Data in the following pages is based on industrial buildings > 5,000sqm

Secondary: Buildings generally older than 10 years old but still functional with internal clearances up to 12.6m at the ridge. Buildings typically don’t have high sustainability ratings and may have limitations with warehouse access (no. docks/ on grade doors) and restricted heavy vehicle maneuverability on site.

There have been noticeable increases in outgoings this quarter with Insurance costs growing the fastest and are expected to continue increasing due to climate risk and construction costs. Statutory outgoings are still trending upwards due to general cost of living inflation and government revenue pressures going into 2026.
• Repairs and maintenance responsibilities and negotiations

Occupiers continue to right-size portfolios, focusing on operational efficiency rather than downsizing. Demand is shifting toward modern, automation-ready facilities near urban hubs, with right-sizing driven by optimisation and efficiency rather than cost alone. Working capital and slowing leasing decisions are creating additional friction for relocations and rightsizing initiatives.

Landlords are increasingly requiring bank guarantees of 6-12 months gross rent, driven by heightened tenant credit risk, lender expectations, and rising costs associated with pressure on occupiers. Working capital and slowing leasing decisions are creating additional friction for relocations and right-sizing initiatives.
Looking ahead to Q2 2026, continued pressure from rising outgoings, larger bank guarantee requirements, and ongoing right-sizing initiatives are expected to slow occupier decision-making.

All below figures are based on a generic 13.7m high warehouse shell including high level services

Given the volatility in oil price driven by the Middle-Eastern disruptions, we are witnessing an increase in construction pricing in the immediate term of 3-5%. The expectation is that this is temporary however timing is uncertain.
Pricing volatility is driven by:
• Fuel levies added to delivery of materials
• Sharp increase in oil-derived products
• Material shortages
*All figures based on past build rates, not a reliable estimate of future costs. Please speak to our Development Team for more accurate cost indications tailored to your requirements.
