Branson on South Coast Central - April 2014

Perhaps it is best described as a more normal situation in the region’s commercial property market as it returns to growth having weathered the recession well.

That is because the driving forces of the area are varied but revolve around new industries and technology as well as leisure activities, such as ships and cruises. Clearly in an area which draws in retirees, the shape of the economy will be different.

The property market reflects this with a strong industrial sector based around logistics and distribution and the office market dominated by the professions and leisure, notably the cruise business which is growing steadily. Then there is the thriving container business at Southampton.

Prospects for balanced growth have been helped by the co-operation of Portsmouth and Southampton and their plans for new developments which will play to the strengths of both cities.

Bournemouth has also picked up speed and underlined its attractions for substantial office occupiers. Here again regeneration is proceeding as confidence grows. That is the point for the South Coast, confidence is growing and will bring stronger markets once developers face up to a speedier approach to building new stock.

It is no longer enough to let commercial buildings slip away into student accommodation and housing without building new offices and sheds. Those are needed now and the shortage throws a strangling collar around the growth of the UK economy.
