Fields in boom

Article Abstract:

The retail market and the development of industrial land in Leatherhead, Surrey, England, has been slow. In contrast the demand for office space is growing with some speculative building developments in progress. Office rents in Leatherhead have been as high as 23 pounds sterling per sq ft. Companies are looking at Leatherhead for office buildings, partly due to its location near junction 9 of the M25 motorway and due to other, more popular, towns in the area restricting further office development.
