11 INDUSTRIAL MARKET COMMENTARY INDUSTRIAL MARKET COMMENTARY The distribution market in the North West is experiencing significant demand for good distribution buildings. Take up within this sector was extremely strong during 2014, which stood at over 4.5m sq ft for buildings over 100,000 sq ft throughout the region. Take-up for H was at approximately 3m sq ft, a significant rise on H D&B transactions in the region have been recently signed including The Hut (670,000 sq ft) at Omega, Travis Perkins (630,000 sq ft) at Omega, Asda (600,000 sq ft) at Omega, MBDA (100,000 sq ft) at Bolton, Aldi (440,000 sq ft) at Bolton, B&M Bargains (500,000 sq ft) at Speke and Johnson Controls (150,000 sq ft) at Speke. Most recently Poundland (350,000 sq ft), Nicepak (395,000 sq ft) at Wigan, Exertis (543,000 sq ft) at Burnley and Dunelm (525,000 sq ft) at Stoke. Existing stock for buildings over 100,000 sq ft has fallen to only 5m sq ft. The strength of the North West distribution market has resulted in a return to confidence in speculative development with a number of buildings of between 95,000 sq ft to 400,000 sq ft planned and on site. Quoting rentals are between 5.50 per sq ft and 6.25 per sq ft. This area of the region has benefited hugely from the growth and continued success of the major car plants in the area being Jaguar Land Rover at Speke where the popular Evoque is built and Vauxhall Motors where the Astra is built. This has led to a massive boost in automotive supply chain which is set to continue with the investment into the plant at Speke and the soon to be launched Electric Car at Vauxhall. Major infrastructure works in the region will support the growth in the distribution sector over the forthcoming decade including the Liverpool 2 Container Port which will double the handling capacity at the Port and also permit direct entry to larger vessels from Asia into Liverpool, rather than the redistribution of goods onto smaller vessels at Rotterdam. The new Mersey Gateway Bridge is also due to be completed in 2017 which will provide faster links to the region including linking the M56 and M62 with south Liverpool.
