Occupiers blow reveille

Article Abstract:

The UK property industry must make more effort to respond to occupiers' requirements for new office space. It is important to be aware that occupiers are seeking flexibility of space and that they want buildings quickly. Landlords can no longer afford to be complacent, and must recognize that occupiers do not wish to be committed to a set space configuration for many years. Some occupiers are adopting new working practices, such as hot-desking, while others are becoming more interested in the appearance of the buildings they occupy.

Two's company, three's a crowd?

Article Abstract:

Top quality office space in Manchester, England is not occupied despite the fact that several businesses are interested in it. Three new buildings are available at rents of 215 pounds sterling per square meter, but businesses such as Royal Insurance are waiting until others have reduced the price by negotiation. Secondhand buildings are in abundant supply, but will not suit many business requirements for quality office space.
