. Thanks to Allan Lockhart of NewRiver REIT, Ellen Peters of LUSH, James Rayner Related Argent, Louise Duggan Greater London Authority and Pablo Sueiras Landsec as well as Leigh Natasha Salter.

Charis Almond - Security of Tenure - Fit for Purpose? The Law Commission has published its long awaited consultation on whether security of tenure for business tenants under Part 2 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (the “1954 Act”) is fit for purpose. At present, Business tenants currently have security of tenure by default unless the parties follow the contracting out procedure. The Law Commission is asking whether a new model may be more appropriate and has proposed four possible alternatives. #commercialrealestate #realestatedisputes #realestatelitigation #securityoftenure

At London's Savoy hotel for #Moversandshakers Property Breakfast on #retail - what a morning, wonderful speakers and panel - chaired by Maples Teesdale LLP own Anastasia Klein. Highlights include Mark Stansfield of CoStar providing a positive outlook tempered with known but unquantifiable risks - pleased to hear that on-line shopping seems to have plateaued. Susannah Walker talking about making spaces for girls - big takeaway being just think about it when designing spaces, reminded me of Jane Jacob's seminal urban works on successful place making. Ellen Peters of Lush having insight into the budget - spot on the money I would say - 'tis a concern but we shall see. Louise Duggan of the GLA who called for clarity and consistency from Government with her "you cannot fix the roof while its raining" (totally stealing that saying for future use). Allan Lockhart, James Rayner & Pablo Suerias all having insights into the retail experience which was thought provoking and sensible. Pleased to report that I was listening despite being so full due to all the wonderful breakfast food! #commercialproperty
