Article Abstract:

The property development market of the Isle of Man, UK, is being concentrated on office and retail growth in 1998, after a steady decline in the hotel sector. Most of the growth is focused in the main town of Douglas, which has a high proportion of offshore financial companies and blue chip firms. Office rents can range from 170 pounds sterling per square metre for older properties to 204 pounds sterling per square metre for new office buildings.

Article Abstract:

UK brewery and leisure conglomerate, Whitbread PLC, has changed enormously from the brewery business of 1974 to a wide-ranging leisure facilities operator in 1996, says Whitbread Property managing director, Hugh Siegle. Siegle, who managed the opening of the group's TGI Friday chain of restaurants, believes that UK leisure sector employees are more suited to the industry than they were when he began his career over twenty years ago.

Portman Estate's use of technology is still lagging behind others in the property sector. Their digital strategy is limited to a handful of sites to market properties for rent and an interface/marketing forum to Residents on the Estate in London. However this interface to clients and residents is limited to selective tenants only and excludes those whose leases or tenancies are based on terms less commercially beneficial to the Portman Estate. Gererally the use of technology by the Portman Estate is limited and self-serving and fails to incorporate a wider embrace of communications solutions and social networking. It is still a case of move slowly and carefully for this organisation - little real change from the pre digital communication days.
