Property Development

The UK remains a key destination for international real estate investment with by far the highest infow of international capital of any European nation16 The vast majority of property development schemes are private sector led generating fnancial returns through new or improved residential commercial industrial hotel or leisure led development

The Northern Powerhousersquos strong economic and demographic growth is a key driver of real estate investment Foreign direct investment projects are increasing faster than the UK average17

whilst graduate retention rates encouraged by employment opportunities in science engineering and technology combined with a high quality of life are also higher than average18

The direct impacts are clear in terms of demand for new business with residential accommodation required across much of the North of England predicted to be 10300 new homes per annum up to 203519

Market liquidity and the breadth and depth of investment opportunities in the Northern Powerhouse make it attractive to investors with investment yields showing strong growth potential aided by transparent information on pricing and ownership

place quickly benefting from the UKrsquos robust but clear and fexible planning system combined with advice from the regionrsquos world class planning advisory and legal advisors Some areas that beneft from Assisted Area Status or Enterprise Zones have accelerated andor simplifed the planning processes

Property development lies at the heart of the Northern Powerhousersquos ambition to grow Whether it is building incubators for exciting hi-tech frms or providing Grade A offce space to service increasing demand20 in key locations international investors will fnd local government and developers with an appetite and determination to deliver

16UNITAD World Investment Report 2017

of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland

HS2 is a central part of the rail proposition for the North and an enabler to wider investment in the Northern Powerhouse economy23 already leading to increased investor activity around planned station hubs It will undoubtedly catalyse development opportunities in locations not directly on its route

of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland

HS2 is a central part of the rail proposition for the North and an enabler to wider investment in the Northern Powerhouse economy23 already leading to increased investor activity around planned station hubs It will undoubtedly catalyse development opportunities in locations not directly on its route

The UK remains a key destination for international real estate investment with by far the highest infow of international capital of any European nation16 The vast majority of property development schemes are private sector led generating fnancial returns through new or improved residential commercial industrial hotel or leisure led development

The Northern Powerhousersquos strong economic and demographic growth is a key driver of real estate investment Foreign direct investment projects are increasing faster than the UK average17

whilst graduate retention rates encouraged by employment opportunities in science engineering and technology combined with a high quality of life are also higher than average18

The direct impacts are clear in terms of demand for new business with residential accommodation required across much of the North of England predicted to be 10300 new homes per annum up to 203519

of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland

The UK remains a key destination for international real estate investment with by far the highest infow of international capital of any European nation16 The vast majority of property development schemes are private sector led generating fnancial returns through new or improved residential commercial industrial hotel or leisure led development

The Northern Powerhousersquos strong economic and demographic growth is a key driver of real estate investment Foreign direct investment projects are increasing faster than the UK average17

whilst graduate retention rates encouraged by employment opportunities in science engineering and technology combined with a high quality of life are also higher than average18

The direct impacts are clear in terms of demand for new business with residential accommodation required across much of the North of England predicted to be 10300 new homes per annum up to 203519

of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland

whilst graduate retention rates encouraged by employment opportunities in science engineering and technology combined with a high quality of life are also higher than average18

The direct impacts are clear in terms of demand for new business with residential accommodation required across much of the North of England predicted to be 10300 new homes per annum up to 203519

place quickly benefting from the UKrsquos robust but clear and fexible planning system combined with advice from the regionrsquos world class planning advisory and legal advisors Some areas that beneft from Assisted Area Status or Enterprise Zones have accelerated andor simplifed the planning processes

Property development lies at the heart of the Northern Powerhousersquos ambition to grow Whether it is building incubators for exciting hi-tech frms or providing Grade A offce space to service increasing demand20 in key locations international investors will fnd local government and developers with an appetite and determination to deliver

High Speed 2 Railway (HS2)

HS2 Phase One has now received Royal Assent providing the necessary permission to construct this phase of the line HS2 Ltdrsquos work to develop Phase One and Phase Two continues to demonstrate that the project will bring a range of benefts for the UK improving connectivity capacity and driving growth in the North

Connectivity will be improved to towns and cities in the North of England with new services and new infrastructure There will be new HS2 stations at Leeds Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly with classic-compatible services using the upgraded existing infrastructure to serve other destinations including Sheffeld York Darlington Durham Newcastle Crewe Liverpool Warrington Wigan Preston Lancaster Oxenholme Penrith and Carlisle

Following the completion of Phase One in 2026 journey times to the North West of England and North Wales will be reduced Following the completion of Phase 2a to Crewe in 2027 journey times to North West of England North Wales and Scotland will improve again With completion

16UNITAD World Investment Report 2017

of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland

HS2 is a central part of the rail proposition for the North and an enabler to wider investment in the Northern Powerhouse economy23 already leading to increased investor activity around planned station hubs It will undoubtedly catalyse development opportunities in locations not directly on its route

whilst graduate retention rates encouraged by employment opportunities in science engineering and technology combined with a high quality of life are also higher than average18

The direct impacts are clear in terms of demand for new business with residential accommodation required across much of the North of England predicted to be 10300 new homes per annum up to 203519

place quickly benefting from the UKrsquos robust but clear and fexible planning system combined with advice from the regionrsquos world class planning advisory and legal advisors Some areas that beneft from Assisted Area Status or Enterprise Zones have accelerated andor simplifed the planning processes

Property development lies at the heart of the Northern Powerhousersquos ambition to grow Whether it is building incubators for exciting hi-tech frms or providing Grade A offce space to service increasing demand20 in key locations international investors will fnd local government and developers with an appetite and determination to deliver

High Speed 2 Railway (HS2)

HS2 Phase One has now received Royal Assent providing the necessary permission to construct this phase of the line HS2 Ltdrsquos work to develop Phase One and Phase Two continues to demonstrate that the project will bring a range of benefts for the UK improving connectivity capacity and driving growth in the North

Connectivity will be improved to towns and cities in the North of England with new services and new infrastructure There will be new HS2 stations at Leeds Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly with classic-compatible services using the upgraded existing infrastructure to serve other destinations including Sheffeld York Darlington Durham Newcastle Crewe Liverpool Warrington Wigan Preston Lancaster Oxenholme Penrith and Carlisle

Following the completion of Phase One in 2026 journey times to the North West of England and North Wales will be reduced Following the completion of Phase 2a to Crewe in 2027 journey times to North West of England North Wales and Scotland will improve again With completion

16UNITAD World Investment Report 2017

of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland

HS2 is a central part of the rail proposition for the North and an enabler to wider investment in the Northern Powerhouse economy23 already leading to increased investor activity around planned station hubs It will undoubtedly catalyse development opportunities in locations not directly on its route

whilst graduate retention rates encouraged by employment opportunities in science engineering and technology combined with a high quality of life are also higher than average18

The direct impacts are clear in terms of demand for new business with residential accommodation required across much of the North of England predicted to be 10300 new homes per annum up to 203519

of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland

HS2 is a central part of the rail proposition for the North and an enabler to wider investment in the Northern Powerhouse economy23 already leading to increased investor activity around planned station hubs It will undoubtedly catalyse development opportunities in locations not directly on its route

Property and Infrastructure The Northern Powerhouse is an established thriving and growing economic area with ambitions to do more and grow more backed by the private and public sectors Signifcant government investment is set to beneft the North of England clearly signalling the continued commitment to growing the economy Improved infrastructure closely aligned to strategic development of new homes and communities will increase market accessibility and connectivity bring development sites to market create higher-value land uses help form a range of new and improved employment opportunities and grow larger and more cohesive labour markets

Property Development

The UK remains a key destination for international real estate investment with by far the highest infow of international capital of any European nation16 The vast majority of property development schemes are private sector led generating fnancial returns through new or improved residential commercial industrial hotel or leisure led development

The Northern Powerhousersquos strong economic and demographic growth is a key driver of real estate investment Foreign direct investment projects are increasing faster than the UK average17

whilst graduate retention rates encouraged by employment opportunities in science engineering and technology combined with a high quality of life are also higher than average18

The direct impacts are clear in terms of demand for new business with residential accommodation required across much of the North of England predicted to be 10300 new homes per annum up to 203519

Market liquidity and the breadth and depth of investment opportunities in the Northern Powerhouse make it attractive to investors with investment yields showing strong growth potential aided by transparent information on pricing and ownership

Once an investment opportunity is identifed in the Northern Powerhouse delivery can take

place quickly benefting from the UKrsquos robust but clear and fexible planning system combined with advice from the regionrsquos world class planning advisory and legal advisors Some areas that beneft from Assisted Area Status or Enterprise Zones have accelerated andor simplifed the planning processes

Property development lies at the heart of the Northern Powerhousersquos ambition to grow Whether it is building incubators for exciting hi-tech frms or providing Grade A offce space to service increasing demand20 in key locations international investors will fnd local government and developers with an appetite and determination to deliver

Infrastructure

Multi-modal transport planning and delivery is seen as key to creating vital economic growth in the Northern Powerhouse Transport for The North (a publicprivate body) published in early 2018 the lsquoStrategic Transport Planrsquo for public consultation which sets out an investment strategy for the North of England through to 2050 which predicts that if successful it will generate an additional 850000 jobs and a pound100 billion economic beneft for the region21

This ambitious plan builds on the foundation of existing investment commitments already underway creating the environment for business to fourish and offer new investment opportunities This includes transformational investment in the Northrsquos new rail franchises Northern and Trans Pennine Express to provide more frequent and shorter journeys new rolling stock for the London Midland Virgin West Coast and Virgin East Coast franchises for North-South services and The Great North Rail Project offering connectivity benefts journey time improvements capacity enhancements and reliability improvements

This connectivity will underpin the continued growth and development of the Northrsquos key sector and infrastructure industries in Advanced Manufacturing Health Innovation Digital and Energy22

High Speed 2 Railway (HS2)

HS2 Phase One has now received Royal Assent providing the necessary permission to construct this phase of the line HS2 Ltdrsquos work to develop Phase One and Phase Two continues to demonstrate that the project will bring a range of benefts for the UK improving connectivity capacity and driving growth in the North

Connectivity will be improved to towns and cities in the North of England with new services and new infrastructure There will be new HS2 stations at Leeds Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly with classic-compatible services using the upgraded existing infrastructure to serve other destinations including Sheffeld York Darlington Durham Newcastle Crewe Liverpool Warrington Wigan Preston Lancaster Oxenholme Penrith and Carlisle

Following the completion of Phase One in 2026 journey times to the North West of England and North Wales will be reduced Following the completion of Phase 2a to Crewe in 2027 journey times to North West of England North Wales and Scotland will improve again With completion

16UNITAD World Investment Report 2017

of the full Phase Two route in 2033 journey times between London and the North East and North West of England will be signifcantly improved with better connections from the North to the Midlands and to Scotland

HS2 is a central part of the rail proposition for the North and an enabler to wider investment in the Northern Powerhouse economy23 already leading to increased investor activity around planned station hubs It will undoubtedly catalyse development opportunities in locations not directly on its route

bull c144000 m2 of prime B1 B2 and B8 industrial space

bull 60 Bed business hotel
