Why London is still calling
When the UK first entered lockdown in March 2020, the impact was nowhere more stark than in London.
Pandora Papers and the cracks
What’s that I spy? A bear heading into the woods clutching a toilet roll? Sorry, say that again. The Pope is… is Catholic?
All bets are on
It’s fairly normal to have a healthy dose of cynicism as a journalist – especially after a year and a half of worrying about Covid – but it feels good to be upbeat about life for a change. My lockdown hobbies have all but disappeared and in-person meetings are par ...
Another winter of discontent
Questions, questions, questions. This week, I chaired a Climate Crisis Challenge Spotlight Event, in collaboration with UKGBC, asking a big one: “How do we turn followship into leadership ahead of COP26?”.
The end is in sight
Say it quietly: the pandemic is almost over. Vaccination rates are up, people are hugging again and workers are returning to their offices.
Back to Earth… and the office
Aargh. Just when I thought we’d finally got a secretary of state for housing who vaguely understood the brief…
The changing face of the logistics market
It’s no secret that the industrial and logistics sector is booming. Take-up in the first half of the year continued to soar and investment activity also sky-rocketed to a new record high of £6bn, according to data from Knight Frank. That’s 54% more than the previous high recorded in H1 ...
Looking back at 9/11
It doesn’t matter how many times I see footage of the planes striking the Twin Towers, the sight never fails to shock. It is the unsteady angle of attack, terrifying speed and devastating impact, especially of the second plane as it scythes through the South Tower.
A RESI you can’t afford to miss
The government’s announcement this week of a new £8.6bn funding package to make home ownership a more “realistic and affordable” aspiration for tens of thousands of families is a welcome one. But the devil will be as much in the delivery as the detail.
What next for PE target Morrisons?
There may be more reasons to buy Morrisons, but only one really counts as far as the private equity players currently circling it are concerned: its £6bn property portfolio.
The countdown to RESI begins
If you look out the windows of the Property Week office in Croydon, you can see cranes in almost every direction, most of them hoisting building materials up and down residential towers.
Welcome to the new WFH
I was sure that after 16 months of not being able to take foreign holidays (or domestic ones easily), the whole industry would decamp for at least a fortnight this summer as parts of the market hardest hit by the pandemic picked themselves up off the deck with a view ...
Will Liverpool walk on?
Few cities currently illustrate the ups and downs of the world of property development quite like Liverpool.
Property presses the play button
Freedom day wasn’t quite the ‘disaster day’ some had forecast, but it didn’t feel particularly liberating, did it? With Covid cases continuing to rise and some of the double-jabbed among them, it is little wonder that people remain anxious about returning to the office (or heading to the shops).
Kick racism out of property
There was a sickening inevitability to it – so much so that I switched my phone and the TV off as soon as the game ended and I realised what was coming – but I did not think for a second that one of the idiots taking to social media ...
