What is the current state of the London office market and how will the next six months pan out? Knight Frank's Head of London Research Shabab Qadar joins host Anna Ward to discuss market activity and what is coming next for development activity and investment in the capital's office sector. They discuss how a future supply crunch could impact the market, where the new emerging office districts will be, to what extent repurposing will feature in the market and how much stock will shift to other uses.

In this episode of 'Intelligence Talks,' host Anna Ward discusses the potential implications of Labour and Conservative election pledges on the commercial real estate market with Will Matthews, Shabab Qadar, and Stephen Springham from Knight Frank's research team. They examine current market conditions, and key manifesto proposals on finance, investment, tax, business rates, and planning laws. What will be the impact of these policies on key UK commercial real estate sectors from offices to retail? And how will investment volumes turn out by the end of 2024 compared to last year? All that, plus hear how each expert would invest a hypothetical sum of £50 million in UK commercial real estate. This is the first of two special episodes on the UK election. We will be back next month with part two after the election and you will hear from experts in our UK residential research team. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Is London tapped out or are there still great development opportunities in the capital? This week Anna Ward is joined by James Barton and Nick Alderman from Knight Frank's development land team. In this episode, they explore where the new residential development opportunities might be, from Battersea to Hackney Wick. They also discuss who will be building these projects, the return of developers to the land market, as well as the withdrawal of housing associations, as well as the latest findings from Knight Frank's poll of 50 volume and SME housebuilders. And the key challenges to building these developments: land scarcity, outdated council registers, and high build and finance costs. Plus, they look at whether there is a need for some flexibility in affordable housing criteria. Don't miss this informative discussion on the opportunities and challenges shaping London's residential development scene.

Two articles in the March-April 2024 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology present research on glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), a class of medications that has drawn considerable media attention in recent months for their ability to promote significant weight loss. The articles in JCP consider their use in specific populations of patients: individuals with bipolar disorder or eating disorders (in this case, atypical anorexia nervosa). This podcast features a discussion of the articles by authors Susan L. McElroy, MD; Anna Ward, ARPN; and Dr. Anna Guerdjikova, PhD, LISW, from the Lindner Center of HOPE in Mason, OH, and the University of Cincinnati. The first article, Liraglutide in Obese or Overweight Individuals With Stable Bipolar Disorder, reports on a placebo-controlled double-blind trial, which showed that compared with placebo, liraglutide was associated with greater reductions in percent change in body weight, and reductions in weight, body mass index, binge eating and hunger. Obesity is common among individuals with bipolar disorder, possibly contributing to their well-documented higher risk of cardiovascular-related mortality. The second article is titled Semaglutide Misuse in Atypical Anorexia Nervosa – A Case Report. The report presents the case of a patient with a history of an eating disorder who intentionally misused the GLP-1 semaglutide and lost more than 40 pounds in 9 months. The case report is designed to alert clinicians of the importance of reviewing patients' medical and psychiatric histories, being attuned to patient histories of weight fluctuations, and screening for eating dysregulation when prescribing weight-loss approved medications.

In our first episode of 2024, we talk about Britain's laboratory shortage, with start-ups actively searching for lab space amid a dearth of supply. Anna Ward is joined by Knight Frank partner and life sciences specialist Jennifer Townsend to discuss the growth of the UK's £90bn health and life sciences sector. In London alone, the city is struggling to provide biotech and life sciences entrepreneurs with the research space they need. Knight Frank data shows that demand for lab space in the capital stands at 793,000 sq ft, while availability is just 179,295 sq ft – less than a quarter of current requirements. UK-wide, life sciences firms raised £3.3bn in venture capital financing last year, ranking as the third-highest amount over the past ten years. On a year-over-year basis, funding to the sector declined 7% compared to 2022. However, life sciences performed better than the broader UK venture capital landscape, which saw investment drop to £16.1 billion in 2023 - a 44% decrease compared with 2022.Anna also speaks to Deirdre O'Reilly, senior research analyst at Knight Frank, to find out more about the rise in film and TV production spend in the UK and how this is fuelling an increase in film studio take up. If production spending reaches £8.7 billion by 2028, Knight Frank has estimated an additional 2.6 million sq ft of additional studio space will be needed. Deirdre also pinpoints two other key industrial sectors to watch in 2024… You can read the 2023 Knight Frank UK Film and Television Studios report here. Hosted on Acast.

Elle est artiste de cirque, créatrice, enseignante et éternelle étudiante. Sa bonne humeur, ses nombreuses anecdotes porteuses de sens et sa rareté ont fait de cette entrevue un moment très spécial. C'est le 19 août que nous nous sommes retrouvées, un petit samedi automnal et pluvieux, où nous avons trouvé refuge au restaurant Les enfants terribles à Outremont. C'était vivant, voire bruyant, mais quelque part, ça marche avec la force douce et l'énergie vive de mon invitée. Je m'appelle Alice, et pour ce nouveau portait de cirque, je vous propose Anna Ward.
Where does it make sense to refurbish offices to higher environmental standards and to what extent will obsolete offices see a change of use to residential? Across London, approximately 140m sq ft of office space has an EPC rating below grade C, a recent Knight Frank study showed, a figure which represents 51% of total office floorspace. Under current government proposals, commercial properties must have an EPC rating of C or higher by 1 April 2027. In this podcast, Anna Ward is joined by two Knight Frank experts focused on this very issue – our head of London research Shabab Qadar, and our head of planning, Stuart Baillie. Hosted on Acast.

This week, Anna Ward is joined by Oliver Novakovic, technical and innovation director at UK housebuilder, Barratt Developments, and Andrew Shirley, editor of our Wealth Report magazine and head of rural research. Oliver is working on Barratt's zero-carbon concept home, the Z House in Salford, Manchester. He explains how the current inflationary environment is impacting the project, discusses what Barratt has learned from trialling 50 new technologies within the home, and indicates a likely timeline for the UK housebuilder to scale up the technology across new homes nationwide.You can read more about the Z House in our interview with Oliver in The Wealth Report.We also talk about the current challenges facing British farms following surges in grain prices, fuel and energy costs. Andrew suggests farmers need to look to the past and follow less energy-intensive practices and that indoor farming can help supply certain higher value foods like salad products and fruits locally, rather than flying them in.This is an area we explore in depth in this interview with Benjamin Swan, founder of Sustenir, a Singapore-based pioneer of urban, vertical farming in the Wealth Report.

This week, Anna Ward is joined by urban planning and retail specialists to discuss how the UK can revive its towns and what successful urban centres will look like in the future. Ben Bolgar, Senior Design Director for The Prince's Foundation for Building Community, and Cameron McDonald, senior geospatial analyst at Knight Frank, kick things off by looking at the importance of creating towns with walkable access to amenities and ending car-dependency. Six months on from the publication of The Prince's Foundation report into sustainable development and walkability, they discuss how the findings are even more relevant now as the UK population has only just emerged out of a third lockdown and remains focused on their local neighbourhoods. They also look at how UK towns could achieve real lasting change using geospatial tech and whether the current business model for new settlements is broken. Finally, Anna speaks to Bill Grimsey, author of the Grimsey Review on how to revive UK high streets and former CEO of Iceland. Looking back at his decades of experience in retail, he shares his view on what a successful future town might look like and how the UK could ‘undo' the clone towns he says his generation of retailer built to create car-less towns full of experiences, open spaces, commerce and shops that are more likely to be independent shops supporting the local brand, and better in-town living for the ageing population.

This week, the UK has been preparing for the first significant easing of the third national lockdown. After over three months for some parts of the UK, pub gardens and hairdressers will be reopening on Monday. As cities prepare to reopen, how are UK residential markets changing and what's coming next? Is a ‘normal' property market still some way off? UK head of research Tom Bill and senior research analyst Chris Druce join host Anna Ward for this week's episode. They discuss how they think the market will evolve over the next few months, what's driving activity currently and what some of the challenges will be later in the year. They also look at what's happening in Tel Aviv, whether the flight to the country is slowing yet, the significance of London's recent sharp drop in population and the impact of ongoing international travel restrictions.Intelligence Talks is a podcast from the Research Team at Knight Frank.

In this episode, Anna Ward, senior research analyst, talks to head of international residential research Kate Everett Allen and Lee Elliott, global head of occupier research, about the future of the office and residential across the world. The absence of the office and the return to work was notable in Boris Johnson's road map announcement. Since then, there have been divergent views about getting employees back into the workplace. In the UK this week, Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey said he expected a more flexible hybrid model will permanently prevail. Magic circle law firm Freshfields have said its lawyers will be able work from home for up to 50% of the time in London and Manchester, but stressed this would be an interim approach, while Goldman Sachs has told its global workforce that they'll back in the office full-time by the end of the summer. So what does the global picture look like? And will London's suburbs and commuter towns continue to benefit from housing more office workers?

I've had a few messages since this series started from those of you who physically aren't able to access your business at present. Be it that you own a salon or a restaurant or a spa that's been forced to close, sometimes it really isn't as simple as, 'just focus on your digital offering' when your company's existence relies solely on engaging with the public face-to-face.With that in mind, given that I've watched in awe on social media at how today's guest has handled the past few weeks, I spoke to a Founder who can wholeheartedly relate. As the Co-Founder of Cake Drop - the company that delivers the yummiest cakes from London's best independent bakeries direct to London offices in zone 1 and 2 - Anna Ward has had to have some seriously tough conversations in recent weeks given that her business up until early March, thrived on office culture.With no choice but to re-evaluate Cake Drop's entire business model since the UK went into lockdown, this is an insight into how the past few weeks have played out for Anna and her sister behind the scenes and the temporary measures that they've introduced to ensure that there's a business still standing in months to come...I won't be forgetting this story anytime soon and I hope you find it to be of comfort in some way too.The good old social handles should you fancy a further peek!She can.
