Highlights
Out-of-town is now turning the corner, benefitting from the fact that it offers lower rents and better synergies with online than town centres. Nevertheless, the return to growth will be limited by low consumer confidence and income and the historically low level of transactions occurring in the housing market.
Over the next few years space expansion will pick up again. Growth will be led by a wave of private equity backed retailers, keen to earn a return on investments. Secondary high streets will have disappeared from retail usage and there will be a lack of development of prime new shopping centres, so quality out of town space will be in high demand.
More emphasis is being placed on service and store environments. With out of town retail becoming more competitive, retailers are being forced to offer more than competitive prices.
