Our Managing Director for Europe, Paul Rodger has shared some thoughts on the European industrial and logistics sector for a feature in PERE's latest Special Report.   Despite ongoing macro volatility, Paul highlights the ongoing strong investor sentiment for the sector relative to others, the importance of asset location and relatability as occupier take up reverts the long-term average, and the continued attractiveness of Western Europe.   “Germany, Benelux and France continue to see strong, risk-adjusted opportunities. We are targeting mid-box logistics and warehousing space that can be sub-divided and multi-let, in addition to last mile and light industrial space.”

Our CEO Andrew Wooler shares his thoughts in Green Street News on how the evolution of the commercial real estate sector into a more operationally intense asset class has forced companies to invest in a diverse range of skills, in order to provide a first-rate tenant experience whilst also maximising revenue.
