Cushman & Wakefield's Annual London Markets Conference 2013
Occupier dynamics are shifting, the demand from new sectors, such as Media & Technology is outpacing demand from London’s traditionally dominant Financial sector. How will London’s commercial real estate industry adapt? What can developers and landlords do to stay ahead of the competition?
As global economic uncertainty continues, London remains a safe haven for investors as equity continues to pour in from overseas. Will this trend continue and will the new investment hotspots bring real returns to investors?

EXPLAINING THE PARADOX
• Recession not as severe as recorded? • Possibly financial sector effects
• Cash rich corporates hoarding labour • Earnings growth low – making labour ‘cheaper’
• Greater part time working / temporary contracts • Low interest rates have made money cheaper
• Increased self employment levels (though not for all)

22. KEY DRIVERS OF SUCCESS
• World trade remains crucial – outlook strong, but not without risks
• Skills and attractiveness – remaining a draw for people (not just the ‘suits’)
• More capacity coming on-stream will be critical as will improved access and travel times
• Dynamism is key – changing what the economy does. People key to this – but regulation /
planning all play a part
• Image and reputation – still matters and remains strong
• Security – of place / technology / legal protection
LONDON MARKETS CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD 21
23. KEY RISKS
• Competition from new global centres
• Connectivity, esp. to new markets (air access)
• Rising cost base creating social disharmony and diverting inward investment of people
and capital
• Out-workings of the global financial crisis may yet take a larger toll
• Regulation and uncertainty over European relationship
• Olympic legacy – ensuring the story continues and does not become a story of missed
opportunity (no sign as yet of this)
LONDON MARKETS CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD 22
24. SUMMARY
• The London economy has proven itself time and time again as being dynamic, decisive
and successful
• It continues to do so with the labour market back above pre recession peaks and
new specialisms and sectors emerging
• Key to success are the organisations and, crucially, the people
• Its draw as a global city to visit, work in, trade with, have a base in remains strong
• But it is not infallible – complacency is a risk. Policy and legal environment must remain
supportive of dynamism. Access and congestion remain important factors and cognisance
of competition important to trumpet London's’ key strengths and identify comparative
(and potential) weaknesses
