CO—RE

At the UK Hub at MIPIM, CO—RE CEO, Bradley Baker, joined the Estates Gazette’s panel on “Capital, cities and connectivity: unlocking the UK's investment map”, to explore what’s driving the market and what the future might hold for UK real estate.

Key takeaways from the discussion included:

Supply of Grade A office space has hit a critical low point, with vacancy rates widely forecast to hit 0% in 2027 and crucially remain at 0% throughout 2028 which will result in significant jumps in rental levels as companies compete for the best space.

Office quality continues to be a critical differentiator in sectors competing for top-tier professionals, making exceptional design, premium amenities and well‑connected locations vital.

Occupiers are making their offices work harder, using them to reflect and promote their brand and values, as well as to support them in the ongoing war for talent. Tenants are also demonstrating that they are willing to pay premium rents to secure space that helps them achieve these objectives.

Thank you to all the fellow panellists and Estates Gazette.
