Episode Two - XXL Warehouses

Mickey Scott / Jan van den Hogen Season 1 Episode 2

This second episode of the season sees Jan van den Hogen take on the role of the interviewee. Mickey Scott (MRICS), Associate at Hines UK hosts this episode and brings us important topics affecting the logistics and industrial real estate professionals across Europe. XXL logistics centers/big box warehouses are front and center, as the demand for more space continues to increase but local leadership as well as the population increasingly wary of these enormous structures being build in their own backyard. This mismatch in priorities between global trade and local stakeholders will continue the be central to the dialog about the evolution of this important segment of commercial real estate. Other themes include how and where to develop in an environment with scarce available land, the continued strong demand for industrial space as well as again and always various aspects of ESG.
