OCCUPIER TREND: COST CONCERNS
While demand is strengthening in a number of European markets,
occupiers have remained cost conscious over the year, and
consequently space rationalisation and consolidations have
continued to drive a large component of regional market activity.
However, there has been a divergence between prime and
secondary space, with occupiers showing an increasing preference
for good quality space rather than secondary. As a result, it has
primarily been those locations that are experiencing a shortage of
prime space that have seen rents rise over the year.
