I attended the Beyond the Crane event organized by Deloitte on Thursday where Nellie Reid (Managing Director Meehan Green) was one of the panellists on the 2024-A Pivot Point for Real Estate panel. The conference started with Crane Survey Report with Kate English's excellent presentation. Cranes are not counted anymore as it was originated in the UK 26 years ago but it is used as a metaphor as it is a clear symbol on the skyline that activity is happening beneath. The survey report can be found here: https://lnkd.in/dmWnJzVt An interesting data came up in the panel that only 2% of the offices constructed since 2009 are BER A rated. Nellie pointed out that almost half of them are not performing as expected and one of the reasons is the occupant behaviour. Tenants tend to move to more efficient buildings at the end of their 20-year lease agreements. There is a challenge to re-use/upgrade existing office buildings because of the planning regulations such as ceiling heights. The new policy in the UK allows existing office buildings to be converted to residential units if it is vacant for min 3 months which would be good to consider for Ireland as well. The flexible floor plans would increase the viability of the buildings as we don’t know the end user. The Clonburris Project in Dublin is presented in the first panel of the conference which is an example of Public+Private+State collaboration to respond to housing demand. The key point on the panel was the importance of creating a community with residential projects on this scale. Anthea Ormiston, Declan Dunne, Gavin W. The panellists agreed that the S on the ESG is the most challenging one as we can't quantify it. John Vaudin, Suzie Nolan, Jane Dolan Fire Chat with Ivan Yates about European and Local Elections was very enlightening for me before voting. Many thanks to Deloitte for organizing this event and to all panellists for insightful inputs. John Doddy

Earlier today we attended Bidwells' Offices & Labs Databook Webinar 🙌   These webinars are always a great source of data about the lab and office markets in Cambridge, Oxford, Milton Keynes and Norwich.   We highly recommend reading the databook when it becomes available, but until then, here are some of the key takeaways: ➡️ Overall supply is still tight ➡️ Prime rents for offices and labs have accelerated ➡️ The lab market is primarily focused on Grade A spaces  ➡️ Science & technology are still dominating the activity across offices and labs ➡️ There is below-market trend activity in Cambridge and Oxford for offices; but above above-market trend for labs   Thank you to Saul Western, Sue Foxley, Malcolm White, Will Jones, Holly Dawson, Rob Beatson and Max Bryan for sharing such amazing insights.   #COELWorkSpaces #Cambridge #Oxford #MiltonKeynes #Norwich
