The tide has turned

Article Abstract:

There have been mixed developments in the property sector in towns in East Sussex, England. The Priory Meadow shopping centre has not had a negative impact on existing retailers in Hastings, England, although the focus of retailing in the town has shifted. There is a growing shortage of vacant industrial space in the town. There have been few industrial property deals in Eastbourne, England, since the beginning of 1997, while there is little retail space available for letting. A development made up of shops, offices and restaurants is being undertaken at Sovereign Harbour, to the east of the town.

Dividing line

Article Abstract:

South London, England, has traditionally had a negative reputation compared with the north of the city. However, this situation is now beginning to change. Certain parts of south London are becoming popular residential areas, and the region is also attracting people interested in restaurants and in the arts. Its fortunes are also set to be boosted by the opening of the Jubilee Line in 1999, which will greatly improve transport links. This could lead to a rise in demand for large sites at attractive prices.

A platform for development

Article Abstract:

The town of Swindon, England, has attracted many high-tech businesses. According to some agents, it is now suffering from a lack of new industrial space to allow future expansion, with the local authority seeking a period consolidation. Some developments are going ahead, however, including Lydiard Fields, situated at junction 16 of the M4. In the office sector, demand is limited, especially in the city centre, where some 44,127 sq mt stands empty.
