This presentation covers the findings from our survey, undertaken in collaboration with CoreNet Global. We explore which trends and challenges will be the main drivers of real estate demand over the next 3-5 years and how they will impact specific floorspace requirements.
2. Key observations
1
Continuity of trends and challenges
Continued strong pressure on companies to align real estate
portfolios = continued high levels of occupational demand =
significant opportunities for landlords, developers and investors.
An intriguing paradox
Slow on-take of many trends and challenges experts sustain will
have a significant impact on businesses in the future = supply
chain alignment not future-proof?

Q. Is current network realignment
in manufacturing and logistics
adequate to sustain companies
competitiveness over
at least the next five
years?
7. 6
1
Today’s supply chain alignment will sustain operational needs for at
least the next 5 years as current major trends and challenges will
remain the main driving force.
2
There is some risk that a number of trends and challenges could
become more significant than currently expected – but this will not
impact significantly on network alignment over the next 5 years.
There is a significant risk that businesses are missing important
trends and challenges. Today’s network alignment is not adequate
to remain fully competitive over the next 5 years.

But what markets will
actually be successful
in attracting future real
estate demand?
15. High emphasis on cost reduction and customer satisfaction will
favour locations with excellent connectivity …

‘portcentric’ logistics.

Q. Do you agree that emphasis on
multi-modality, rail freight and
port-centric logistics will
increase going forward -
favouring rising occupational
demand across locations
providing these attributes?
18. 17
1 Yes, all three will see occupational demand taking-off
significantly over the next few years.
2 Yes, at least one out of the three locations will see rising
occupational demand over the next few years.
No, none of these locations will gain significant increases
in occupational demand over the next few years.

Q.
Which of the three locations

the highest occupational
demand?

the integration of
sustainability
measures to logistics
and industrial real
