13 INVESTMENT MARKET The Greater London industrial investment market has shown its continued resilience in light of the EU Referendum vote with strong demand from a number of investors. The draw of London and the increasing tenant demand from e-commerce in last mile locations, with associated rental growth, are proving key drivers for continued investor appetite. Furthermore, many industrial sites are being converted to higher value alternative uses which is further increasing the supply and demand imbalance. This is providing a platform for the trend of rental growth to continue in years to come, which ensures the investment case for Greater London industrial remains highly attractive for investors.
