Industrial Market 2014/5 Weakening Euro, lower fuel costs, growth in on‐line sales, increased exports all positive indicators for the market The changing dynamics of the retail market will create a new driver for the industrial sector.

Retail Market Change in the ownership structure of retail in Ireland, going to lead to intense asset management plans over next 3 -5 years. Retail is going to be more of a partnership between landlords and tenants. Dublin’s prime retail areas extending to surrounding streets e.g. H&M/ Abercrombie. Prime buildings as important as prime location Redevelopment/ expansion of existing Centres: St. Stephen Green/ Liffey Valley/ The Square / Kildare Outlet Centre Shopping Centres will evolved to provide more of a rounded experience and to increase dwell time Change as technology and the internet continue to evolve – click &collect, impact likely to be greater in middle market As more new homes are completed strong demand from occupiers for the stronger retail parks in the larger urban centres. 30
