Cranking up the cranes

Article Abstract:

The city of Leeds, England, saw only 19,131 sq mt of modern office space taken up in 1995. However, a number of new office developments are now being undertaken, even though there is already 22,009 sq mt of completed new space on the market. It is widely stated that there is a lack of supply of new space, but potential occupiers are not confident enough to actually agree a deal. Furthermore, all the existing new space is in fringe locations.
