Decline of the retail high
street as the polarisations
effect of retail drives
occupiers to super-prime
locations such as out of
town shopping centres and
super-prime high streets.
Large number of employees working
from home — could there be an
opportunity for a ‘hub’ style space in
the suburbs so that employees avoid
feeling isolated and lacking in social
interactions throughout their day?
Would occupiers partner on this?
Road-side service station —
surplus to requirements for a
primary oil drilling company.
Decommissioning and
remediation risks need
to be mitigated. Sale for
residential unlikely.
Wholesaler sales packages
being considered so that
producers can focus
on core business.
Do adjoining occupiers
have any complaints?
Chance for European style
click and collect groceries?
High street bank with
changing priorities — closing
local branches and expanding
in super prime locations
with flagship stores.
Short term sale and
leasebacks to provide
platform for exit. Look
into landlord commonality,
leasehold liability transfers,
strategy for securing prime
units and changing planning
to accommodate banking use.

Workplace strategy is
challenging due to inflexibility
of space, but a move would
be bad for staff retention.
Train journey time from airport to city centre

trains reducing sunk costs of travel time. Does an
international facing office really need to be next to
the airport? Re-priming trend suggests staff retention
would be better in the trendy city periphery...
Internet sales giant has
big box location which
is efficient but does it
suit the new trend for
click and collect?
Does the unit meet the
increasing demand for

to deal with reverse
