Why You Can't Miss This Industrial and Logistics Event
UK industrial and logistics real estate is moving fast in 2026 — and the stakes for getting your strategy right have never been higher. Demand for big-box logistics space is on track to exceed 25.5 million square feet this year, the highest on record outside the Covid peak years, while speculative supply remains critically constrained. Deals are happening at pace: Panattoni just broke ground on a 500,000 sq ft scheme at Wakefield Europort to fill a Yorkshire supply gap, Amazon took the largest Grade A logistics letting in the South East, and ICG acquired a £200.5 million five-asset UK industrial portfolio — all within weeks of each other. At the same time, the pressure to deliver net zero construction, EPC A+ ratings, and BREEAM Outstanding is no longer a differentiator — it's the baseline occupiers and lenders expect. Whether you're deploying capital, developing schemes, or managing assets, the decisions you make this year will determine returns for the next decade.
What You’ll Learn
Where capital is flowing across UK industrial and logistics in 2026 — which asset types, geographies, and ownership structures are attracting the most attention, and what that means for developers and operators competing for the same sites and tenants
What's setting price in 2026 — how location, lease structure, building specification, and ESG transition plans are being weighed differently by occupiers, developers, and investors, and where those priorities converge or clash on the ground
How lenders are underwriting logistics in 2026 — what developers and asset managers need to know about covenant structures, capex requirements for EPC upgrades, and how financing terms are shaping what gets built and how assets get repositioned
How the best schemes are getting to market faster — what operators, developers, and project managers are doing differently on procurement, cost control, utilities planning, and contractor engagement to reduce programme risk and protect delivery timelines
How to protect income and keep assets lettable over the long term — what stronger operational management, proactive energy strategy, green lease structures, and compliance planning look like in practice, and why these conversations are now happening earlier between owners, developers, and occupiers
How You’ll Do More Business: Identify where capital is actively deploying in 2026 and what it will pay for, so you can target the right assets and the right buyers. Pressure test your scheme assumptions with developers and lenders to reduce programme and utilities risk before you go to market. Leave with practical angles to originate opportunities, tighten your underwriting, and build a clearer value story for occupiers and investors.
