The future of commerce in the Netherlands at least among LIDL delegates seems even more cemented for a lucrative future following the deal its E-Commerce branch has made with Delin CAM on an area of land in the bustling Roosendaal region of the country. In total, no less than 58,000 square meters have been agreed on between the two large and profitable enterprises. By pre-letting this large piece of land to LIDL, it is hoped that even more logistical developments and plans for building will continue in order to ensure the future of e-commerce in the thriving region as well as in that of Holland as a whole, and for the rest of Europe in the North Western regions of the world for that matter. The Benelex region will also witness significant growth and retail expansion as the year progresses further on into March and April, with a total of 100,000 square meters of the overall 150,000 square meters expected to already be in the stages of building and development by the end of this very year. This clearly demonstrates the logistical developments that are taking place within LIDL itself and other retail sectors, meaning that enterprises like DCAM can invest even more than ever before into building space for these companies to organize their logistical developments across the whole of Europe. In Amsterdam Park, a particularly popular logistics site due to its strategic proximity to the busy port of the same city, DCAM will devote themselves to pursuing the construction of warehouse space in amounts totaling 35,000 square meters of space for companies with the rent funding capacity to use for their logistics procedures and for storage. With reliable contractual development company Unibouw expected to complete the building, design and construction of the warehouse space and with plans to have it up and run by early next year of 2018, the future of DCAM and companies such as LIDL looks bright in Holland.
Work has gone under way in the area of the London docklands to clear away the former site of the Westferry Printworks base. Only once this is done will building and construction developments take place to construct a brand new walkway and waterfront area in the vicinity of business sector Canary Wharf along the bank side of the River Thames. An area of 16 acres of land, the former printing work base will be cleared up over the course of the next few months so that more than 700 new homes will be able to built in the area. This will enable a brand new community to develop in the pleasurable sector and region of this part of the city where a new infrastructure and community will be set in order to ensure the future of the economy in the area. This is an excellent attempt to create a new number of homes for the London area and something which the land developing world in London and the rest of the United Kingdom can follow as an example of investment and growth by companies into creating more homes and prosperity. Richard Desmond the head of Northern & Shell enterprise that had previously owned the Westferry Printworks is very pleased that the land is going to put to good use and that the Docklands of London will be able to thrive once again. Indeed, such an enterprise will also allow for the implementation of a school for children in secondary education that will have 1,200 places. This indicates the amounts of growth and investments that Richard Desmond and Northern & Shell are implementing by enforcing the clearing away of the Printworks and the hope is that the area will become a new and vital community right on the doorstep of the Canary Wharf sector of the city.
An online agency dealing in real estate in the property and development sector of the country known as HouseSimple has discovered that there has been a considerable increase in the amount of homes being built and supplied in various towns and cities across the country in the last month of January this year as compared to December 2016. The research figures that they have compiled indicate that there have been almost twice as many homes being built and supplied in the last month as compared to the previous one of December, totaling a 93.3 percentage increase. Of course, it is quite natural during the December month that the rate of property construction and supplying tends to decrease, what with the impact of adverse weather conditions as well as the traditional holiday period of that year. Nevertheless, only a month later, the fact that the amount of homes across the United Kingdom has increased to the point that it surpassed twice as much in over a quarter (27.1 per cent) of the country’s urban areas demonstrates a significant rise in growth and a sense of enthusiasm in the building and construction industry to tackle the problems that it will undoubtedly face this year with bravery and optimism. The area of Lichfield in the West Midlands was the area in the country that increased the most in property supply in January compared to the month before, with a staggering 268.4 per cent increase by the end of the last month. Undoubtedly, this is a sign that the West Midlands is certainly living up to be one of the most lucrative areas for property development and construction. Indeed, it was also listed in a survey by eMoov recently (another estate agency accessible by internet means, like HouseSimple) as the most desirable place for young couples wishing to start a family in a more affordable housing area.
The building design and construction industries in this country will need to put up with the evidence that more people than ever before are committing to buying a property for the first time in 2017. The Connells Survey and Valuation data has shown that despite the difficulties faced by many people today and the fluctuations of the housing market, the fact of the matter is that more and more people are deciding to buy a home for the first time this year than they did in 2016. For example, it has been demonstrated that 34 per cent of the activity on the housing market is due to the bustling of first-time buyers, as compared to the previous year when it was only leveled at 25 per cent in 2016. Similarly, more have been shown to sell property this year: the figures indicate a 5 per cent increase in this compared to the previous year which was found to be at 21 per cent overall. What this indicates to someone like John Bagshaw of Connells Survey and Valuation is that more and more people are committing to buying up property for their private selves than in the previous year. Mister Bagshaw puts this down to greater job opportunities being offered to people that enable them to consider the private housing market, whilst another cause of this is claimed to be the fact that the rise in wages to 3 per cent overall is an incentive for making people want to buy property for the first time. In any case, this is clearly signaled to be a wake-up call to the building, design and construction industries to build more homes and develop on greater areas of land than ever before in order to cope with the increasing demands of first-time buyers. Indeed, many of these tend to be in the younger age range and are desirous of starting families in their new homes: greater amounts of bedrooms and investment therefore need to be considered.
The University of Central Lancashire (also known in more trendy quarters of this country as the UCLan) is to witness a major new property and development progression as it commits towards a program designed to create new social space for its lucky students worth in the range of £8.15 million. In conjunction with the faculty’s intentions to refurbish and improve itself over the next year by devoting up to £200 million towards rebuilding parts of the faculty, this particular improvement to the campus will be commissioned to Conlon Construction. This particular company, which has its footing in the area of Preston, will ensure that work is completed to the best of their ability and is scheduled to be finished by the end of the year. Indeed, Conlon Construction do not lie around, since last week on the 6th February they declared the project open and ready to go by putting the first shovelful of work towards the project. The Greenbank and Harrington site has already witnessed some major developments and progress has been made already by Conlon Construction so that university planners and delegates are confident that the independent contractor will deliver the space on time and on budget. In total, work on the two sites (which also include significant rebuilding along the Foster location of the building area) will necessitate amounts of concrete worth up to 90 individual piles as well as up to 150 tons of steel material. With all of this in mind, it is clear that Conlon Construction will also need to be good in order to ensure the logistical transportation and delivery of the materials onto the site. Members of UCLan have expressed their confidence in Conlon Construction and their belief that the company will be able to aid them in making their refurbishment plans come true and get delivered to them on time and within budget.
A real estate fund manager, Clearbell, has announced that Clearbell Property Partners II LP has completed a string of sales in its Amber portfolio recently, within the last third of the year. These amounts total to an approximated £24 million. Following the sales there are now 20 remaining assets in the portfolio, spread across the country. The portfolio initially included 29 assets and was acquired from Aberdeen Asset Management as far back as the summer of 2015, with Franklin Templeton Real Asset Advisors on behalf of a client, and one other co-investment partner. Indeed, in the months in between October and January of this year, a total of 5 assets were sold, totalling 265,000 square feet of space. Acquired by investors based primarily within Great Britain, the assets range from locations such as Milton Keynes to areas in the vicinity of Glasgow in Scotland. Indeed, it seems clear that businesses and industries are attracted to the kind of assets enclosed within the portfolio that is managed by Clearbell. 20 assets remain within the portfolio. The total amount of sales across the portfolio to date reach £44 million.
A division of Futureal known as Cordia is very pleased to announce that it is set to ensure the development of an all-new ambitious project that will inject greater property development and construction into the Hungarian city of Budapest. Relieving GTC of their duties, Cordia will now be responsible for the building and construction of an exciting project located in the hilly and much sought after Buda area of the country. By injecting a further 140 million euros into the project that had originally begun under GTC, the funds will allow for the building of 850 habitations. As if that were not enough to get excited about, there is much more to this land development than merely to build homes for people living in the region. Indeed, Cordia has the intention of also committing funds and planning to oversee the construction of a brand new park dedicated to leisurely activities in the area that will total 8,000 square meters of private land. In addition to this, an area for office building will be an added feature of this ambitious development in the beautiful Hungarian location. Following on from Cordia’s multi-award laden Corvin Promenade initiative, the Budapest project is set to be in the same vein of ambitious construction and is not set to be finished until at least 2021. The new site will be known as the Sasad Resort and will be the crème de la crème of Hungarian industrial development. Indeed, Mister Gabor Futo, the clan leader of Futureal Group, is extremely pleased that Cordia will manage the project moving on from GTC, and this will equally mean the creation of a further 100-plus jobs for the local community. Of course, Futureal Group have the blessing of the previous company, GTC, who rather than throw the towel in early have moved onto different pastures in the building and development sector. Mister Robert Snow the Chief Executive Officer of GTC Hungary has declared that he is very pleased that a company like Cordia under Futureal are going to oversee the development and construction of the land.
The LLDC has recently allowed Lyndon Goods Architecture (LGA) to begin work on a new site that will feature in the center of the capital’s bustling Hackney Wick environment. Drawn from the fish art that is such a star of Fish Island in Hackney Wick, the new building structure is set to include a grand total of 580 new habitations. A number of designers have affiliated themselves with the project that include Haworth Tompkins as well as Pitman Tozer, with inspirations from all kinds of other buildings in the Hackney Wick area including of course those on Fish Island. Having been in implementation since the end of December in 2016, the designing period to allow Block A of the structure to be built is well under way now and will be able to contain five storeys of building. It will contain 16 apartments of room numbers ranging between 1 and 3, and will also have the space for a restaurant as well as a café-bar area to be installed upon the premises. This is excellent news for the developers who have styled the outside of the façade to resemble a gritty urban outside that is a feature of the buildings and artwork of Fish Island. Structured and patterned from a material look known as herringbone, the new building development is set to be the pride and joy of the Hackney Wick area. Indeed, LGA Director Mister Simon Goode has announced that he is very pleased that the building will be able to act as a testament to the inspired and unusual artwork that is a feature of the area and is pleased that through this the structure will be able to blend in well with the surrounding environment. It is clear that the work of those on Fish Island Village will be paid homage as it should be by Lyndon Goods Architecture.
Running a business from your own premises can be costly, not only in terms of regular outgoing bills but also to pay external contractors to come in and conduct work, whether that is to redecorate the office or to get on the roof and clear the gutters. Whatever work is needed to be completed by contractors you need to make sure your business premises is safe enough to conduct work in, and implementing the following into your workplace is essential. Site Induction for All New Visitors It doesn’t matter how big your premises is you should always do a site induction for any new contractors that have to work on the site, and that will mean explaining to them where the nearest fire exits are, and of course letting them know where the fire assembly point is if there is a fire. There are many other safety explanations to make sure contractors are aware of. Doing a site induction may take time out of your day, but it’s something that needs to be done to ensure the safety of all visitors. Built-in Ladders around the Warehouse A lot of business premises are built around warehouse environments so you need to make sure there are numerous built-in ladders to ensure contractors can get to their place of work safely. Sometimes you may need to get roof access ladders if contractors need to conduct work on the roof, and other times you may need to look at built-in ladder options if there are roofs within the warehouse environment itself. Make Sure Working Areas Are Clean & Tidy Not only will you want to make sure your working environment is clean and tidy for your employees to work more efficiently and safe in, but when you have visitors you will also want to protect them as much as possible. In a warehouse environment, you will find that there is always banding around that can be tripped over, and plenty of other materials that can cause slips and potential injuries. Always make sure your employees keep the working environment clean and tidy as that will protect you if any other contractors come in to conduct work. Abide By Health & Safety Regulations Health & safety regulators are sometimes known to be over the top when it comes to making warehouse environments safe to work in, but following the rules is important for the safety of all employees and external contractors. If you do not follow the rules not only will you be subject to fines, but your employees could succumb to injury. Implementing the above into any warehouse environment is important for your employees and visitors. If you do not implement the above you may find workers get injured and that could be a costly expense to your business, and in some cases, it could mean you lose your business altogether. It might be a costly investment in terms of money and time to make your working environment safe, but it’s a mandatory practice and all business owners should be doing it to protect themselves and everyone working in the area.
Workers all over the country need to be made aware of the various methods and new implementations of health and safety operations that have been put into place for them. It was reported by the Health and Safety Executive recently that a total of 144 people working on building sites were killed at work between 2015 and 2016. This is a very alarming statistic that betrays the dangers of working companies in this country that do not take into consideration enough the wellbeing of their workers and it is a sign that more and more businesses in the construction industry need to get with the program and put the safety of their workers first. Whilst the number of workmen dying on-site has decreased in the 21st Century from the previous ones in Britain, it is a worrying sign in these times to still see that a considerable number are being reported to have died on site. It is clear, for example, that putting unobtainable targets before the safety of working contractors does result in them having to put their health and safety at risk. With the amount of increased investment and lucrative contractual deals being won every day by companies, more needs to be done to relieve the pressure off workers that can distract them from remaining in a safe working environment. Indeed, every worker in this country ought to have the right to not have to put their very lives at risk in the jobs that they carry out and this is also true for those committing to work in the building design and construction enterprises in this country. The statistics of people dying on building sites is something that needs to be significantly lowered as the years go by and it is hoped that the Health and Safety Executive will have less to report in the future on this particular matter.
