Another 112 million sq. ft. of #industrial and #logistics space will be required in the UK over the next five years - according to research by property advisors Knight Frank. They expect that demand will be driven by: - the country's growing population and an even higher urbanisation rate than today; - rising demand from e-commerce and physical retail; - a resurgence in demand from the manufacturing sector necessitated by nearshoring and re-shoring. #propertytrends #propertydevelopment #industrialandlogistics https://lnkd.in/e8G8bVvn

Private equity firm Silver Lake is preparing to explore a sale of Global Blue Group Holdings Ltd, a company that enables retailers to offer tax-free shopping after receiving expressions of interest from potential acquirers, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. The deliberations come as Global Blue recovers from the air travel slump caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which weighed on duty-free shopping. It still faces headwinds, including price inflation and the prospect of an economic recession in Europe, which the company says it can tackle. Silver Lake has hired an investment bank to explore options for Global Blue, which include a sale or capital market transactions, the sources said. Other companies and private equity firms have shown interest in acquiring Global Blue, the sources added. #PEInsights #privateequity #acquisition #investment

The code sets out guidelines and principles to enable fairer and more balanced lease negotiations between the landlords and tenants of retail premises, said the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) in a press release. These principles range from landlords not being allowed to mark up electricity rates to not requiring a security deposit that exceeds three months' rent – if the tenanted floor area is below 5,000 sq ft and the lease term is three years or less. Landlords also cannot terminate leases early citing redevelopment works, unless they meet certain conditions, such as giving tenants a notice period of at least six months. The code also sets out a dispute resolution process for both parties. According to MTI, the code gives landlords clarity on the terms in the lease agreements and makes the negotiation process easier. At the same time, it addresses the key concerns of tenants through the leasing principles. All government landlords and at least nine major private sector landlords, including CapitaLand Group and Frasers Property Singapore, have voluntarily adopted the code of conduct since June 2021.
