The retail warehousing sector has shown its resilience to the changing retail landscape, with strong market performance and increased interest from a wide range of investors. As a result, there has been a high level of activity in recent months, something we expect to continue throughout the remainder of 2022 and beyond. Bringing this group of high calibre individuals together, who have cemented fantastic relationships with both investors and occupiers, is what our clients expect from us at CBRE. We are extremely excited about what the future holds for the retail sector and what these individuals can add to both the business and our clients.
