JLL tops industrial league table

JLL has been named as the UK’s top industrial agent of 2014. The national giant, which acquired industrial heavyweight King Sturge in 2011, disposed of 19m sq ft of shed space last year, bagging a 13% market share, according to EGi’s Industrial Research. But its lead is being eroded by CBRE and LSH, which grabbed 6m sq ft of extra space each in 2014 as JLL’s overall figure slipped. Overall the top 10 agents accounted for nearly 70% of the market, up from 60% in 2013. Take-up was dominated by small and large units with small or sub-20,000 sq ft market accounting for 50m sq ft of space, or a third of the market. Despite their size, mega-sheds or those larger than 500,000 sq ft made up just 7% of take-up. | Create infographics nadia.elghamry@estatesgazette.com
