Occupier Demand Analysis
Investors are drawn to science and technology, but the sector is about more than simply life sciences and AI. We break things down and explain how the nuances between sub-sectors impact your investment.
Developing a Cambridge life science cluster to advance research and discovery.
Our detailed demand analysis unpicks the drivers of locational requirements for R&D, tracking how fastest-growing university spin outs and large corporates are shaping our local clusters.
We will help you build a picture of the type of international occupiers you should be targeting with your next investment and future proof your asset by setting out the direction of our local hi-tech economies.
Investing in world-renowned Cambridge and Oxford, or newer ecosystems such as Milton Keynes or others within the Arc, means first understanding what drives research-led businesses in those locations and how the world’s biggest brands are clustering around the leading scientific research programmes.
Our in-house research breaks down occupier demand in each cluster in these science/tech-led locations, helping investors understand the differences in the occupier base and explaining why tech firms choose one location over another. It’s not one size fits all.
Our research looks at the office, industrial and laboratory markets in forensic detail, so you can press the button on your next science and technology asset with the future in mind.
