Cities in context
Our research looks at six cities across Europe – four major European capitals: London, Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris; and two cities with vibrant markets: Manchester and Glasgow. This has allowed us to compare and contrast residential requirements now and in the future in six markets. All are at different stages in the evolution of their rented residential offering, and so give us a broad overview of how European cities of different sizes are developing housing solutions in the face of major structural shifts.
We remain constructive on London as a global city in the long term and will continue to be active in its residential and logistics sectors. Both enjoy a favourable supply and demand imbalance, as well as high barriers to entry ... We also continue to focus on the world’s most economically powerful centres … They provide the best opportunity to invest in industrial, residential, office and the alternative sectors and provide strong, stable long-term returns.
