About the survey:
This study, the New Industrial Revolution, highlights the key changes that will shape future supply chains and drive occupier demand
for logistics property over the next 5-10 years in Europe. By providing insight into how supply chains could be modified, we aim to help
businesses plan their future physical distribution networks and spotlight how developers and investors can unlock value and enhance
the performance of their logistics property assets. A better awareness of supply chain trends is critical to a better understanding of
real estate opportunities – whether you are a corporate occupier, a developer or an investor.

RELINKING THE SUPPLY CHAIN. RETHINKING PROPERTY
In Europe’s cities ‘same-day delivery’, last-mile fulfilment and urban logistics’ unique challenges will
fundamentally change the types of distribution properties required.
SUPPLY CHAIN IMPACT
Changes in retail, including the growth in online
sales and returns, are driving requirements
for an expanding range of delivery models,
and therefore new logistics models.
Businesses should look at greater
collaboration, including shared-user
facilities and consolidation centres,
and multi-modal options.
Cities will seek to become 24-hour
economies which would require
transformations in logistics.
CITY LOGISTICS
WHAT’S CHANGING?
Efficient city logistics will become essential
due to last-mile delivery having to deal with
escalating parcel volumes and other urban
challenges such as congestion, city-centre
access and transport infrastructures
prioritising people, not goods.
OPPORTUNITY AHEAD
The consumer market is rapidly becoming a 24-hour environment
… assets do not operate 24 hours and there is a large level
of underutilisation. – Simon Morris, GAC

• Facilities for last mile deliveries,
collections and returns’ processing
• Shared-user urban consolidation centres
• Multi-modal logistics platforms including
use of rail and/or inland waterways
• Multi-storey ramped logistics facilities
Q: How will these trends impact the future location of industrial and logistics facilities?
Big cities’ distinctive attributes, coupled with today’s
particular economic challenges, suggest a need
to rethink city logistics.
PROPERTY IMPLICATIONS
City planners do not necessarily know the best way to deal
with freight deliveries. – Wolfgang Lehmacher, WEF
