Bristol will be facing a severe shortage of prime office space in its city centre if the economy continues to grow at its current rate, warn Colliers CRE. The forecast is included in the first research paper published by Coliers CRE into the central Bristol offices market. City centre take-up figures for office space at 206,652 sq ft for the first half of 2006 was approx 10% ahead of the equivalent figure for 2005. Current availability stands at 941,453 sq ft – an overall decrease of nearly 24% in the past two years. Instrumental in this fall has been a significant shortage of Grade A ready-to-occupy accommodation. And while this year saw the highest total completion of office space for four years, more than 75% of that space was already spoken for. Grade A now represents just 9% of available space. - (10-11-2006)
