I am excited to introduce the tenth
edition of dTZ’s
In Situ
, in which we explore
current issues and key trends in the global
occupier market. I am especially proud to
present such a stimulating line-up of fresh
insights and analyses from our thought
leaders —
In Situ’s
contributors reflect the
collective strength of dTZ’s integrated,
full-service operational and business
teams as we continue to grow globally.
In this edition of
In Situ
, rob cookson
and Karine Woodford discuss the global
trends in the Technology, media and
Telecommunications (TmT) sector,
following a webcast and research report
produced by dTZ last year. Luis Keats
and Shaun Brodie explore the impending
supply wave in china, and Geoff Kruger
and Liam nicholls highlight the challenges
and opportunities in Africa.
our focus on Singapore, Spain and
France, identifies the real estate pitfalls
to be avoided there — a useful guide
for occupiers looking to enter those
markets. Alex mountford gives a tenant’s
perspective on the uK high street, which
has been impacted greatly by the economy
over the last few years. We also take a look
at global occupier trends on the rise and
fall, providing an indication of what the
current priorities are for occupiers.
Paul Brown covers the importance of
sustainability, highlighting a number
of initiatives that can help to increase
efficiency and save on costs, whilst
Paul Vernham explains the importance
of accounting for real estate. James
maddock and Alastair Lindsay identify the
common pitfalls of the classic corporate
real estate outsourcing model and discuss
the importance of collaboration in any
successful real estate partnership.
The uK is known as having the highest
property tax rates in the world — Simon
Griffin, richard Williamson and ryan Yapp
provide a uK perspective on local tax and
cost saving initiatives, learnings which
could be transferred to other countries
with significant local tax rates.
dTZ research’s global occupancy costs
and forecasts for the offices market can
be found on pages 28-29.
