24.8.22

The Cambridge industrial market saw record levels of take up during H1. A lack of available floorspace remains a constraint across the market driving robust rental growth expectations.

Lack of floor space, with availability remaining below 2%

A notable lack of available space is posing a significant challenge for occupiers in Cambridge, currently dominated by retailers and a growing life sciences and technology sector.

Persistent take up and dwindling supply have supported rental growth, increasing 5.9% per annum since 2016.
