09 OCCUPATIONAL MARKET OCCUPATIONAL LOGISTICS MARKET Overall, occupational demand for high quality and well-located logistics facilities remains robust. This is principally being driven by the response to changing consumer shopping patterns and the increased demand for new and expanding e-commerce and discount retailing platforms, as well as a resilience in UK manufacturing. INVESTMENT MARKET MARKET COMMENTARY The UK Logistics Investment market has remained very popular through 2017 with both UK and overseas investors. Kimmre have tracked deal volume of close to 3 billion from January to October 2017 in the sector. Core locations are seeing rental growth fueled by a lack of supply coupled with strong tenant demand. Comparable investment evidence is set out below: The East Midlands continues to be one of the UK s strongest performing logistics markets with high levels of take-up and historically low availability driving robust rental growth over the last three years. Quoting rents for prime design and build sites or new build are currently between 6.50 to 6.75 psf in Northampton and forecast to grow further.
