Thames Valley Property Report: Jan-Jun 2021

The first six months of 2021 saw businesses across the Thames Valley begin to rethink their future workplace strategy for a post-pandemic world.
July 28, 2021

2020 has been a year characterised by a lack of certainty as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded around us.

Of course, there is an acceptance the events of the last year will inevitably change how we work forever, but with that comes a sense of optimism.

We have witnessed first-hand how the agile business has adapted to the new norm, not only to survive, but to do their upmost to thrive.

Employees are re-evaluating their working patterns and their priorities and business leaders are reacting to this in a way that will change building design, locations and leasing structures.

Now, almost a year on from the start of the pandemic, we have a better understanding about what we are all dealing with, which together with the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine, means we are starting to more confidence in the property market.

To help inform your strategic property decisions as you look ahead to 2021, and beyond, we explore the emerging trends that we are seeing across the Thames Valley office and industrial / logistics markets, with what to expect and how to plan ahead –  whether you are a landlord / investor, developer or occupier.
